Instructions

📝 Instructions:

Step 1: Prepare Brownie Layer

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9×13-inch pan with parchment paper.
Melt butter and stir in sugar until combined. Let cool slightly.
Beat in eggs and vanilla extract.
Sift together flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder; fold into wet mixture until smooth.
Spread brownie batter evenly in the prepared pan.

Step 2: Prepare Cookie Layer

In a large bowl, cream butter with brown and granulated sugar until fluffy.
Beat in eggs and vanilla extract.
Mix in flour, baking soda, and salt until just combined.
Fold in chocolate chips.

Step 3: Assemble Brookies

Drop cookie dough over the brownie layer in spoonfuls. Gently spread or leave in chunks for a marbled effect.
Bake for 30–35 minutes, until edges are set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.

Step 4: Cool & Serve

Let brookies cool completely in the pan before slicing into squares or bars.
Enjoy slightly warm for extra gooeyness or at room temperature for chewy bites.

Notes

Extra Fudgy: Use half the cocoa powder and half brownie mix for an ultra-rich texture.
Brookie Bites: Scoop dough into mini muffin tins for bite-sized treats.
