Recipe: Brown Butter Brookie Bars

Ingredients

Brown 1 ¾ cups of unsalted butter in a medium saucepan and divide it into two portions: 1 ¼ cup for the brownies and ½ cup for the cookie dough.
Let the brown butter cool for at least 5 minutes before mixing with the sugars.
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9×9 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine the browned butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar, then beat until smooth.
Mix in the egg and vanilla extract until creamy, then stir in the flour, baking soda, salt, and cornstarch (if using). Fold in the chocolate chips.
In another bowl, whisk together the remaining brown sugar, granulated sugar, and the 1 ¼ cup of browned butter. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
Stir in cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and salt, then fold in the flour until just combined.
Spread the brownie batter evenly into the prepared pan, then drop spoonfuls of cookie dough over the brownie batter, gently pressing it down.
Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Allow to cool completely in the pan before slicing into 20 pieces.
