Make the cookie layer:
-
whisk the flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt together until combined. Set aside.
-
In a large bowl using a hand-held or stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the butter for 2 minutes on high speed until completely smooth and creamy.
-
Add the brown sugar and granulated sugar, then beat on medium high speed until fluffy and light in color.
-
Beat in the egg and vanilla on high speed. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl as needed.
-
On low speed, slowly mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until combined then beat in the chocolate chips.
-
The cookie dough will be thick. Press evenly into the prepared pie pan.
Make the brownie layer:
-
Melt the butter and chopped chocolate together in a heat-proof bowl in the microwave for 1 and 1/2 minutes.
-
Remove and stir until all the chocolate is melted. Reheat for 20 more seconds if needed.

Allow to cool for 5 minutes before adding the eggs (don’t want them to scramble!).

Whisk in both sugars, the eggs, and vanilla extract. Then whisk in the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Spread over the cookie layer.
-
Bake the pie for 45 to 60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean with a few moist brownie crumbs.
-
Loosely tent the top of the pie with aluminum foil if the edges are browning too quickly.
-
Allow to cool completely in the pan set on a wire rack.
-
Or allow to only cool for 30 minutes and serve warm with ice cream.
