Instructions
-
Prepare the Baking Pan:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal. -
Make the Brownie Layer:
- In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, sugar, cocoa powder, and salt until smooth.
- Stir in the vanilla extract and eggs, mixing well after each addition.
- Fold in the flour until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Spread the brownie batter evenly into the prepared baking pan.
-
Make the Cookie Layer:
- In another mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
- Add the vanilla extract and egg, mixing until smooth.
- Gradually add the flour, baking soda, and salt until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Drop spoonfuls of the cookie dough evenly over the brownie batter, then carefully spread it out to create an even layer.
-
Bake:
Place the baking pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the cookie layer is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with only a few moist crumbs. -
Cool and Serve:
Let the brookies cool completely in the pan before slicing them into bars. Enjoy!
Notes
- Avoid Overmixing: Overmixing the batters can make the brookies dense. Stir until ingredients are just combined.
- Storage: Store brookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week or freeze individually wrapped pieces for up to three months.
- Variations: Add a handful of chopped nuts or swirl in caramel for extra flavor.
