Instructions:
- Preparation:
- Preheat the oven to 175°C (350°F). Line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper.
- For the Brownie Batter:
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt chocolate chips and butter, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth. Mix in cocoa powder until integrated and set aside.
- In another bowl, whisk eggs and sugar for 1-2 minutes until light and fluffy.
- Combine melted chocolate with the egg mixture gently. Fold in flour and salt just until the mixture is uniform. Set aside.

- Cream together butter and both sugars.
- Mix in the egg and vanilla. Gradually add flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt, folding until almost mixed.
- Stir in chocolate chips until evenly distributed.

- Spread half of the brownie batter in the prepared pan. Flatten pieces of cookie dough and lay them over this layer.
- Top with the remaining brownie batter. Scatter small pieces of cookie dough across the top.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes. The edges should be set, and the center slightly wobbly.
