- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- For the Cookie Layer:
- 1/2 cup 115g unsalted butter, softened
- 1/3 cup 70g brown sugar
- 1/4 cup 50g granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/4 cups 160g all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup 130g semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Prepare the Brownie Batter:
- In a microwave-safe bowl or saucepan, melt 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter until smooth. Let it cool slightly.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar, and 2 large eggs until smooth and slightly frothy. Stir in 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Sift in 1/3 cup (40g) unsweetened cocoa powder, 1/2 cup (65g) all-purpose flour, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Gently fold the ingredients until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
- Set the brownie batter aside.
- Prepare the Cookie Dough:
- In a separate bowl, beat 1/2 cup (115g) softened unsalted butter, 1/3 cup (70g) brown sugar, and 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar together until light and fluffy.
- Add 1 large egg and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and beat until fully combined.
- Gradually add 1 1/4 cups (160g) all-purpose flour, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/4 teaspoon salt to the wet mixture. Mix on low speed until a dough forms.
- Fold in 3/4 cup (130g) semi-sweet chocolate chips using a spatula, distributing them evenly throughout the dough.
- Assemble the Brookie Cookies:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Using a tablespoon, scoop portions of the brownie batter onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Using a separate tablespoon, scoop portions of the cookie dough and place them on top of each brownie batter scoop. Gently press down to slightly flatten and adhere the layers together.
- Bake:
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers are still slightly soft.
- Take the cookies out of the oven and let them rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before moving them to a wire rack to cool fully.
