Ingredients
- 3 large eggs
- 2 cups (400g / 14 ounces) granulated sugar
- 1 cup (200g / 7 ounces) packed brown sugar
- 2 cups (255g / 9 ounces) all-purpose flour
- 1 cup (175g / 6.2 ounces) semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup (230g / 8 ounces) unsalted butter, softened
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- ⅓ cup (40g / 1.4 ounces) unsweetened cocoa powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon baking powder
- ¾ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Oven Preparation: Preheat oven to 350F (175C) and line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper or grease lightly.
- Brownie Base Creation: Whisk melted butter with sugar, then integrate eggs and vanilla extract until smooth, followed by gradually sifting cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder to form a consistent batter.
- Cookie Layer Development: Cream softened butter with brown and granulated sugars until fluffy, then mix in egg and vanilla extract. Fold in flour, baking soda, and salt until just combined, then gently fold in chocolate chips.
- Layering and Assembly: Pour brownie mixture into prepared pan, then delicately drop spoonfuls of cookie dough across the surface, using a spatula to spread evenly and allow some brownie layer to show through.
- Baking Process: Bake for 25-30 minutes, monitoring for a golden-brown top and a toothpick that emerges with minimal moist crumbs.
- Cooling and Serving: Allow brookies to rest in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack for complete cooling. Slice into square servings and enjoy the indulgent fusion of brownie and cookie textures.
Notes
Manage Butter Temperature: Ensure butter is at the right consistency for both brownie and cookie layers – softened for cookie dough, fully melted for brownie base to achieve perfect texture and blending.
Avoid Overmixing Batter: Stir dry ingredients into wet mixtures just until combined, preventing tough and dense brookies by stopping when no flour streaks remain visible.
Control Baking Time Precisely: Watch brookies closely during final minutes of baking; slight underbaking creates fudgy, chewy center while preventing dry, crumbly texture.
Customize Mix-Ins Creatively: Experiment with chocolate chip varieties like dark, milk, or white chocolate, or add nuts, dried fruits, or caramel bits to personalize brookie flavor profile.
