Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease or line a 9x13 baking dish for the brownies.

In a bowl, mix together melted butter, oil, sugars. Add eggs and vanilla, mixing well.

Sift together flour, cocoa powder, espresso, and salt. Add to wet mixture and stir until just combined. Fold in 3/4 of the chocolate chips.

Pour batter into the prepared dish, top with remaining chocolate chips, and bake for 20-25 minutes. Remove from oven and cool.

For the cookies, whisk together flour, baking soda, cornstarch, and salt in a medium bowl.

In a large bowl, beat together melted butter and sugars until creamy, then add eggs and vanilla. Mix until combined.

Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet mixture, then fold in chocolate chips.

Chill the dough for 30 minutes to an hour.

Preheat the oven to 350°F.

Cut brownies into 1x1-inch pieces. Scoop cookie dough, flatten it, and place a brownie piece in the center. Cover with more dough and roll into a ball.

Bake for 9-11 minutes or until edges are golden and slightly firm. Cool on a rack and sprinkle with sea salt.
