Brookies
A delicious combination of fudgy brownies and chewy chocolate chip cookies in one bar.
Equipment
- 1 9-inch round cake pan greased and floured
- 1 electric mixer
- 1 Mixing Bowl large
Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
- 2 large eggs room temperature
Instructions
Preparation
- Melt butter and mix it with sugar and cocoa powder until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, followed by vanilla extract. Incorporate the dry ingredients gently, ensuring a thick, smooth batter.
- Cream together butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Add in eggs and vanilla, mixing thoroughly. Gradually mix in flour, baking soda, and salt, followed by chocolate chips. The dough should be soft but not sticky.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spread the brownie batter into a greased pan, then gently layer the cookie dough on top. Bake for 30-35 minutes until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out mostly clean.
Serving
- Allow the brookies to cool before slicing. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delightful dessert experience.
Storage
- Store brookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or refrigerate for up to one week. For longer storage, freeze them in a single layer, then transfer to a freezer-safe bag.
Notes
Pro Tips: Use room temperature ingredients for optimal mixing. Avoid overmixing to preserve texture. Underbake slightly for a fudgier result. Let cool completely before slicing.
Ingredient Substitutions: Use dark chocolate chunks or add nuts like walnuts or pecans for variation. Substitute with gluten-free flour for a gluten-free option.
How to Serve: Pair with vanilla ice cream for a classic dessert combo. Serve at gatherings or as a special treat.
Storage & Freshness: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. Refrigerate for longer freshness.
Make-Ahead Tips: Prepare and freeze the dough components separately, then bake fresh when needed.
