Ingredients
Scale
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
Cookie Layer
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper or grease it lightly to prevent sticking and for easy removal of the brookies.
- Make the Brownie Layer: In a medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter, granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth. Add the cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder, stirring just until everything is combined. Spread this brownie batter evenly in the prepared baking pan.
- Make the Cookie Layer: In a separate bowl, cream the softened butter with the brown sugar and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract. Gradually mix in the flour, baking soda, and salt until just combined. Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips gently.
- Assemble the Brookies: Drop spoonfuls of the cookie dough over the brownie layer. Gently spread the cookie dough to cover most of the surface, creating an even top layer but leaving some texture variations for a beautiful finish.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Be careful not to overbake to maintain fudginess.
- Cool and Serve: Let the brookies cool completely in the pan before cutting into 16 bars. For cleaner edges, chilling before cutting is suggested.
Notes
- For extra gooey brookies, bake closer to 30 minutes rather than 35.
- Chill the brookies before cutting to achieve cleaner, neater edges.
- You can swirl the brownie and cookie batters together before baking for a beautiful marbled effect and unique flavor combination.
