Delicious Brookies combine the rich, fudgy texture of brownies with the classic chewiness of chocolate chip cookies in one irresistible layered bar. Perfectly baked in a 9×13 pan, these bars feature a dense brownie layer topped with a generous dollop of chocolate chip cookie dough and optional milk chocolate chunks for extra indulgence.

Ingredients

Scale

Brownie Layer

  • 3/4 cup Butter (softened)
  • 1 cup Sugar
  • 1/3 cup Brown Sugar
  • 2 large Eggs
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 1/2 cup Unsweetened Cocoa Powder

Chocolate Chip Cookie Layer

  • 1/2 cup Butter (softened)
  • 3/4 cup Brown Sugar
  • 1/4 cup Sugar
  • 1 large Egg
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 1 1/4 cups All-purpose Flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon Baking Soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 cup Chocolate Chips
  • Milk chocolate chunks (optional, for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). Prepare a 9×13-inch aluminum baking pan; avoid glass pans to ensure even baking and prevent hard edges.
  2. Make Brownie Batter: In a large mixing bowl, cream together 3/4 cup softened butter, 1 cup sugar, and 1/3 cup brown sugar for 3-4 minutes until the mixture is light and fluffy. Add 2 eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition. Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  3. Combine Dry Ingredients for Brownie: Sift or whisk together 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Gradually incorporate these into the butter mixture until just combined. Fold in 1/2 cup chocolate chips if using. Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan.
  4. Make Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough: In another large bowl, cream 1/2 cup softened butter with 3/4 cup brown sugar and 1/4 cup sugar for 3-4 minutes. Add 1 large egg and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, mixing for an additional minute.
  5. Combine Dry Ingredients for Cookie Dough: Mix 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Gradually stir these into the creamed butter mixture until combined. Fold in 1 cup chocolate chips.
  6. Assemble Brookies: Drop spoonfuls of the chocolate chip cookie dough evenly over the brownie batter layer, covering as much surface as possible.
  7. Bake: Bake for 28 to 32 minutes until the edges of the bars begin to set up. If using milk chocolate chunks, sprinkle them on top during the last 5 minutes of baking.
  8. Cool and Slice: Remove from oven and allow to cool completely in the pan. For easier cutting, place the baked bars in the freezer for 20-30 minutes before slicing into bars.

Notes

  • DO NOT use a glass pan as it causes longer baking time, resulting in hard edges and an underbaked center.
  • For best texture, use an aluminum pan for baking.
  • Cooling completely before slicing ensures clean cuts and ideal texture.
  • Freezing before slicing makes it easier to cut neat bars.
