Ingredients

Brownie

• 200 g butter
• 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
• 150 g dark or semisweet chocolate
• 3 eggs
• 250 g superfine sugar
• 135 g flour
• pinch of salt

Cookie Dough

• 80 g all-purpose flour
• 1/3 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 tablespoon vanilla sugar
• 50 g butter
• 80 g cane sugar
• 1 small egg
• 50 g dark or semisweet chocolate

Preparation

1. Preheat the oven to 160°C. Prepare a small rectangular baking pan, about 21 cm x 28 cm (or a similar surface area), and line it with parchment paper.
2. Prepare the brownie batter: cut the butter into cubes, place it in a saucepan, and melt over low heat. Add the cocoa powder and the chocolate broken into small pieces, and melt, stirring constantly. Remove from the heat.
3. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs with the sugar (about 1-2 minutes, until the sugar dissolves). Add the melted chocolate and butter to the eggs and mix until smooth. Add the flour and salt and mix into a uniform batter. Pour into the prepared pan and smooth the surface.
4. Prepare the cookie dough: put the flour in a bowl, add the salt, baking soda and vanilla sugar, and mix.
5. In another bowl, beat the butter with the cane sugar for about 4 minutes. Add the egg and beat for another 2-3 minutes. Add the dry ingredients and mix. Add the chopped chocolate and stir in with a spoon.
6. Drop spoonfuls of the cookie dough over the brownie batter, then use a toothpick to swirl the cookie dough slightly into the brownie batter in places.
7. Bake for about 35 minutes, until the cake rises slightly and a crust forms on top.
