- For the Brownie Layer:
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
- For the Cookie Layer:
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) 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
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat & Prep: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper or grease it lightly.
- Make the Brownie Layer: In a bowl, whisk together melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Add eggs and vanilla, mixing until smooth.
- Add the Dry Ingredients: Sift in the flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder. Stir until combined, then fold in the chocolate chips. Pour the brownie batter evenly into the prepared pan.
- Make the Cookie Dough: In a separate bowl, beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until creamy. Add the egg and vanilla, mixing well.
- Add the Dry Ingredients: Stir in the flour, baking soda, and salt until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Assemble: Drop spoonfuls of the cookie dough over the brownie batter. Gently spread or flatten the dough slightly—some brownie batter should peek through.
- Bake: Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs.
- Cool & Slice: Let the brookies cool in the pan for at least 20 minutes before slicing into squares.
Notes
- For extra fudginess, slightly underbake and let them set while cooling.
- Want a crispier cookie layer? Bake for an extra 3-5 minutes.
- Gluten-free? Use a 1:1 gluten-free flour substitute.
- For extra chocolatey brookies, mix in chopped chocolate chunks instead of chips.
