Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13 inch baking pan.

In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Fold in chocolate chips.
5. Layer the Cookie Dough: Drop spoonfuls of the cookie dough over the brownie layer, spreading it as evenly as possible.
6. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
