This Chocolate Chip Cookie Brownies recipe combines the fudgy richness of classic brownies with the chewy delight of chocolate chip cookies, creating a deliciously indulgent treat known as brookies. The brownie batter forms a dense, cocoa-flavored base topped with marbled pockets of homemade chocolate chip cookie dough, baked together to perfection for a gooey, chocolatey fusion.

Ingredients

Scale

Brownie Batter

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/3 cup cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking dish with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
  2. Make Brownie Batter: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt 1/2 cup unsalted butter. Stir in 1 cup granulated sugar, 2 eggs, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until well combined. Then sift in 1/3 cup cocoa powder, 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Mix thoroughly until a smooth, lump-free batter forms.
  3. Prepare Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough: In a separate bowl, cream together 1/2 cup softened unsalted butter, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, and 1/2 cup packed brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add 1 large egg and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, beating until evenly combined. Gradually incorporate 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon salt, mixing to form a soft dough. Fold in 1 cup chocolate chips evenly throughout the dough.
  4. Assemble Brookies: Pour the brownie batter evenly into the prepared baking dish. Drop spoonfuls of the chocolate chip cookie dough onto the brownie batter surface. Gently press and swirl the cookie dough into the brownie layer to create a marbled effect.
  5. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes. The edges should be set, while the center remains slightly gooey to retain a fudgy texture.
  6. Cool and Serve: Remove from oven and allow the brookies to cool completely in the baking dish. Once cooled, cut into squares or your desired shapes and enjoy the decadent brookie treat.

Notes

  • For best results, use room temperature eggs and butter for easier mixing and better texture.
  • Do not overbake; brookies should have a slightly gooey center to stay fudgy.
  • You can substitute chocolate chips with chunks or other mix-ins like nuts or white chocolate chips.
  • Ensure parchment paper overlaps enough to lift the brookies out easily once cooled.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
