Brownie Batter
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
Cookie Dough
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- Prepare Brownie Batter: In a mixing bowl, combine melted butter and sugar until smooth. Beat in eggs and vanilla extract. In a separate bowl, whisk together cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder. Gradually add dry ingredients to wet, mixing until just combined.
- Prepare Cookie Dough: In another bowl, cream together softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in egg and vanilla extract. In a separate bowl, whisk flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually combine dry ingredients with wet until just mixed, then fold in chocolate chips.
- Layer Batters: Lightly grease a 9×9-inch baking pan. Spread the brownie batter evenly on the bottom. Gently spoon the cookie dough over the brownie layer, spreading carefully to cover the entire surface.
- Bake: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the layered batter for 30-35 minutes, or until the edges are set and the top is lightly golden. A toothpick inserted near the center should come out with a few moist crumbs but no wet batter.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the brookies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before cutting into squares. Enjoy the rich, fudgy brownie and chewy cookie combination!
Notes
- Use room temperature ingredients for better batter consistency.
- Do not overbake to maintain fudgy texture.
- For variation, add nuts or different chocolate chips to the cookie dough.
- You can line the baking pan with parchment paper for easier removal.
- Store brookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
