  • Preheat oven to 180 degrees. Grease pan generously. Line with parchment paper and lightly grease paper.

  • Now we make the brownie layer. Whisk the cocoa and margarine on low flame till well combined. Allow to cool slightly.
  • Add in the flax egg, vanilla and sugar till the sugar melts.
  • Whisk the dry ingredients together till well combined. Add the wet ingredients and fold in till well combined and fully moist. The batter will be thick.
  • Spread the batter over the cookie batter. The cookie batter may stick to the brownie batter but manage to spread with two spoons.
  • Bake for 30 minutes. Allow to cool slightly.
  • For the icing, whisk the margarine and cocoa powder till well combined. Add in the icing sugar and vanilla extract and mix. Add a little warm water to get a proper icing. Spread on top of the baked brownie.
  • Allow to cool completely in the pan. Pull out the parchment paper and cut into 16 squares.
