Ingredients
For the Brownie Layer:
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup all purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
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 pure vanilla extract
- 1 1/4 cups all purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup semi sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
1.Prepare Your Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
2.Make the Brownie Layer: In a medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter and granulated sugar until smooth. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, and whisk until combined. Sift in the cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder. Mix until just combined. Spread the brownie batter evenly into the prepared pan, creating the first layer.
3.Make the Cookie Layer: In a large bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to cream the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until fully incorporated. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips. Drop spoonfuls of the cookie dough over the brownie batter and gently spread it out to create an even layer.
4.Bake the Brookies: Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until the cookie layer is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Remove from the oven and let cool completely in the pan.
5.Slice and Serve: Use the parchment paper overhang to lift the brookies out of the pan. Slice into squares or rectangles and serve. Enjoy.
Notes
- Storage: Store brookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
- Freezing: Wrap individual brookie squares in plastic wrap and store in a freezer safe bag for up to 3 months. Thaw at room temperature before serving.
- Customizations: Add chopped nuts, caramel bits, or even a sprinkle of sea salt for extra flavor.
- Pan Size: For thinner brookies, use a 9×13-inch pan and reduce the baking time slightly.
