• 1/4 cup milk
• 2 tsp vanilla extract
• 2 cups all-purpose flour (heat-treated for safety)

• 1 and 1/2 cups mini chocolate chips

For the Chocolate Ganache:

• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 6 oz semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
• 1 tbsp unsalted butter (optional, for shine)

Instructions:

Step 1: Prepare the Brownie Layers

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line two 9-inch round cake pans with parchment paper.
2. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter and chopped chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Let it cool slightly.
3. Whisk in the sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
4. Sift in the flour, cocoa powder, and salt, and gently fold the mixture until just combined.
5. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
6. Let the brownies cool completely in the pans before removing.

Step 2: Make the Cookie Dough Layer

1. In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
2. Add the milk and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth.
3. Gradually mix in the heat-treated flour and salt, then fold in the mini chocolate chips.
4. Spread the cookie dough evenly over one of the brownie layers, forming a thick layer.

Step 3: Assemble the Cake

1. Place the second brownie layer on top of the cookie dough layer. Gently press down to secure.

Step 4: Prepare the Ganache

1. In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream until it just begins to simmer (do not boil).
2. Remove from heat and pour over the chopped chocolate in a bowl. Let sit for 1-2 minutes, then stir until smooth.
3. Stir in the butter for extra shine, if desired.

Step 5: Finish the Cake

1. Pour the ganache over the top of the cake, allowing it to drip down the sides.
2. Decorate with additional mini chocolate chips, cookie crumbles, or a drizzle of melted chocolate.

Step 6: Chill and Serve
