Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Line a 8 x 8 inch brownie tray with parchment paper.
• To make the brownie batter: Melt the dark chocolate and butter - either place a metal bowl over boiling water (making sure that only the steam touches the bottom of the bowl) and melt the chocolate and butter together. Or melt butter in the microwave until bubbling and add in chocolate, whisk until completely melted.
• In another bowl, mix the eggs, white and brown sugar, and vanilla extract and whisk these ingredients until they're well combined. Then mix in the chocolate and butter mixture.
• Sift the baking powder, flour, cocoa powder, and a pinch of sea salt and combine with wet ingredients - mix until just combined, don't overmix.
• To make the cookie dough: Add the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar to a mixing bowl. Use a hand or stand mixer and mix it until it is creamy and pale yellow in color.
• Add in the egg, vanilla extract, and mix until well incorporated.
• Sift in the flour, baking soda, and salt. Mix with a rubber spatula until fully combined, don't overmix
• Place half of the brownie batter on the bottom of the brownie tray and scoop the cookie dough into balls and put on top. Fill the spaces left between the cookie dough balls with the other half of the brownie mixture. Add the chocolate chips on top and use a rubber spatula to combine everything by making swirls.
• Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until you insert a toothpick in the center and it comes out dry. Cool tray on a wire rack before cutting. Enjoy!

BROOKIES

Steps:

• Butter a 23cm square cake tin and line with baking parchment. Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. First, make the cookie layer. Put the butter and both sugars in a bowl and beat with an electric whisk until just combined. Alternatively, do this in a stand mixer. Add the whole egg and egg yolk, and beat again until combined. Mix in the flour, ¼ tsp salt, the bicarbonate of soda and chocolate chunks. Press the cookie dough into the base of the prepared tin using the back of a spoon, then chill for 30 mins.
• For the brownie layer, melt the butter and chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a pan of just simmering water, stirring until smooth and combined. Leave to cool slightly, about 10 mins. Whisk the eggs, vanilla and sugar together in a large bowl with an electric whisk until slightly thickened, about 3 mins. Fold the cooled chocolate and butter mixture through the beaten eggs with a large spoon until well combined.
• Fold the buttery chocolate mixture, cocoa and flour together to combine. Spoon the brownie mixture over the cookie dough layer, dot with the chocolate chunks, and sprinkle with sea salt flakes, if you like. Bake in the centre of the oven for 50 mins-1 hr, or until a skewer inserted into the middle comes out with just a few crumbs clinging to it. Leave to cool completely in the tin before cutting into squares.
