Ingredients
Scale
For the Brownie Layer:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
For the Cookie Layer:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/4 cup granulated 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
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking pan and line it with parchment paper.
- Prepare the Brownie Batter:
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter and sugar.
- Add eggs and vanilla, stirring until combined.
- Sift in cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder. Stir until the mixture is just combined. Avoid overmixing.
- Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
- Prepare the Cookie Dough:
- In another bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract, and mix until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the butter mixture.
- Stir in the chocolate chips.
- Assemble the Brookies:
- Drop spoonfuls of the cookie dough onto the brownie batter. Spread the dough gently with a spatula, allowing some brownie to show through.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Cool and Serve:
- Let the brookies cool in the pan for 15-20 minutes. For clean cuts, let them cool completely before slicing into squares.
Notes
Don’t Overmix: Overmixing the brownie batter or cookie dough can make the brookies dense. Mix just until ingredients are combined.
