Chocolate Chip Cookie Brownies Recipe

Introduction

What happens when you merge two of the most beloved desserts in one pan? This Chocolate Chip Cookie Brownies Recipe marries the gooey, fudgy richness of classic brownies with the buttery, chewy delight of chocolate chip cookies. These brookies are a true crowd-pleaser for every occasion, delivering crave-worthy layers and a double dose of chocolatey goodness.

Whether you’re prepping for a bake sale or need a dessert guaranteed to impress, chocolate chip cookie brownies are an irresistible treat that’s surprisingly simple to make – no special skills required!

The Ultimate Dessert Fusion

These “brookies” stand out because you get the best of both worlds in every bite: a dense, melt-in-your-mouth brownie base topped with golden, gooey chocolate chip cookie dough. The contrast between the rich chocolate brownie and the sweet, slightly crisp cookie layer makes for a truly addictive dessert.

Layering for Perfection

The secret to perfect chocolate chip cookie brownies is mastering the two batters. Start with the brownie layer, ensuring it’s thick and luscious (not dry). The cookie dough should be soft enough to spread but sturdy enough to bake up chewy instead of cakey.

For even baking and effortless release, line your baking pan with a sheet of Reynolds Kitchens Brown Parchment Paper Roll. This ensures that your brookies slide right out for neat slicing.

Tools to Simplify Your Bake

Measuring ingredients for two distinct batters requires precision. A Amazon Basics Digital Kitchen Scale with LCD Display will help you get the ratios just right for brownies that are rich and cookies that are perfectly chewy.

Mixing up two batters is easier with a sturdy bowl and high-quality utensils. If melting chocolate for the brownie layer, use a heatproof bowl and a silicone spatula to make sure every bit is combined smoothly.

Baking and Assembling Your Brookies

Spread the brownie batter into your prepared pan and dollop the cookie dough over the top. Gently spread the cookie dough, leaving some gaps for a beautifully marbled look as the layers bake together.

Handle the hot baking pan with a KitchenAid Ribbed Soft Silicone Oven Mitt Set to protect your hands from heat while ensuring your brookies come out unscathed.

Let the brookies cool fully in the pan before lifting them out with the parchment paper and transferring to a cutting board for slicing.

Serving Suggestions

Chocolate Chip Cookie Brownies Recipe (Recap)

Chocolate chip cookie brownies offer the best parts of two classic bakes in a single, easy-to-make pan dessert. With gooey chocolate, chewy cookie texture, and rich flavor, they’re always a hit for potlucks, parties, or simple family treats.

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with a sheet of Reynolds Kitchens Brown Parchment Paper Roll with overhang for easy removal.
2. Prepare the Brownie Layer: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter and sugar. Beat in the eggs and vanilla. Sift in the cocoa powder, flour, and salt, stirring until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips. Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan and smooth into an even layer.
3. Make the Cookie Layer: In another mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and both sugars until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla. Stir in the flour, baking soda, and salt until just combined, then fold in the chocolate chips.
4. Spoon large dollops of cookie dough over the brownie layer. Gently spread the cookie dough to cover most of the brownie batter—don’t worry if some brownie shows through.
5. Bake for 28–33 minutes, or until the cookie layer is golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs. Use a KitchenAid Ribbed Soft Silicone Oven Mitt Set to safely remove the pan.
6. Cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Lift out using the parchment overhang and cut into squares using a sharp knife or bench scraper for clean edges.
7. To store, place the cooled brookies in a Rubbermaid Brilliance Food Storage Container to keep them moist and fresh for up to 4 days at room temperature or 1 week in the fridge.
