Ingredients
Scale
Brownie Cookie Dough
- 1/2 cup (113 g) unsalted butter, room temperature
- 3/4 cup (150 g) light brown sugar, packed
- 1/4 cup (50 g) granulated sugar
- 1 large egg (room temperature)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1/3 cup Dutch-process cocoa powder
- 1 cup (125 g) all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled
- 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2/3 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough
- 2 3/4 cups (345 g) all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup (226 g) unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 3/4 cup (150 g) light brown sugar, packed
- 2/3 cup (130 g) granulated sugar
- 1 egg (plus 1 egg yolk, room temperature)
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- Flaky sea salt for sprinkling (optional)
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, beat the room-temperature butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar for the brownie cookie dough until smooth and creamy.
- Add the egg and vanilla, mixing until combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder, flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture and mix until a chocolate dough forms.
- Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips.
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt for the chocolate chip cookie dough.
- Add the cold, cubed butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Mix until the ingredients begin to come together.
- Add the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla. Mix until combined.
- Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients, mixing just until a dough forms. Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Take portions of both doughs and gently press them together, keeping the brownie and chocolate chip doughs visibly distinct.
- Shape into cookie-sized mounds and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving space between each cookie.
- Sprinkle with flaky sea salt if desired.
- Bake at the recipe’s specified temperature until the edges are set and the centers remain slightly soft.
- Let the cookies rest briefly on the baking sheet, then transfer to a wire rack to cool.
Notes
- Keep the brownie dough butter at room temperature and the chocolate chip cookie dough butter cold and cubed, as specified.
- Avoid overmixing after adding the flour to keep the cookies tender.
- Flaky sea salt is optional but adds a pleasant contrast to the chocolate sweetness.
