Description
These easy brookies combine a rich, fudgy brownie base with a soft and chewy chocolate chip cookie layer. A perfect indulgent dessert that delivers the best of both worlds in every bite.
Ingredients
¾ cup (170g) unsalted butter, softened
¾ cup (165g) packed light brown sugar
¼ cup + 2 tablespoons (60g) granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 large egg yolk
1 tablespoon (15ml) pure vanilla extract
1 ¾ cups + 2 tablespoons (254g) all-purpose flour
¾ teaspoon salt
¼ + 1/8 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup (180g) chocolate chips
6 ounces dark chocolate, melted
¾ cup (170g) unsalted butter, melted
1 ½ cups (285g) granulated sugar
3 large eggs
1 large egg yolk
1 tablespoon (15ml) pure vanilla extract
¾ cup (105g) all-purpose flour
¾ cup (84g) cocoa powder, sifted
1 teaspoon salt
¾ teaspoon baking powder
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and prepare a 9×13-inch pan with grease and parchment paper.
- In a bowl, beat softened butter with brown sugar and granulated sugar until creamy. Mix in the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla extract.
- In another bowl, combine flour, salt, and baking soda. Gradually add to the wet mixture, then fold in chocolate chips to form the cookie dough. Set aside.
- Melt the dark chocolate and let it cool slightly. In a separate bowl, mix melted butter with granulated sugar.
- Add eggs and egg yolk to the butter mixture and beat until fluffy. Stir in vanilla and melted chocolate.
- Fold in flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder until just combined to make the brownie batter.
- Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
- Flatten portions of cookie dough and layer them over the brownie batter.
- Bake for 35–40 minutes, covering with foil partway through to prevent over-browning.
- Check doneness with a toothpick; the center should be fudgy but not wet. Allow to cool before slicing and serving.
Notes
Use high-quality cocoa powder and chocolate for best flavor.
Cover with foil during baking to prevent the cookie layer from over-browning.
Let cool completely for clean slices and proper setting.
Store at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate up to 1 week.
Reheat in the microwave for a warm, gooey texture.
Freeze in layers separated by parchment paper for longer storage.
Optional additions include nuts, caramel, or white chocolate chips.
