Description

Brookies combine the best of both worlds — rich, fudgy brownies and chewy chocolate chip cookies in one indulgent dessert bar that’s crispy on the edges and gooey in the center.


Ingredients

  • All-Purpose Flour: 2¼ cups (divided between layers)
  • Cocoa Powder: ½ cup (for brownie layer)
  • Baking Soda: ½ tsp (for cookie layer)
  • Salt: 1 tsp (divided)
  • Unsalted Butter: 1 cup (softened, divided)
  • Granulated Sugar: 1 cup (½ cup for each layer)
  • Brown Sugar: ¾ cup (for cookie layer)
  • Eggs: 3 large (1 for cookie, 2 for brownie)
  • Vanilla Extract: 2 tsp (divided)
  • Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips: 1 cup (for cookie layer)


Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13 inch baking pan or line with parchment paper.
  2. Make Brownie Layer: In a bowl, mix ½ cup softened butter, ½ cup granulated sugar, 2 eggs, 1 tsp vanilla, ½ tsp salt, ½ cup cocoa powder, and 1 cup flour until smooth. Spread evenly in prepared pan.
  3. Make Cookie Layer: In a separate bowl, cream ½ cup butter with ½ cup granulated sugar and ¾ cup brown sugar. Add 1 egg and 1 tsp vanilla. Stir in 1¼ cups flour, ½ tsp baking soda, ½ tsp salt, and chocolate chips. Drop spoonfuls over brownie batter and gently spread.
  4. Bake: Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until cookie layer is golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with moist crumbs.
  5. Cool & Slice: Let cool completely in the pan before slicing into bars.

Notes

  • For gooier brookies, underbake slightly and cool fully before cutting.
  • Use parchment paper for easy removal and clean edges.
  • Brookies can be frozen for up to 2 months.
