- 50g (¼ cup) brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 80g (⅔ cup) all-purpose flour
- 30g (¼ cup) unsweetened cocoa powder

For the Cookie Layer:
- 115g (½ cup) unsalted butter, softened
- 100g (½ cup) brown sugar
- 50g (¼ cup) granulated sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 150g (1 ¼ cups) all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 120g (¾ cup) chocolate chips
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Brownie Batter
- Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Line a 9x9-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth.
- Add eggs and vanilla extract, whisking until fully combined.
- Sift in flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder. Fold gently until no dry streaks remain.
- Spread the brownie batter evenly into the prepared pan.
Step 2: Make the Cookie Dough
- In a separate bowl, cream together softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until combined.
- Add flour, baking soda, and salt, mixing until just combined.
- Fold in the chocolate chips.
Step 3: Assemble & Bake
- Drop spoonfuls of cookie dough over the brownie layer, gently spreading it out. (It doesn’t need to fully cover the brownies!)
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the cookie top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Let the brookies cool completely before slicing into squares.

Tips for the BEST Brookies
✔️ Don’t Overmix – Overmixing makes them dense instead of chewy!
✔️ Chill the Cookie Dough – For extra thick & chewy results.
✔️ Check for Doneness – The center should be slightly soft when removed.
✔️ Let Them Cool – Brookies set up as they cool, so don’t cut too early!
