This Brookies Cookies recipe combines the rich, fudgy texture of brownies with the classic, chewy chocolate chip cookie for a decadent treat. The recipe involves making two separate doughs—one for the brownie base and another for the chocolate chip cookie—and then joining them before baking. These brookies offer the perfect balance of chocolate intensity and cookie sweetness, ideal for dessert lovers seeking a delightful homemade treat.

Ingredients

Brownie Cookie Dough

  • 1/2 cup (113 g) unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 3/4 cup (150 g) light brown sugar, packed
  • 1/4 cup (50 g) granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/3 cup Dutch-process cocoa powder
  • 1 cup (125 g) all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled
  • 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2/3 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough

  • 2 3/4 cups (345 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (226 g) unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 3/4 cup (150 g) light brown sugar, packed
  • 2/3 cup (130 g) granulated sugar
  • 1 whole egg, room temperature
  • 1 egg yolk, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Baking Sheets: Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C). Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside to ensure non-stick baking.
  2. Make Brownie Cookie Dough: In a stand mixer bowl, cream the room temperature butter with the light brown sugar and granulated sugar on medium speed for about three minutes until the mixture becomes light and fluffy. Add one large egg and one teaspoon vanilla extract, mixing until fully incorporated. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, Dutch-process cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Sift these dry ingredients into the wet mixture and mix on low speed just until combined. Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips gently with a spatula. Set the brownie dough aside.
  3. Make Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough: In a clean stand mixer bowl, combine the cold cubed butter, packed light brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Begin mixing on low speed, then gradually increase to medium-high speed, mixing for about four minutes until pale, fluffy, and free of visible butter chunks. Add the egg and then the egg yolk one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in two teaspoons of vanilla extract. In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients in two parts, mixing on low speed until just combined. Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips.
  4. Form Cookies: Using a small cookie scoop, portion the brownie dough into balls slightly smaller than those of the chocolate chip cookie dough. Similarly, scoop the chocolate chip cookie dough into balls. Press one brownie dough ball together with one chocolate chip dough ball to form a larger combined ball.
  5. Arrange and Bake: Place the combined brookie dough balls on the prepared baking sheets about two inches apart to allow for spreading. Bake one sheet at a time in the center of the preheated oven for 8 to 9 minutes. The edges should be set, but the tops will remain slightly underbaked, ensuring a soft interior.
  6. Cool: Let the baked brookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 to 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. Allow them to cool completely for the best texture and flavor experience.

Notes

  • Make sure the butter for the brownie dough is at room temperature for easy creaming, while the butter for the cookie dough should be cold to achieve the right texture.
  • Don’t overmix the dough after adding dry ingredients to avoid tough cookies.
  • The baking time may vary slightly depending on your oven; watch for set edges and slightly underbaked centers.
  • Using parchment paper makes cleanup easier and prevents sticking.
  • Store brookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
