Method
 

Preparation Steps:
  1. Step 1: Prepare your baking pan by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lining a 9x9-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang.
  2. Step 2: Make the brownie base by creaming together the salted butter, dark brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
  3. Step 3: Add the large egg and vanilla extract to the mixture, beating until well combined.
  4. Step 4: Incorporate the dry ingredients by whisking together flour, baking soda, and kosher salt in a separate bowl, then gradually adding to the wet ingredients.
  5. Step 5: Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips gently.
  6. Step 6: Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly.
  7. Step 7: Prepare the cookie layer by combining melted salted butter, Nutella, and eggs in another bowl, mixing until smooth.
  8. Step 8: Spread the cookie layer over the brownie base using a spatula.
  9. Step 9: Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  10. Step 10: Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, lift out using parchment, and cool completely on a wire rack. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt before serving.

Notes

  • Use high-quality chocolate chips for better flavor.
  • Let brownies cool completely for cleaner cuts.
  • Chill in the refrigerator for an even fudgier texture.
