How to make Brookies
Ingredients
For the Brownie Layer:
- 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter, melted
- 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup (100g) light brown sugar, packed
- 1/3 cup (35g) unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup (65g) all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup (130g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
For the Cookie Layer:
- 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup (50g) light brown sugar, packed
- 1 large egg + 1 egg yolk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/3 cups (160g) all-purpose flour
- 1 cup (170g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×13-inch baking dish with parchment paper or foil for easy removal later.
- Make the Brownie Batter:
- In a large bowl, melt the butter and stir in the cocoa powder until smooth.
- Add both sugars and salt, mixing until well combined.
- Incorporate the eggs and vanilla extract, whisking until fully combined.
- Fold in the flour and mix until just combined. Finally, add in the chocolate chips.
- Prepare the Cookie Dough:
- In another bowl, cream together the room-temperature butter with both sugars until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Mix in the baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the flour and mix until just combined, then fold in the chocolate chips.
- Assemble the Brookies:
- Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it into an even layer.
- Drop spoonfuls of cookie dough over the brownie layer. It’s okay if some brownie batter is visible; it will create a nice marbled effect.
- Bake:
- Cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Then remove the foil and bake for an additional 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean.
- Cool and Serve:
- Allow brookies to cool completely in the pan before lifting them out using the parchment paper. Cut into squares and serve warm or at room temperature. For an extra treat, serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or drizzle with hot fudge.
Tips for Best Results:
- Use Quality Ingredients: High-quality cocoa powder and chocolate chips enhance flavor significantly.
- Do Not Overmix: For tender brookies, avoid overmixing both batters.
- Cooling Time: Let them cool completely before slicing; they will be too soft when warm.
Equipment
Baking Dish: 9×13 inch pan recommended.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do you know they are done?
Due to the dual-batter nature of brookies, baking time may vary. Look for a set edge and a slightly soft center. A skewer inserted should come out with a few moist crumbs.
How long do they last?
Brookies can be stored in an airtight container for up to a week. For longer storage, freeze them and enjoy them later!
