Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line a 9"x13" brownie pan with non-stick foil.
Brownie Batter
Place the chocolate, butter and espresso powder in a medium, microwave safe bowl. Use the melt chocolate function on your microwave, or heat for 1 minute, stir, and continue to heat in 30 second intervals (stirring in between) until fully melted and smooth. (You can also use a double boiler for this step)
226 g bittersweet chocolate, 165 g butter, 1/2 tsp espresso powder
In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder and salt. Set aside.
80 g flour, 16 g cocoa powder, 2 g salt
In a large bowl, on low speed, beat together the eggs, egg yolk, sugar, brown sugar and vanilla until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is a thick, glossy, syrup. Avoid whipping too much air into the mixture.
3 eggs, 1 egg yolk, 134 g sugar, 74 g brown sugar, 15 ml vanilla
Stir the melted chocolate mixture into the egg and sugar mixture until uniform in color and consistency.
Add the flour mixture and fold just until no more dry ingredients are visible.
Fold in the blond chocolate chips and semisweet chocolate chips. Set the brownie batter aside.
160 g blonde chocolate chips, 80 g semisweet chocolate chips
Cookie Batter
Add the butter and dry milk powder to a medium saucepan. Cook over medium low heat until the milk solids are golden brown and have a rich, nutty aroma. Immediately transfer to a large mixing bowl,
224 g butter, 16 g dry milk powder
Add the brown sugar, sugar, vanilla and salt to the browned butter, whisk to combine and start the sugar melting. Let rest until cooled to room temperature.
165 g brown sugar, 150 g sugar, 15 ml vanilla, 2 g salt
Beat in the eggs and egg yolks on low speed until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is thick and syrupy.
2 eggs, 1 egg yolk
Stir in the flour and semisweet chocolate chips until no dry ingredients are visible and the chocolate chips are evenly distributed.
240 g flour, 240 g semisweet chocolate chips
Assembly
Add alternating scoops of brownie batter and cookie batter to your prepared pan attempting to get roughly equal distribution of the two batters. Use a butter knife to lightly swirl the batters together (the batters may clump and drag a bit rather than smoothly swirling, that is ok). Gently tap and shake the pan to settle the batter more evenly in the pan.
Place the pan in the preheated oven for about 34 minutes. The edges will be set, the top will be dry and slightly glossy, the middle will appear a little loose if you shake the pan - be careful not to overbake or the brookies will be dry.
Allow the brookies to cool completely before slicing into 24 large or 40 small bars.
