Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1 cup brownie batter (store-bought or homemade)
Here you can see the ingredients ready for mixing and baking.
Directions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- In another bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually mix this dry mixture into the butter mixture until just combined.
- Gently fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
- Take a scoop of the cookie dough and slightly flatten it in your hand. Place a dollop of brownie batter in the center, then carefully fold the cookie dough around it to form a ball.
- Place the cookie balls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them apart to allow room for spreading.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and the centers look just set.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Tips & Variations
- Ingredient Substitutions: You can use coconut oil instead of butter for a dairy-free option. If you don’t have brown sugar, use all granulated sugar for a slightly different flavor.
- Optional Variations: Add nuts, like walnuts or pecans, for a crunchier texture. You can also sprinkle sea salt on top right before baking for a touch of savory flavor.
- Storage Tips: Store leftover Brookie Cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. If you want to enjoy them later, freeze them in a single layer and transfer to a zip-top bag for up to three months. Reheat in the oven for a few minutes for that fresh-baked taste.
