Ingredients
Scale
For the Brownie Dough:
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ teaspoon salt
For the Cookie Dough:
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- ½ cup brown sugar, packed
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat Oven
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
Step 2: Prepare the Brownie Dough
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter and sugar until smooth.
- Add the eggs and vanilla extract, and whisk until combined.
- Stir in the cocoa powder, flour, and salt until a thick brownie dough forms. Set aside.
Step 3: Prepare the Cookie Dough
- In a large bowl, cream the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract, and mix until combined.
- Gradually mix in the flour, baking soda, and salt. Fold in the chocolate chips.
Step 4: Assemble the Brookie Cookies
- Scoop 1 tablespoon of brownie dough and 1 tablespoon of cookie dough. Gently press the two doughs together and roll into a ball.
- Place the dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Step 5: Bake
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers look slightly underbaked (they will continue to cook as they cool).
Step 6: Cool and Serve
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- Customizations: Add white chocolate chips, nuts, or caramel bits for extra flavor.
