Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/3 cup (40g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup (65g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup (150g) brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/4 cups (160g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (175g) semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. 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. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter and sugar until smooth. Add the eggs and vanilla, whisking until combined. Sift the cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder into the wet ingredients. Stir until just combined—don’t overmix! Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
  3. In a separate bowl, cream the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy (about 2 minutes). Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until fully incorporated. Gradually add the flour, baking soda, and salt, mixing until a soft dough forms. Finally, fold in the chocolate chips.
  4. Drop spoonfuls of the cookie dough over the brownie batter in the pan. Use a spatula or your hands to gently spread the cookie dough into an even layer. It’s okay if some brownie batter peeks through—it’ll add to the charm!
  5. Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the brownie layer comes out with a few moist crumbs. The cookie layer should be golden brown.
  6. Let the brookies cool in the pan for at least 30 minutes before lifting them out using the parchment paper overhang. Slice into squares and enjoy!

Notes

[‘Don’t overmix the brownie batter to avoid a dense texture.’, ‘Ensure butter and egg for the cookie layer are at room temperature for a smooth dough.’, ‘Use high-quality chocolate chips and real vanilla extract for better flavor.’, ‘Cover the pan with foil during the last 10 minutes of baking if the edges bake faster than the center.’, ‘Refrigerate cooled brookies for an hour before slicing for a firmer texture.’]
