Ingredients

Scale

For the Brownie Layer:

½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
¾ cup granulated sugar
¼ cup brown sugar, packed
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ cup all-purpose flour
⅓ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon baking powder

For the Cookie Layer:

½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
½ cup brown sugar, packed
¼ cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
¾ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

1. Preheat & Prepare the Pan:
  - Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  - Line an 8×8-inch (20×20 cm) baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
2. Make the Brownie Batter:
  - In a mixing bowl, whisk together melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar.
  - Add eggs and vanilla extract, whisking until smooth.
  - Sift in flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder. Fold until just combined.
  - Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly.
3. Make the Cookie Dough:
  - In another mixing bowl, cream together softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  - Beat in the egg and vanilla extract.
  - In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually mix into the wet ingredients.
  - Fold in the chocolate chips.
4. Assemble the Brookies:
  - Drop spoonfuls of cookie dough over the brownie batter, gently pressing it down but not fully covering the brownie layer.
5. Bake:
  - Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the cookie layer is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  - Allow to cool completely before slicing into squares.
6. Serve & Enjoy:
  - Cut into 9 or 12 squares and enjoy with a glass of milk!

Notes

For an extra chocolatey twist, add a handful of chocolate chips to the brownie layer.
If you prefer a crispier texture, bake for an additional 5 minutes.
Store brookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent treat!
