Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional)
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×9-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal later.
  2. In a medium saucepan, melt the 1/2 cup of unsalted butter over low heat. Once melted, remove it from the heat and stir in the granulated sugar until well combined.
  3. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix!
  5. If you’re using chocolate chips, fold them into the brownie batter now. Set the brownie batter aside while you prepare the cookie layer.
  6. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. This should take about 2-3 minutes using an electric mixer.
  7. Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture, mixing until fully incorporated.
  8. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Again, be careful not to overmix!
  9. Fold in the chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the cookie dough.
  10. Now that both layers are ready, it’s time to assemble the brookies! Start by spreading the brownie batter evenly in the bottom of the prepared baking pan. Use a spatula to smooth it out if needed.
  11. Next, take spoonfuls of the cookie dough and drop them over the brownie layer. You can use a cookie scoop or just a tablespoon. It’s okay if the brownie layer isn’t completely covered; the cookie dough will spread while baking.
  12. Once you’ve added all the cookie dough, gently spread it out a bit with the back of a spoon or spatula to create an even layer on top of the brownies.
  13. Place the assembled brookies in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes. The edges should look set, and a toothpick inserted into the center should come out with a few moist crumbs (not wet batter).
  14. Once baked, remove the pan from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10-15 minutes. This will help the brookies set up a bit more before you cut them.
  15. After cooling, carefully lift the brookies out of the pan using the parchment paper (if you used it) and transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  16. Once the brookies are completely cool, cut them into squares and serve. Enjoy your delicious homemade brookies!

Notes

  • For an extra chocolatey treat, feel free to add more chocolate chips to either layer.
