Ingredients
Scale
Brownie Base:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp baking powder
Chocolate Chip Cookie Layer:
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips
Topping and Finishing:
- 1/4 cup chocolate fudge sauce
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips (additional)
- 1/4 cup chopped nuts (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, ensuring complete coverage with overhang for easy removal.
- Prepare the brownie base by whisking flour, cocoa powder, both sugars, salt, and baking powder in a large mixing bowl until thoroughly combined.
- Create a well in the dry ingredients and pour in eggs, vegetable oil, milk, and vanilla extract. Blend with a spatula until a smooth, rich chocolate batter forms without overmixing.
- For the chocolate chip cookie layer, cream softened butter with both sugars in a separate bowl until light and fluffy, approximately 3 minutes.
- Incorporate egg and vanilla extract into the butter mixture, mixing until completely integrated.
- Gradually fold flour, baking soda, and salt into the cookie dough, then gently stir in chocolate chips.
- Spread the brownie batter evenly across the prepared pan, creating a uniform base layer.
- Carefully dollop the chocolate chip cookie dough on top of the brownie layer, gently spreading to cover most of the surface without completely mixing the layers.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Remove from oven and immediately drizzle chocolate fudge sauce over the warm surface.
- Sprinkle additional chocolate chips and optional chopped nuts across the top while still warm.
- Allow to cool completely in the pan for approximately 1 hour before lifting out using parchment paper edges.
- Cut into squares and serve, enjoying the decadent combination of brownie and chocolate chip cookie textures.
Notes
- Prevent overmixing the batters to maintain a tender, fudgy texture and avoid tough, dense brookies.
- Use room temperature ingredients like eggs and butter to ensure smooth, well-incorporated mixtures that blend effortlessly.
- Customize the recipe by swapping chocolate chips with butterscotch, peanut butter, or white chocolate chips for unique flavor variations.
- Refrigerate brookies for 30 minutes before baking to help layers maintain distinct separation and achieve a visually appealing marbled effect.
