Ingredients

Scale
  • For the Brownie Batter:
  • 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup (50g) brown sugar, packed
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup (90g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup (45g) unsweetened cocoa powder (Dutch-processed preferred)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup (130g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • For the Cookie Dough:
  • 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/3 cup (67g) granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup (100g) brown sugar, packed
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 1/4 cups (155g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup (130g) semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Make the Brownie Batter: In a medium bowl, whisk together melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth. Add eggs and vanilla extract, whisking until glossy and thick. Sift in flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Stir gently until just combined. Fold in chocolate chips.
  3. Make the Cookie Dough: In a separate bowl, cream together softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar with a mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy (2-3 minutes). Scrape down the bowl. Beat in egg and vanilla extract. Gradually add flour, baking soda, and salt, mixing on low just until combined. Fold in chocolate chips.
  4. Chill both doughs in the fridge for 20-30 minutes (optional but recommended for best texture).
  5. Assemble the Brookies: Use a medium cookie scoop or tablespoon to portion out the doughs. Take one scoop of brownie batter and one scoop of cookie dough, gently press them together, and roll lightly to form a ball, keeping each dough on its own side. Place on the lined baking sheet about 2 inches apart.
  6. Bake for 12-14 minutes, until edges are set and lightly golden but centers still look a bit soft. Do not overbake.
  7. Let brookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
  8. Serve warm for gooey centers or let cool completely for maximum chew. Store leftovers in an airtight container.

Notes

For best results, chill both doughs before baking to control spreading and achieve chewy edges. Don’t overmix the batters or overbake the brookies—centers should look slightly underdone when you remove them from the oven. Variations include using gluten-free flour, adding nuts, or swapping chocolate chips for peanut butter or white chocolate chips. Store in an airtight container for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
