Ingredients
Scale
Chocolate 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 unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
Cookie Layer:
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
Binding and Finishing:
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 cup chocolate chips (extra for topping)
- 2 tbsp milk
- 1 tbsp heavy cream
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, ensuring overhang for easy removal.
- Prepare the chocolate base by whisking flour, cocoa powder, granulated sugar, and brown sugar in a large mixing bowl until uniformly combined.
- Create a smooth chocolate mixture by melting butter, then incorporating eggs, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract, stirring until the texture becomes glossy and well-integrated.
- Fold the wet ingredients into the dry chocolate mixture, mixing gently until a rich, thick brownie batter forms without overmixing.
- For the cookie layer, cream butter with granulated and brown sugars until light and fluffy, then introduce the egg and vanilla extract, blending thoroughly.
- Gradually incorporate flour into the cookie dough, gently folding in chocolate chips to distribute evenly throughout the mixture.
- Sprinkle baking powder and salt across both batters to enhance texture and flavor complexity.
- Carefully spread the chocolate brownie batter as the first layer in the prepared pan, creating an even, smooth foundation.
- Delicately layer the chocolate chip cookie dough on top of the brownie base, using an offset spatula to distribute evenly without disturbing the underlying layer.
- Drizzle milk and heavy cream over the surface, then sprinkle additional chocolate chips for enhanced visual appeal and flavor intensity.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted near the center emerges with a few moist crumbs.
- Allow the brookie to cool completely in the pan before lifting out using parchment paper and cutting into decadent squares.
Notes
- Chilling the brownie batter for 15 minutes before layering helps prevent mixing and creates cleaner, distinct layers in the final dessert.
- Soften butter at room temperature for easier creaming and smoother cookie dough texture, ensuring even distribution of ingredients.
- Use high-quality cocoa powder and chocolate chips to elevate the overall flavor profile and create a more luxurious brookie experience.
- Adjust baking time if you prefer fudgier or more cake-like brookies, watching closely to prevent over-baking and maintain moisture.
