Scale
For the Brownie Layer
- 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup (40g) unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup (65g) all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
For the Cookie Layer
- 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened
- 1/3 cup (67g) granulated sugar
- 1/3 cup (67g) brown sugar, packed
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/4 cups (155g) all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup (170g) chocolate chips
Instructions
- Prepare the Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch (20x20cm) baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
- Make the Brownie Batter: In a medium bowl, whisk together melted butter and granulated sugar until smooth. Add eggs and vanilla extract, then whisk until glossy and well combined. Sift in cocoa powder, flour, and salt. Fold with a spatula just until no streaks remain. Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
- Make the Cookie Dough: In another bowl, cream together softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla. Add flour, baking soda, and salt. Mix on low just until combined, then fold in chocolate chips.
- Layer and Swirl: Drop spoonfuls of the cookie dough over the brownie layer. Gently spread or swirl the dough so both layers are visible—don’t over-mix.
- Bake: Bake for 28–32 minutes, until the cookie top is golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (but not wet batter).
- Cool and Serve: Let brookies cool completely in the pan. Use the parchment overhang to lift them out, slice into bars, and serve. Enjoy the fudgy, chewy goodness!
Notes
- For extra gooey brookies, slightly underbake them for the chewiest texture.
- Use high-quality chocolate chips for the best flavor.
- Allow brookies to cool fully before slicing for clean cuts.
- You can double the recipe for a 9×13-inch pan—just watch the bake time.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
