Scale
For the brownie layer:
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
For the cookie layer:
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1/3 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
- Make the brownie batter: In a medium bowl, whisk together melted butter and sugar. Add eggs and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth. Sift in the cocoa powder, flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix until just combined. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
- Prepare the cookie dough: In a separate bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract. Gradually add the flour, baking soda, and salt, mixing until combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Assemble the layers: Drop spoonfuls of cookie dough over the brownie batter. Gently spread or press the dough into an even layer, covering most of the brownie batter.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with only a few moist crumbs (not wet batter).
- Cool and serve: Let the brookies cool completely in the pan before lifting them out using the parchment paper. Cut into squares and serve.
Notes
- For a fudgier texture, slightly underbake the brookies.
- Add nuts, caramel bits, or other mix-ins to customize your dessert.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
