Ingredients
Scale
For the Brownie Layer
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (melted)
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar (packed)
- 2 large eggs (room temperature)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 tsp salt
For the Cookie Layer
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened)
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar (packed)
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper or grease it lightly.
- Prepare the Brownie Layer:
- In a saucepan or microwave, melt the butter and cocoa powder together, stirring until smooth.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and eggs. Add the vanilla extract and melted chocolate mixture.
- Sift the flour and salt together, then fold into the wet ingredients until just combined. Set aside.
- Prepare the Cookie Dough:
- In a medium bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and baking soda, then fold into the wet ingredients. Stir in the chocolate chips.
- Assemble the Browkies:
- Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly.
- Drop spoonfuls of cookie dough on top of the brownie batter, and gently spread it out. Don’t worry if it’s not perfectly even—some brownie batter will show through.
- Optionally, use a knife to swirl the two batters together for a marbled effect.
- Bake the Browkies:
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (not wet batter).
- Allow the browkies to cool in the pan for at least 15 minutes before cutting them into squares.
Notes
- For a marbled look, swirl the brownie and cookie layers together with a knife before baking.
- Adjust the baking time depending on your oven and pan size. Start checking for doneness at the 30-minute mark.
- Browkies store well at room temperature for up to 3-4 days, or refrigerate them for up to a week. They also freeze well for up to 3 months.
