Ingredients
Brownie Layer
- ½ cup butter, melted
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 eggs
- ⅓ cup cocoa powder
- ½ cup flour
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ¼ tsp salt
Cookie Layer
- ½ cup butter, softened
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ¼ cup sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1¼ cups flour
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ½ cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a baking pan to prepare for the layers.
- Make Brownie Batter: In a mixing bowl, combine melted butter, sugar, eggs, cocoa powder, flour, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix thoroughly until smooth. Spread this brownie batter evenly into the prepared pan.
- Prepare Cookie Dough: In a separate bowl, cream together softened butter, brown sugar, and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing well. Gradually stir in the flour and baking soda until combined, then fold in the chocolate chips.
- Combine Layers: Drop spoonfuls of the cookie dough evenly over the brownie batter layer in the pan to create a marbled top.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 30–35 minutes until the edges are set but the center remains fudgy. Avoid overbaking to maintain the chewy texture.
- Cool and Serve: Let the brookies cool completely in the pan before slicing into bars for clean cuts and perfect texture.
Notes
- Do not overbake the brookies to keep their gooey, fudgy center.
- Add walnuts or chopped nuts to the cookie layer for added crunch and flavor.
- Store brookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days to maintain freshness.
