Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line an eight-inch square baking pan with parchment paper.
2. In a bowl, combine all brownie layer ingredients; pour into prepared pan.
3. In a second bowl, combine cookie layer ingredients; place on brownie layer. (It’s easiest if you flatten pieces of the dough with your hand and place them on the bottom layer.)
4. Bake for 35 minutes or until toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. When cooled, cut into squares.
Notes:
This recipe works best using a real pan; however, if you are using a disposable pan, you might have to increase the baking time by five to 10 minutes. Add 1/2 cup chocolate chips to the brownie layer to make it super chocolatey.
