Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Brownie Batter
- Preheat oven to 175°C (350°F). Line an 8×8-inch (20×20 cm) baking pan with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, whisk together melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth.
- Add eggs and vanilla extract and mix well.
- Sift in flour, cocoa powder, and salt, and fold until combined.
- Stir in chocolate chips, then pour the batter evenly into the prepared pan.
Step 2: Prepare the Cookie Dough
- In a separate bowl, beat together softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until creamy.
- Add egg and vanilla extract, and mix until combined.
- Sift in flour, baking soda, and salt, and fold until just combined.
- Stir in chocolate chips.
Step 3: Assemble the Brookies
- Using a spoon, drop dollops of cookie dough over the brownie batter.
- Gently spread or press the cookie dough down slightly, but don’t fully mix.
Step 4: Bake & Cool
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the cookie layer is golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with moist crumbs (not wet batter).
- Let cool completely before slicing into bars.

Tips for Perfect Brookies
- Don’t overbake! Brookies should be set but still slightly soft in the center for a gooey texture.
- Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor.
- Chill before cutting for cleaner slices.
- For extra fudginess, slightly underbake the brownie layer and let it firm up as it cools.
- Customize it! Try adding nuts, white chocolate chips, or a caramel drizzle.
