• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking pan with parchment paper or grease it lightly.
2. Make the brownie batter: In a bowl, mix melted butter, sugar, eggs, and vanilla. Add cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder. Stir until combined.

4. Layer the batters: Spread the brownie batter evenly in the prepared pan. Drop spoonfuls of cookie dough on top and gently press to create an even layer.
5. Bake: Place the pan in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
6. Cool and serve: Allow the brookies to cool completely before cutting into squares. Enjoy with a glass of milk or your favorite beverage!
