Ingredients

• 1/2 cup unsalted butter (substitute: coconut oil for dairy-free)
• 1 cup granulated sugar (substitute: coconut sugar or maple syrup – adjust liquid)
• 2 large eggs (substitute: flax eggs for vegan)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (substitute: carob powder)
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (substitute: gluten-free flour blend)
• 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup chocolate chips (use dairy-free or vegan chocolate chips if preferred)
• 1 cup cookie dough (homemade or store-bought; can use vegan/dairy-free options)

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper for easy removal.
2. In a medium saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Remove from heat and stir in granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
3. Beat in cocoa powder, flour, baking powder, and salt until the batter is cohesive and free of lumps. Fold in the chocolate chips for extra melty bites.
4. Spread half of the brownie batter evenly into the bottom of your prepared pan.
5. Drop spoonfuls of cookie dough over the brownie batter layer. Don’t worry about spreading it completely; just distribute evenly.
6. Gently spread the remaining brownie batter over the cookie dough layer. It’s okay if some cookie dough peeks through.
7. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with fudgy crumbs but not wet batter.
8. Allow the brookies to cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares. This helps them set perfectly.

Expert Tips

To get the perfect fudgy and chewy texture, don’t overbake—start checking around 25 minutes. Use room temperature eggs for better mixing. For easier cutting, chill brookies briefly after cooling.

If you want chunkier brookies, add nuts like walnuts or pecans to the batter. To make homemade cookie dough, mix softened butter, sugar, vanilla, flour, and chocolate chips—avoid eggs if you prefer edible dough.

Storage

Store your brookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, keep them in the fridge for up to a week or freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw at room temperature before serving.

Variations

• Vegan: Use flax eggs, non-dairy butter, and vegan chocolate chips.
• Gluten-Free: Substitute all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend.
• Dairy-Free: Use coconut oil or vegan butter, and dairy-free chocolate chips.
• Refined Sugar-Free: Use coconut sugar or maple syrup and adjust wet ingredients accordingly.
