Ingredients

Scale
  • For the Brownie Batter:
  • 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup (95g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup (35g) unsweetened cocoa powder, sifted (Dutch-processed recommended)
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup (90g) dark chocolate chunks
  • For the Cookie Dough:
  • 1/4 cup (57g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup (100g) packed brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (120g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup (90g) semisweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Line an 8×8 inch (20×20 cm) square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang for easy removal. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Make the brownie batter: In a medium bowl, whisk melted butter and granulated sugar until combined and glossy, about 1-2 minutes. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each. Stir in vanilla extract.
  3. Sift together flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually fold into wet mixture without overmixing. Fold in dark chocolate chunks evenly.
  4. Prepare the cookie dough: In another bowl, cream softened butter with brown and granulated sugars until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Beat in egg and vanilla extract until blended.
  5. Whisk flour, baking soda, and salt in a small bowl. Slowly add to wet cookie mixture until just combined. Fold in semisweet chocolate chips. Chill dough in fridge for 15 minutes.
  6. Spread brownie batter evenly in prepared pan. Drop spoonfuls of chilled cookie dough over brownie layer, gently pressing some dollops down to create a marbled effect without fully mixing.
  7. Bake for 30-35 minutes, starting to check at 30 minutes by inserting a toothpick near cookie dough spots; it should come out with a few moist crumbs but not wet batter.
  8. Cool brookies completely in pan on wire rack for at least 1 hour. Use parchment overhang to lift out and slice into squares.

Notes

Chilling the cookie dough before baking is essential to keep the cookie part chewy and prevent spreading. Avoid overmixing to maintain texture. Use quality dark chocolate chunks for melty pockets. Tent with foil if cookie dough browns too quickly. Brookies taste better after resting a day. Variations include adding nuts, peanut butter swirl, gluten-free or vegan adaptations, and seasonal twists.
