🍪 Brookie Recipe – 6 Irresistible Steps to the Ultimate Brownie-Cookie Dessert
Ever heard of a dessert that’s part brownie, part cookie—and totally addictive? Meet the Brookie, the dessert mashup that’s won over hearts (and taste buds) across the USA and beyond. 🍫🍪
The term “Brookie” is a playful combination of brownie and cookie, and the dessert itself is exactly what you’d imagine: a fudgy brownie base topped with a gooey chocolate chip cookie layer. It first rose to popularity in American bakeries in the early 2010s and quickly became a home-baking trend, especially among dessert lovers who just couldn’t choose between their two favorites.

👨🍳 Instructions – 6 Easy Steps to Brookie Perfection
Step 1 – Preheat & Prep
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease or line an 8×8-inch square baking pan.
Step 2 – Make the Brownie Batter
In a large bowl, whisk melted butter and sugar. Add eggs and vanilla. Mix in cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder. Spread the brownie batter evenly into the prepared pan.
Step 3 – Make the Cookie Dough
In another bowl, beat the softened butter with brown and white sugars. Add egg and vanilla. Mix in the flour, baking soda, and salt. Stir in chocolate chips.
Step 4 – Layer the Brookie
Drop spoonfuls of cookie dough over the brownie batter. Gently press and spread the dough to cover most of the brownie base without over-mixing the layers.
Step 5 – Bake
Bake for 30–35 minutes. Check with a toothpick—the brownie should be fudgy but not raw, and the cookie layer golden.
Step 6 – Cool & Serve
Let the brookies cool for 15–20 minutes before slicing. Serve slightly warm for that gooey melt-in-your-mouth experience.
