- 3 large eggs (for brownies)
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract (for brownies)
- 0.75 cup all-purpose flour (for brownies)
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter (for cookies)
- 0.5 cup brown sugar
- 0.25 cup granulated sugar (for cookies)
- 1 large egg (for cookies)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for cookies)
- 1.25 cups all-purpose flour (for cookies)
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter (for praline)
- 1 cup brown sugar (for praline)
- 0.25 cup heavy cream
- 0.5 cup pecans, chopped
- 0.5 cup powdered sugar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
Make the brownie batter: In a medium saucepan, melt 1 cup of unsalted butter over low heat. Remove from heat and whisk in 1.5 cups of granulated sugar and 0.75 cup of unsweetened cocoa powder until smooth.
Allow the mixture to cool slightly, then mix in 3 large eggs and 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract. Fold in 0.75 cup of all-purpose flour and 0.5 teaspoon of salt. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth it into an even layer.
Prepare the cookie dough: In a medium bowl, cream together 0.5 cup of unsalted butter, 0.5 cup of brown sugar, and 0.25 cup of granulated sugar until light and fluffy using a hand mixer or stand mixer.
Beat in 1 large egg and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Gradually add 1.25 cups of all-purpose flour and 0.5 teaspoon of baking soda. Fold in 1 cup of chocolate chips.
Drop spoonfuls of cookie dough evenly over the brownie batter. Use a spatula or the back of a spoon to gently spread the dough over the top. It’s okay if the layers mix a little.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Remove from oven and let cool completely in the pan.
Make the praline glaze: In a small saucepan, melt 0.5 cup of unsalted butter over medium heat. Stir in 1 cup of brown sugar and 0.25 cup of heavy cream. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 3 minutes.
Remove from heat and stir in 0.5 cup of chopped pecans and 0.5 cup of powdered sugar. Mix until smooth. Let it cool slightly until it thickens but is still pourable.
Drizzle or spread the praline glaze over the cooled brookies. Allow the glaze to set before slicing into squares.
