  8. Mix in milk and vanilla until smooth. Add flour and salt, mixing until combined.

Notes

Make sure the brownies are completely cool before adding the cookie dough to prevent it from melting.
For cleaner slices, use a hot knife and wipe it between cuts.
Feel free to experiment with different types of chocolate chips or add nuts for extra texture.
You can prepare the brownie layers ahead of time and store them wrapped at room temperature. The ganache can also be made a day in advance.
