Ingredients

Scale

For the Brownie Layer:

1 box brownie mix (plus ingredients called for on the box, such as eggs, oil, and water)

For the Cookie Layer:

1 batch pre-made cookie dough (store-bought or homemade)
- If homemade:
  - 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
  - ½ teaspoon baking soda
  - ½ teaspoon salt
  - ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  - ½ cup granulated sugar
  - ½ cup brown sugar, packed
  - 1 large egg
  - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  - 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2: Prepare the Brownie Batter

In a large bowl, prepare the brownie mix according to the package instructions. Set aside.

Step 3: Prepare the Cookie Dough (if homemade)

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
In a separate bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla extract, and mix until combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.

Step 4: Assemble the Brookies

Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.
Drop small spoonfuls of cookie dough on top of the brownie batter. Use your fingers or a spatula to gently press the dough into the brownie batter.

Step 5: Bake

Bake in the preheated oven for 30–35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean (a few crumbs are fine for a gooey texture).

Step 6: Cool and Serve

Let the brookies cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares. Serve as-is, or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an indulgent treat.

Notes

Customizations: Add nuts, caramel drizzle, or peanut butter chips for extra flavor.
Storage: Store brookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
Gluten-Free Option: Use gluten-free brownie mix and cookie dough.
