  • Total Time: 1 hour
  • Yield: 12–16 squares (depending on size) 1x

Ingredients

Scale

For the Brownie Layer:

  • 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 3/4 cup (135g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup (100g) white sugar
  • 1/2 cup (100g) brown sugar, packed
  • 1/3 cup (35g) cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup (65g) all-purpose flour

For the Cookie Layer:

  • 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup (100g) white sugar
  • 1/4 cup (50g) brown sugar, packed
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 1/3 cups (160g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup (170g) semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×13-inch baking dish with parchment paper or grease it lightly.

  2. Prepare the Brownie Layer: Melt butter and mix in the cocoa powder. Whisk in both sugars and salt. Add the eggs and vanilla, mixing until smooth. Stir in the flour until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips. Spread the brownie batter evenly in the prepared pan.

  3. Prepare the Cookie Layer: Cream together the softened butter, sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract. Add salt, baking powder, and baking soda, and mix. Gradually stir in the flour, then fold in the chocolate chips.

  4. Assemble the Brookies: Drop spoonfuls of the cookie dough on top of the brownie batter, leaving some brownie layerexposed. Gently spread the cookie dough to cover most of the brownie layer.

  5. Bake: Bake for 20 minutes covered with foil. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15–20 minutes, until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

  6. Cool and Serve: Let the brookies cool before slicing them into squares and serving.

Notes

  • For a chewier texture, slightly underbake the brookies so that the center remains fudgy.
  • Add-ins like chopped nuts or caramel bits can elevate the flavor.
  • For a gluten-free version, use a gluten-free flour blend.
