Ingredients

Brownie Layer

1/2 cup unsalted butter
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking powder

Cookie Layer

1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup chocolate chips

Mix the brownie and cookie layers for a delicious treat.

Instructions

Prepare Brownie Batter

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a saucepan, melt the butter for the brownie layer. Remove from heat and stir in the sugar, eggs, and vanilla.

Mix in cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder until just combined.

Prepare Cookie Batter

In a separate bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Beat in the egg and vanilla until well blended.

Stir in flour, baking soda, and salt, then fold in the chocolate chips.

Combine Layers

Spread the brownie batter in a greased baking dish. Drop spoonfuls of the cookie batter over the brownie layer, then swirl them together gently with a knife.

Bake

Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Let cool before cutting into squares.

Serve warm or at room temperature and enjoy!

Tips for Success

To achieve the best texture for your browkies, make sure to measure your ingredients accurately. Baking is a science, and even small variations can affect the outcome. Use a kitchen scale for precise measurements, especially when it comes to flour and sugar.

Another tip is to not overmix the batter. Once you combine the ingredients, mix just until everything is incorporated. Overmixing can lead to tough browkies, so be gentle and allow the ingredients to come together naturally for a tender, chewy result.

Storage and Serving Suggestions

Once your browkies are baked and cooled, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. This will keep them fresh and maintain their chewy texture. If you want to enjoy them warm, simply pop them in the microwave for a few seconds before serving.

For an extra touch, serve your browkies with a drizzle of melted chocolate or a dollop of whipped cream on top. You can also sprinkle some sea salt to enhance the flavors, creating a gourmet dessert experience right at home.
