Scale
Brownie Batter

- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 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
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking dish with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make removal easier.
- Make Brownie Batter: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt 1/2 cup unsalted butter. Stir in 1 cup granulated sugar, 2 large eggs, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until fully combined.
- Add Dry Ingredients to Brownie Batter: Sift in 1/3 cup cocoa powder, 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Mix the batter until smooth and free of lumps.
- Cream Butter and Sugars for Cookie Dough: In a separate bowl, cream together 1/2 cup softened unsalted butter, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, and 1/2 cup packed brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add Egg and Vanilla to Cookie Dough: Beat in 1 large egg and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract into the creamed butter and sugars, mixing well.
- Incorporate Dry Ingredients into Cookie Dough: Gradually add 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Mix until a soft cookie dough forms.
- Fold in Chocolate Chips: Stir in 1 cup chocolate chips evenly throughout the cookie dough.
- Assemble the Brookies: Pour the brownie batter evenly into the prepared baking dish.
- Add Cookie Dough on Top: Drop spoonfuls of chocolate chip cookie dough onto the brownie batter surface, spacing them evenly.
- Create Marbled Effect: Gently press and swirl the cookie dough into the brownie batter using a spatula or knife to create a marbled pattern.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, until the edges are set and the center remains slightly gooey for a fudgy texture.
- Cool and Serve: Remove from oven and let the brookies cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares. Serve and enjoy the delicious fusion of brownies and cookies.
Notes
- Use a toothpick to check doneness; it should come out with a few moist crumbs, not wet batter.
- For easier cutting, chill the brookies after cooling to firm them up.
- Substitute chocolate chips with nuts or other mix-ins as desired.
- Ensure ingredients are at room temperature for best mixing results.
- Store brookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
