This Brookies recipe combines the rich, fudgy texture of brownies with the classic chewiness of chocolate chip cookies in one decadent dessert. Featuring a smooth, chocolatey brownie batter layered under a soft, buttery cookie dough loaded with semi-sweet chocolate chips, these brookies are perfect for satisfying any sweet tooth with two treats in one.

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. Make the Brownie Batter: In a medium bowl, combine the melted unsalted butter and semisweet chocolate chips. Stir until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth. Add the granulated sugar, light brown sugar, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and salt, mixing well to combine. Beat in the eggs one at a time until the batter is smooth and glossy. Gently fold in the all-purpose flour until just incorporated, being careful not to overmix.
  2. Prepare the Cookie Dough: In a separate large bowl, beat the room temperature unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar together until creamy and fluffy. Add the vanilla extract and egg and mix well. In a small bowl, whisk together the salt, baking powder, baking soda, and flour. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips evenly throughout the dough.
  3. Assemble the Brookies: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line an 8×8-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 over the brownie layer, making sure to cover the surface evenly but not mixing the layers.
  4. Bake: Place the pan in the oven and bake for approximately 35-40 minutes, or until the cookie dough layer is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs but no raw batter. The layers should be set but still soft.
  5. Cool and Serve: Remove the brookies from the oven and let them cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before cutting into squares. This helps the layers set fully and makes serving easier. Enjoy your delicious brookies with a glass of milk or your favorite beverage.

Notes

  • For the best texture, use room temperature eggs and butter when preparing the cookie dough.
  • You can use either semisweet chocolate chips or roughly chopped chocolate for the brownie batter depending on your preference.
  • Do not overmix the brownie batter once the flour has been added to keep the brownies fudgy.
  • If you prefer a crispier cookie top, bake a few minutes longer but watch closely to avoid burning.
  • Store leftover brookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
