Ingredients
Method
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C). Line a 9x9-inch baking pan with parchment paper and lightly grease. Set aside.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, and sea salt. Set aside.
- Melt the semisweet chocolate and butter in a microwave-safe bowl or over low heat on the stovetop. Stir until smooth and glossy. Set aside to cool slightly.
- Beat the eggs in a standing mixer or with a handheld mixer for about 1 minute until pale and thick. Add the granulated sugar and beat for another minute.
- Add the melted chocolate/butter mixture and vanilla extract to the eggs. Stir on low speed until smooth.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and stir on low speed until fully combined.
- Spread the brownie batter evenly in the prepared pan.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is set but still slightly jiggly in the center.
- Let the brownies cool completely on a wire rack.
- In a standing mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, or with a handheld mixer, beat the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar for 1 minute until fluffy.
- Add the milk and vanilla extract and beat until combined.
- Stir in the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt, and beat until the dough comes together.
- Fold in the mini chocolate chips. Set the cookie dough aside.
- In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it simmers. Remove from heat and whisk in the chocolate chips and vanilla extract until smooth and glossy.
- Allow the ganache to cool for 5-10 minutes, whisking occasionally.
- Spread the cookie dough evenly over the cooled brownies. Be gentle to avoid pressing too hard.
- Gently spread the cooled ganache over the cookie dough layer.
- Place the brownies in the refrigerator for 2 hours, or until the ganache is fully set.
- Remove from the refrigerator and cut into 16 squares. Serve at room temperature or slightly chilled.
