- ½ cup (100g / 3.5 ounces) granulated sugar
- ½ cup (100g / 3.5 ounces) packed brown sugar
- 1 ½ cups (190g / 6.7 ounces) all-purpose flour
- ½ cup (65g / 2.3 ounces) all-purpose flour
Fats and Flavor Enhancers:
- 1 cup (175g / 6.2 ounces) semisweet chocolate chips
- ½ cup (115g / 4 ounces) unsalted butter
- ½ cup (115g / 4 ounces) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ⅓ cup (40g / 1.4 ounces) unsweetened cocoa powder
Dry Ingredients and Seasonings:
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Prepare the oven environment by heating to 350F (175C) and lining an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper or applying a light grease coating.
- Create the rich brownie foundation by whisking melted butter with sugar until thoroughly integrated, then incorporate eggs individually, followed by vanilla extract.
- Gradually sift cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder into the wet mixture, stirring until a smooth, consistent batter forms.
- Pour the chocolate brownie mixture into the prepared pan, ensuring an even distribution across the surface.
- Simultaneously craft the cookie layer by creaming softened butter with both brown and granulated sugars until light and airy.
- Blend the egg and vanilla extract into the butter mixture, creating a cohesive, smooth consistency.
- Gently fold flour, baking soda, and salt into the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined to maintain a tender texture.
- Incorporate chocolate chips throughout the cookie dough, distributing them evenly for maximum flavor impact.
- Delicately layer spoonfuls of cookie dough atop the brownie base, allowing some of the underlying chocolate layer to peek through.
- Use a spatula to softly spread the cookie dough, creating a relatively uniform top layer.
- Slide the pan into the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, watching for a golden-brown surface and a toothpick that emerges with minimal moist crumbs.
- Remove from the oven, allowing the brookies to rest in the pan for approximately 10 minutes to set.
- Transfer to a wire rack for complete cooling, then slice into square servings and indulge in the decadent fusion of brownie and cookie textures.
Notes
- Customize the sweetness by adjusting sugar levels to suit personal taste preferences.
- Substitute gluten-free flour for a celiac-friendly version without compromising texture.
- Use dark chocolate chips for a richer, more intense chocolate experience.
- Chill the brookies before cutting for cleaner, more precise squares that hold their shape perfectly.
