Fudgy Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Brownies

2 oz unsweetened chocolate, melted
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 cup butter, melted
1/4 cup very hot coffee
1 cup sugar
1 large egg
2/3 cup flour
1 tsp vanilla
pinch of salt
1 cup chocolate chips, dusted with 1 tsp flour

For the cookie dough:
3/4 cup butter, softened
3/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar
3/4 cup sugar
3 T milk
1.5 tsp vanilla
1.5 cups flour
1.5 cups chocolate chips

Preheat the oven to 350. Line an 8 inch pan with foil and generously butter or spray the foil. In a large bowl, whisk together the melted chocolate and baking soda. Whisk in about half of the melted butter until smooth. Then whisk in the hot coffee until thick and smooth. Whisk in the sugar, egg, and remaining butter until smooth. Stir in the four, vanilla, and salt until combined. Fold in chocolate chips. Spread the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 25-30 minutes. Let cool

For the cookie dough:
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugars until smooth. Beat in the milk and vanilla until smooth. Mix in the flour until just combined and gently stir in the chocolate chips. Spread the cookie dough over the completely cooled brownies in the pan, smoothing the top. Place in the fridge to chill or at least 1 hour, or until the cookie dough is firm. Remove the brownies from the pan by lifting the foil and cut into small bars to serve.

Optional glaze:
Melt 1/2 cup chocolate chips in the microwave. Place into a ziploc bag and snip off the corner. Drizzle over cooled brownies or spread over top.
