Ingredients
  

1 cup unsalted butter, melted

1 cup granulated sugar

1 cup brown sugar, packed

4 large eggs

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

For the Cookie Dough Topping:

1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened

3/4 cup brown sugar, packed

1/4 cup granulated sugar

2 tablespoons milk

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup mini chocolate chips

Instructions
 

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

    Make Brownie Base: In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Stir until well mixed.

      Add Eggs & Vanilla: Whisk in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and glossy.

        Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

          Add Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips. Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly.

            Prepare Cookie Dough Topping: In a separate bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the milk and vanilla extract, mixing until combined.

              Mix Dry Ingredients: Slowly incorporate the flour into the cookie dough mixture until fully combined, then fold in the mini chocolate chips.

                Assemble: Drop spoonfuls of the cookie dough on top of the brownie batter in the pan. Use a spatula to gently spread it evenly (some brownie batter should still show through).

                  Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean (a few moist crumbs are okay).

                    Cool and Slice: Remove from the oven and let the brownies cool in the pan for about 20 minutes. Then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing into squares.

                        - Presentation Tips: For serving, dust the brownies with powdered sugar and place a dollop of whipped cream on the side. Garnish with mini chocolate chips for added flair! Enjoy your delicious decadence!
