Brown Butter Brookies
Viral Chef's most-saved recipe — brownie batter and chocolate chip cookie dough alternated in one pan, both built on the same batch of nutty browned butter, with M&M's, pretzels, and extra chocolate chips. Every slice has crisp edges, a gooey center, and the perfect balance of sweet, salty, and deeply nutty.

Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups unsalted butter
- 4 oz dark chocolate, chopped
- 3/4 cup Dutch processed cocoa powder
- 1 3/4 cups light brown sugar

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F. Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.

- For the cookie dough: Combine cooled brown butter with granulated sugar and brown sugar. Add 2 eggs and 1 yolk, mix until pale. Add flour, baking powder, and salt. Fold in chocolate chips, mini M&Ms, and crushed pretzels.
- Alternate scoops of brownie batter and cookie dough in the prepared pan. Gently spread without overmixing.
- Bake 35-45 minutes until a knife comes out mostly clean. Cool before slicing.
