Sixteen orange-chocolate layered brownie-cookie squares.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, softened for cookie
- 1/3 cup Light brown sugar, packed
- 1 yolk Large egg yolk
- 3/4 cup All-purpose flour, for cookie
- 1/3 cup Semisweet chocolate chips
- 2 teaspoons Orange zest, finely grated
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted for brownie
- 1/2 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 egg Large egg
- 1/4 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/3 cup All-purpose flour, for brownie
- 1/4 teaspoon Fine salt
Instructions
- Heat oven to 350°F and line an eight-inch metal pan. Cream 4 tbsp softened butter with 1/3 cup brown sugar. Mix in one egg yolk, then 3/4 cup flour, 1/3 cup chocolate chips, 2 tsp orange zest and half of the 1/4 tsp salt. Press an even layer in the pan.
- Whisk 4 tbsp melted butter with 1/2 cup granulated sugar and one egg. Fold in 1/4 cup cocoa, 1/3 cup flour and remaining salt. Spread gently over the cookie layer without disturbing it.
- Bake approximately 30–35 minutes until a tester from the brownie layer shows moist crumbs, not liquid batter, and the egg-containing center reaches at least 160°F.
- Cool about 90 minutes, lift and cut sixteen small squares. Test two-layer doneness, orange intensity and clean cut before finalizing.
