Instructions
For the brownies
Preheat oven to 325°F. Line a 9”x9” pan with parchment and spray with cooking spray. Set aside.
In a medium sized microwave safe bowl, combine the butter and sugar. Melt the butter and sugar in 30 second increments (it took me about 2 minutes). Combine until the sugar is mostly dissolved and the butter is completely melted.
Allow the mixture to cool slightly, then whisk in the eggs one at a time, whisking between each addition. The mixture should lighten in color.
With a rubber spatula, fold in the cocoa powder, all-purpose flour, salt, and vanilla extract.
Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and bake for roughly 45 minutes, testing for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center of the brownies beginning at 40 minutes. It might take up to 50 minutes for them to cook thoroughly, depending on your oven.
Let them cool completely in the pan before assembly.
For the cookie dough filling
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the butter and sugars until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
Add the vanilla extract and mix until combined.
Slowly add in the flour and salt and mix until the dry ingredients are incorporated.
Stir in the mini chocolate chips and sprinkles.
Assembly
After the brownies have cooled completely, spread the cookie dough over the brownies while they are still in the pan. Be sure to even it out and to get all four corners.
Place them in the freezer for about 2 minutes to chill.
Pour the melted chocolate on top, sprinkle with the sprinkles, and serve!
