Ingredients
Scale
Brownie Base:
- 1/2 cup (113 grams) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup (200 grams) granulated sugar
- 1/3 cup (33 grams) unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup (63 grams) all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Cookie Layer:
- 1/2 cup (113 grams) unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup (100 grams) brown sugar
- 1/4 cup (50 grams) granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/4 cups (156 grams) all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Chocolate Addition:
- 1 cup (170 grams) chocolate chips
Instructions
- Prepare the baking vessel by lining a 9×9-inch pan with parchment paper, allowing slight overhang for easy removal. Set oven temperature to 350°F (175°C).
- Create the rich brownie foundation by whisking melted butter with cocoa powder and sugar until smooth and glossy. Incorporate eggs and vanilla, blending thoroughly. Gently fold in flour and salt, maintaining a silky texture.
- Distribute the brownie mixture evenly across the prepared pan, ensuring uniform coverage and smooth surface.
- For the cookie layer, cream butter with brown and white sugars until light and fluffy. Introduce egg and vanilla, mixing until well integrated.
- Gradually incorporate flour, baking soda, and salt into the cookie mixture. Fold chocolate chips throughout the dough, distributing them evenly.
- Carefully spread the cookie dough atop the brownie layer, creating a harmonious two-layer dessert.
- Slide the pan into the preheated oven, baking for 30-35 minutes. Check doneness by inserting a toothpick – it should emerge with slight, moist crumbs.
- Remove from oven and allow to cool completely in the pan. Use parchment paper edges to lift and transfer to a cutting surface.
- Slice into squares, revealing the decadent marbled layers of brownie and cookie.
Notes
- Experiment with different chocolate types like dark, milk, or white chocolate chips to customize the flavor profile and add a unique twist.
- For gluten-free diets, substitute all-purpose flour with almond flour or a gluten-free blend to make the brookies accessible to more people.
- Chill the batter before baking to prevent excessive spreading and maintain distinct brownie and cookie layers, ensuring a more defined texture.
- Room temperature ingredients blend more smoothly, creating a more uniform and tender brookie with a consistent, rich mouthfeel.
