Preheat the Oven: Preheat to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9×9-inch baking pan with parchment paper or grease it lightly.

Melt the Chocolate and Butter: Melt dark chocolate and butter together in a heatproof bowl. Stir until smooth, then let it cool slightly.

-
Prepare the Brownie Mixture: Whisk together eggs, caster sugar, Demerara sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Add melted chocolate mixture and mix well.

-
Assemble the Browkies: Spread brownie batter evenly in the pan. Spoon cookie dough over the top and spread it gently.

Bake: Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs.

Cool and Serve: Let cool for 15-20 minutes before cutting into squares.
Notes
Use white chocolate chips or a mix of milk and dark chocolate chips for variety.
Add nuts (walnuts, pecans, almonds) for extra crunch.
Make it gluten-free by swapping all-purpose flour with a gluten-free blend.
To make it vegan, use dairy-free butter and flax eggs instead of regular eggs.
