Directions

1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line an 8x8 inch pan with parchment paper.
2. First make the chocolate chip cookies:
3. In a sauce pan, melt the coconut oil. Add in the brown sugar, milk and vanilla and stir until smooth.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt.
5. Pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients in the sauce pan and mix until combined.
6. Fold in the chocolate chips.
7. Evenly press the chocolate chip cookie batter into your prepared 8x8 inch pan and set aside.
8. Secondly make the brownies:
9. Melt 3/4 cup of chocolate chips over a double boiler or slowly in the microwave. Allow it to cool slightly.
10. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt.
11. Add the soy milk, oil and melted chocolate into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined
12. Evenly spread the brownie batter over the chocolate chip cookie base.
13. Bake the brookies for about 27-33 minutes. I found it hard to tell if the brownies were really cooked through, so I usually bake them on the longer end of the time spectrum. If you like super gooey brownies you can remove them sometime after around 27 minutes, but you'll need to allow them to cool completely to become harder before cutting.
14. After removing from the oven, allow the brookies to cool completely before removing them from the pan and cutting them into 16 squares.
15. Serve and enjoy!
