Print Recipe

brookie is the perfect love child of a chocolate chip cookie and a fudgy brownie. It’s chewy, chocolatey, and downright irresistible. Let’s jump in,

Ingredients

Scale

For the Brownie Layer:

  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder

For the Cookie Layer:

  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup chocolate chips

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven

Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×9-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper (pro tip: parchment makes cleanup a breeze!).

2. Make the Brownie Batter

In a medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter and sugar. Add the eggs and vanilla, mixing until smooth. Then, stir in the cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder until just combined. Spread this mixture evenly in your prepared pan.

3. Prepare the Cookie Dough

In another bowl, cream the softened butter with the granulated and brown sugars until fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla, mixing well. Gradually stir in the flour, baking soda, and salt. Fold in those glorious chocolate chips.

4. Layer the Cookie Dough on Top

Using your hands or a spoon, dollop the cookie dough over the brownie batter. It doesn’t need to be perfect—those little gaps let the brownie layer peek through, which is chef’s kiss.

5. Bake to Perfection

Pop the pan in the oven and bake for 30–35 minutes. The edges should be set, but the center can be slightly gooey (because gooey = delicious). Let the brookies cool completely before slicing. Yes, I know waiting is torture, but trust me—it’s worth it.

Notes

  • Room temperature ingredients: For the cookie dough, make sure your butter and egg aren’t straight from the fridge. It helps everything mix more smoothly.
  • Don’t overmix: Whether it’s the brownie batter or the cookie dough, mix until just combined. Overmixing can make your brookies dense.
  • Customize it: Throw in some nuts, white chocolate chips, or even peanut butter swirls. Go wild!
