Brookies are bars made from marbled layers of fudgy brownie batter and cakey chocolate chip cookie dough. When i first heard of Brookies i thought it would be kinda gross, but it’s delicious! It is now my favorite dessert.
Recipe:
The cookie layer you will need..
- ½ cup butter, softened
- ½ cup light brown sugar
- ¼ cup white sugar
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 egg
- 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
The brownie layer you will need..
- 1 cup white sugar
- ½ cup butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 eggs
- ⅓ cup cocoa powder
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ teaspoon baking powder
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish. Beat softened butter, light brown sugar, 1/4 cup white sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract together in a large bowl until creamy. Add 1 egg; beat until light and creamy, about 2 minutes. Whisk 1 1/4 cups flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and baking soda together in a bowl. Gradually stir flour mixture into butter mixture until dough is combined. Stir chocolate chips into dough. Spread dough into the bottom of the prepared baking dish to cover completely. Stir 1 cup white sugar, melted butter, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract together in a bowl; add 2 eggs and beat well. Mix cocoa powder into butter mixture until well-combined. Stir 1/2 cup flour, baking powder, and 1/8 teaspoon salt into cocoa mixture until batter is combined. Pour brownie batter over cookie dough and spread to cover completely. Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of the brookies comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes. Cool completely before cutting into bars.
