Description
Indulgent brookies that combine ultra-fudgy brownies with soft, brown-butter chocolate chip cookies in one delicious bar.
Ingredients
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (for brownies)
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (for brownies)
- 1/4 cup Dutch-processed cocoa powder
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar (for brownies)
- 2 large eggs (for brownies)
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (for brownies)
- 1/4 tsp salt (for brownies)
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (for cookies, to brown)
- 1/2 cup dark brown sugar
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for cookies)
- 1 large egg (for cookies)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour (for cookies)
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt (for cookies)
- 3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (for cookies)
Instructions
- Melt butter and chocolate chips together for the brownie layer, stir in cocoa powder.
- In a separate bowl, whisk eggs and sugar until light and fluffy, then combine with chocolate mixture.
- Fold in flour and salt until just combined; set brownie batter aside.
- Brown the butter for cookies until amber and fragrant; cool slightly until ~90g remain.
- Whisk sugars into browned butter, then add egg and vanilla extract.
- Fold in flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and chocolate chips until just mixed.
- Preheat oven to 175°C (350°F) and line an 8″ square baking pan with parchment paper; butter it lightly.
- Pour half of the brownie batter into the pan and spread evenly.
- Flatten chunks of cookie dough and lay about ⅔ of it over the brownie layer.
- Pour remaining brownie batter on top, then scatter remaining cookie dough for a marbled effect.
- Bake for 40–45 minutes, until edges are set and center is slightly wobbly.
- Cool completely in the pan before cutting into bars.
Notes
- Don’t overmix the batters to maintain fudginess and tenderness.
- Brown butter ahead of time to speed up the process.
- Bars can be frozen for up to a month for longer storage.
- Use room-temperature eggs for best texture results.
