Description
The Best Fudgy Chewy Brookies are a decadent dessert combining rich, fudgy brownies with soft, buttery chocolate chip cookies in one indulgent bar. Perfectly chewy, sweet, and satisfying, they’re ideal for bake sales, parties, or a cozy treat at home.
Ingredients
- For the brownie layer:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- For the cookie layer:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 3/4 cup chocolate chips or chunks
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
- Make the brownie layer: In a bowl, whisk melted butter, sugars, eggs, and vanilla until smooth. Stir in cocoa powder, flour, salt, and chocolate chips. Spread evenly in the prepared pan.
- Make the cookie layer: In another bowl, cream softened butter and sugars until light. Beat in egg and vanilla, then stir in flour, baking soda, salt, and chocolate chips.
- Drop spoonfuls of cookie dough over the brownie layer and gently press to spread. It’s okay if some brownie shows through.
- Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out with moist crumbs.
- Cool completely in the pan before slicing into bars.
Notes
- Use melted butter and minimal flour for a fudgy brownie texture.
- Top with sea salt before baking for an elevated flavor.
- Swirl in peanut butter or Nutella for extra richness.
- Brookies freeze well; wrap individually and store for up to 2 months.
- For thicker bars, bake in an 8×8 or 9×9 pan and adjust baking time.
