Instructions
👨🍳 Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch pan with parchment.
Make brownie batter: Mix melted butter and sugar. Add eggs, vanilla, cocoa, flour, salt, and baking powder. Stir until smooth.
Make cookie dough: Cream butter and sugars. Add egg and vanilla. Mix in flour, baking soda, salt, and chocolate chips.
Layer brownie batter evenly into the pan.
Drop cookie dough spoonfuls over the brownie layer. Gently swirl or press in.
Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until a toothpick in the brownie comes out with moist crumbs.
Cool in the pan for 15–20 minutes before slicing.
Notes
📝 Notes
Don’t overbake! Slight jiggle is good—brookies set as they cool.
Store in an airtight container at room temp for 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
For vegan brookies: Use flax eggs and dairy-free butter.
Add a pinch of sea salt on top before baking for flavor contrast.
