Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9x13 inch baking pan with parchment paper and spray with non-stick spray.
  2. For Brownie Layer: Whisk melted butter and sugar in a bowl. Add cocoa, vanilla, food coloring, and vinegar. Whisk in eggs. Fold in flour and salt. Set aside.
  3. For Cookie Layer: Cream softened butter and sugars until fluffy. Beat in egg and vanilla. Stir in flour, baking soda, and salt. Fold in chocolate chips.
  4. Drop alternate scoops of brownie batter and cookie dough into the pan in a checkerboard pattern.
  5. Bake for 22-28 minutes until the top is set. A toothpick should come out with moist crumbs.
  6. Sprinkle immediately with flaky sea salt.
  7. Cool completely in the pan before lifting out and slicing.

Use gel food coloring for the best red color. Do not overbake to keep them fudgy.
