So to make this recipe amazingly delicious, but still quick and easy, I use a boxed brownie mix and then top it with a one-bowl easy chocolate chip cookie dough. If you have a favorite basic brownie recipe, you can certainly sub homemade here. You a 9 x 13 pan full of soft and fudgy brownies layered with buttery chewy chocolate chip cookie. Perfection!
Make your Brookie Brownie Layer
Make your brownies according to the package instructions. I use Ghirardelli brand, and if you look on the back of the box, some brownies have instructions for a 9×13 pan, and some say the largest pan option is 8×8 or 9×9. Try to find one that is made for a smaller pan (the 8×8 or 9×9). You will bake them in a 9×13, thus creating a thinner brownie layer that can complete cooking in the same time as the cookie layer. If you get the larger box, your brownies might be too thick and be undercooked. If all you can find is the larger kind, then maybe make 2 or use half the batter in an extra small pan for a snack 🙂
Make your Brookie Cookie Layer
For the cookie portion of this recipe, I use my Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe because it uses melted butter, so you can mix the dough with a spoon right in that empty brownie batter bowl. Also 1 batch is the perfect amount for my 9×13 pan.
Bake Your Brookies
It bakes for about 30 minutes and that cookie gets all soft and chewy and the brownie nice and gooey.
You can eat these warm with ice cream on top, but personally I like them cooled if I’m just picking them up to eat.
Layers of flavor give you the best of both worlds!
Pair them with a cold glass of milk and you’ll keep going back for more and more. This recipe is easy and definitely a family favorite at our house. Let me know how you like them!
