Instructions
- Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
- Brown the butter in a saucepan over medium heat until milk solids turn golden brown. Reserve 1/4 cup browned butter for the cookie layer.

- Fold the chocolate-butter mixture and vanilla into the egg mixture until smooth.
- Sift in flour and salt, folding gently until combined.
- Stir in dark chocolate buttons or chunks.
- Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
- In a separate bowl, beat the reserved browned butter with brown sugar, white sugar, egg (or yolk), vanilla, and salt until light and fluffy.
- Sift in flour and baking soda, mixing until just combined.
- Chill the cookie dough in the fridge for 10-15 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350ºF (175ºC).
- Scoop the chilled cookie dough on top of the brownie batter. Sprinkle extra chocolate chunks over the surface.
- Bake for 22 minutes using top and bottom heat, then switch to bottom heat only for another 5 minutes.
- Cool completely in the pan before slicing into squares.
Notes
- Brown butter adds a nutty aroma and flavor.
- Using egg yolk in the cookie dough makes it richer and chewier.
