Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Brownie Batter

- Stir in flour, baking soda, and salt until a dough forms.
- Fold in chocolate chips.
Step 3: Assemble & Bake
- Spread the brownie batter evenly in the prepared baking pan.
- Drop spoonfuls of cookie dough over the brownie batter, then gently spread it using a spatula or your fingers.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Let the brookies cool for at least 20 minutes before slicing.
Step 4: Serve & Enjoy!
- Slice into squares and enjoy with a cold glass of milk or a scoop of vanilla ice cream!
