Preparation
  1. Brown the butter in a pan over medium heat until it has a nutty aroma and turns a deep amber color. Let it cool.
  2. For brownies, whisk together eggs, brown sugar, cooled browned butter, melted chocolate, and vanilla. Stir in flour, cocoa powder, and salt.
  3. For cookies, cream together brown sugar, granulated sugar, and cooled brown butter. Mix in egg and vanilla, then stir in flour, baking soda, salt, and chocolate chips.
Baking
  1. Spread the brownie batter in a lined baking pan.
  2. Plop spoonfuls of cookie dough on top, leaving some brownie visible.
  3. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F for 30-35 minutes or until just set. Let cool before slicing.

Notes

Let the browned butter cool before mixing to prevent scrambling the eggs. Use real chocolate chips for the best flavor.
