Instructions

Prepare the Brownies:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease or line a 9×13 baking dish with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, mix together melted butter, vegetable oil, dark brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Add eggs and vanilla extract, mixing well.
- Sift together flour, cocoa powder, espresso, and salt in another bowl. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and stir until just combined. Fold in 3/4 of the chocolate chips.
- Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking dish, topping with remaining chocolate chips. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the center is set but still slightly fudgy. Let cool completely and cut into 1×1-inch pieces.
Prepare the Cookies:
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, cornstarch, and salt.
- In a large bowl, beat together melted butter, dark brown sugar, and granulated sugar until creamy. Add eggs and vanilla extract, mixing until fully combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Fold in chocolate chips.
- Chill the cookie dough for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
Assemble the Cookies:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Scoop a portion of cookie dough, flatten it into a disc, and place a brownie piece in the center. Cover with more cookie dough and roll into a ball.
- Place the dough balls on a baking sheet and bake for 9-11 minutes or until the edges are golden and the centers slightly firm.
- Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack. Sprinkle with a pinch of sea salt before serving.

Notes

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for 4-5 days.
You can freeze the unbaked dough for up to 3 months. Bake directly from the freezer with an extra minute or two.
Add walnuts or pecans to the brownie batter for a nutty twist.
Use white chocolate chips for a different flavor profile.
