Ingredients

Scale

Brownie Batter

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted (113g)
  • 3/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips or roughly chopped chocolate
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar (100g)
  • 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar (100g)
  • 1/3 cup cocoa powder (35g)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (5ml)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (65g)

Cookie Dough

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature (113g)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar (100g)
  • 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar (50g)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour (160g)
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Brownie Batter: In a medium bowl, melt the unsalted butter and combine it with the semisweet chocolate chips until smooth. Stir in the granulated sugar, light brown sugar, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and salt. Beat in the eggs one at a time until fully incorporated. Gently fold in the all-purpose flour until just combined, ensuring not to overmix.
  2. Make the Cookie Dough: In a large bowl, cream together the room temperature unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add the vanilla extract and the egg, beating until smooth. In a separate bowl, whisk together the salt, baking powder, baking soda, and all-purpose flour. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips.
  3. Assemble the Brookies: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease or line a 9×9 inch baking pan with parchment paper. Spread the prepared brownie batter evenly into the bottom of the pan. Carefully dollop and spread the cookie dough evenly over the brownie layer to create a distinct top layer.
  4. Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the cookie dough layer is golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs but no raw batter. Allow the brookies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before cutting into squares.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Once cooled, cut the brookies into squares and serve as a delightful dessert or snack. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for longer freshness.

Notes

  • Make sure the butter for cookie dough is softened to room temperature for easier mixing.
  • Do not overmix the batters to keep the brookies tender and moist.
  • You can use a dark or light baking pan; just be sure to adjust baking time if needed.
  • Allow the brookies to cool completely before cutting to ensure clean slices.
  • Feel free to substitute semisweet chocolate chips with milk or dark chocolate chips based on preference.
