These fudgy and chewy brookies combine rich, dense brownie with soft, gooey chocolate chip cookie in one ultimate dessert bar. Perfect for when you can’t choose between a brownie or cookie, this easy, indulgent treat is loaded with chocolate and bakes up perfectly every time.

Ingredients

  • For the Brownie Layer:
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/3 cup cocoa powder
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips or chunks
  • 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 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 3/4 cup chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a square baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. Make the brownie layer: Melt the butter, then stir in granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla. Mix in cocoa powder, flour, and salt until just combined. Fold in chocolate chunks. Spread into the pan evenly.
  3. Make the cookie layer: Cream softened butter with brown sugar and granulated sugar until fluffy. Add egg and vanilla, then mix in flour, baking soda, salt, and chocolate chips.
  4. Drop spoonfuls of cookie dough over the brownie batter. Gently spread to cover but don’t fully mix.
  5. Bake for 25–30 minutes, until the cookie top is golden and a toothpick inserted comes out with moist crumbs.
  6. Let cool in the pan for 15–20 minutes before slicing into squares. Serve slightly warm for gooey chocolate.

Notes

  • Add peanut butter or white chocolate chips for variety.
  • Swirl Nutella or caramel into the brownie batter before baking for extra indulgence.
  • Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor and texture.
  • A 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well for a gluten-free version.
  • Brookies firm up as they cool and become chewier the next day.
