Ingredients

Scale

Brownie Batter

  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Cookie Dough

  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Prepare Brownie Batter: In a large mixing bowl, combine melted butter and granulated sugar, stirring well. Add eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract. In a separate bowl, sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until smooth and combined.
  2. Prepare Cookie Dough: In another bowl, cream together softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each. Stir in vanilla extract. In a separate bowl, mix flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually blend the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Fold in chocolate chips evenly.
  3. Layer the Batters: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13 inch baking pan. Spread the brownie batter evenly in the pan, followed by an even layer of cookie dough on top. Use a knife or skewer to gently swirl the two batters together creating a marbled effect if desired.
  4. Bake Until Set: Bake in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs, but no wet batter. Remove from oven and allow to cool completely before slicing into squares.

Notes

  • Ensure both batters are prepared separately to maintain distinct flavors and textures.
  • You can create a marbled effect by swirling the batters gently before baking.
  • Allow brookies to cool completely to make slicing easier and cleaner.
  • Store brookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for longer freshness.
