Ingredients
Cookie Dough Layer
- 2 cups all purpose flour (Make sure to measure correctly to avoid dryness.)
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened (Should be at room temperature.)
- 1 cup brown sugar (Use soft brown sugar for chewiness.)
- 1/2 cup white sugar
- 1 egg
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup chocolate chips (Semi-sweet or dark chocolate.)
Brownie Batter Layer
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (Melt and cool slightly.)
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup cocoa powder, unsweetened (Dutch process for a deeper flavor.)
- 1/2 cup all purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chocolate chips or chopped chocolate (Use your preference for added richness.)
Instructions
Make the Cookie Layer
- Cream the butter and sugars until fluffy, about 1 to 2 minutes.
- Mix in the egg and vanilla until smooth.
- Add flour, baking soda, and salt, mixing just until no dry streaks remain.
- Fold in chocolate chips.
Make the Brownie Layer
- Melt butter and let it cool for a minute.
- Stir in sugar and mix well until glossy.
- Add eggs and vanilla, stirring until smooth.
- Add cocoa powder, flour, and salt, mixing until just combined.
- Stir in chocolate chips.
Assemble
- Press cookie dough into the bottom of a lined pan.
- Pour brownie batter on top and spread gently.
Bake
- Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 22 to 28 minutes for a 9×13 pan.
- Check for doneness with a toothpick; it should come out with moist crumbs.
Cool and Cut
- Let cool in the pan for at least 30 to 45 minutes, then chill for cleaner slices.
- Use a clean, warm knife for cutting.
Notes
Browkies can be stored at room temperature for 2-3 days, and they even taste better the next day. For freezing, slice and wrap individually for up to 2 months.
