  1. Brown the Butter: In a saucepan over medium heat, melt 1 cup of unsalted butter, stirring constantly for about 5-7 minutes until golden brown.

  3. Mix the Brownie Batter: Melt bittersweet chocolate, blend with remaining brown butter, add egg and sifted flour until smooth.
  4. Layer the Brownie Batter: Pour ⅓ of brownie batter into the prepared pan.
  5. Create the Marbled Effect: Drop dollops of cookie dough and spoon remaining brownie batter on top, creating a marbled effect.
