Description
A decadent dessert that combines fudgy brownies and gooey chocolate chip cookies into one delicious, layered treat — also known as ‘brookies.’
Ingredients
½ cup unsalted butter, melted (for brownie layer)
1 cup granulated sugar (for brownie layer)
2 large eggs (for brownie layer)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for brownie layer)
⅓ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
½ cup all-purpose flour (for brownie layer)
¼ teaspoon salt (for brownie layer)
¼ teaspoon baking powder
½ cup unsalted butter, softened (for cookie layer)
½ cup granulated sugar (for cookie layer)
½ cup packed brown sugar
1 large egg (for cookie layer)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for cookie layer)
1¼ cups all-purpose flour (for cookie layer)
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt (for cookie layer)
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together melted butter, sugar, eggs, and vanilla for the brownie layer until smooth.
- Sift in the cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder. Stir until just combined.
- Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
- In a large bowl, cream softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until fluffy.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract to the cookie mixture and beat until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add to the wet cookie mixture until a soft dough forms.
- Fold in chocolate chips.
- Drop spoonfuls of cookie dough over the brownie batter and gently spread to cover evenly.
- Bake for 25–30 minutes (up to 35), until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Allow to cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares.
Notes
Add chopped nuts for crunch.
Swirl in peanut butter for extra richness.
Use different chocolate types like white or dark chunks for variation.
Make in muffin tins for mini brookies (reduce bake time).
Store at room temp for 3 days or freeze up to 2 months.
