- 200g granulated sugar
- 150g brown sugar
- 2 large eggs (100g)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (5ml)
- 110g all-purpose flour
- 50g unsweetened cocoa powder

Cookie Layer:

- 1 large egg (50g)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (5ml)
- 180g all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon baking soda (2g)
- ¼ teaspoon salt (1g)
- 100g semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
Step 1: Prep & Preheat
- Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F).
- Line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper and lightly grease it.
Step 2: Make the Brownie Layer
- In a bowl, whisk together melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth.
- Add the eggs and vanilla extract, whisking until combined.
- Sift in flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder, then fold until just combined.
- Stir in the chocolate chips, then pour the batter into the prepared baking pan.
Step 3: Make the Cookie Layer
- In another bowl, cream together softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until fluffy.
- Mix in the egg and vanilla extract.
- Sift in flour, baking soda, and salt, then mix until just combined.
- Stir in the chocolate chips.
Step 4: Assemble & Bake
- Drop spoonfuls of cookie dough over the brownie batter, spreading it slightly but not fully covering the brownie layer (it will spread as it bakes).
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the cookie top is golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Let cool in the pan for at least 30 minutes before slicing into squares.

Tips & Tricks for Perfect Brookies
✔️ Don’t Overbake – Brookies should be slightly gooey in the center for maximum fudginess.
✔️ Use Quality Chocolate – The better the chocolate, the richer the flavor.
✔️ Chill the Dough – If you want thicker cookies, chill the cookie dough for 30 minutes before assembling.
✔️ Add Extra Toppings – Try mixing in walnuts, pecans, or peanut butter chips for extra texture.
✔️ For a Gluten-Free Version – Use a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend.
Delicious Variations to Try
???? Triple Chocolate Brookies – Use a mix of milk, dark, and white chocolate chips.

☕ Mocha Brookies – Add 1 teaspoon espresso powder to the brownie batter for a coffee kick.
