Trust me, you’ll want to make a double batch because these babies disappear faster than your New Year’s resolutions.
The Secret to Irresistible Brookies
What makes these brookies so special? It’s all about the perfect balance of fudgy brownie and chewy cookie in every bite.
Plus, we’ve got a time-saving trick that’ll have you whipping these up on a whim.
Ingredients
For the Brownie Layer:
- 1 box brownie mix (plus ingredients called for on the box)
For the Cookie Layer:
- 1 1/2 sticks (12 tablespoons) butter, melted and cooled
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg + 1 egg yolk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups + 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Line a 9×13 inch pan with foil and give it a good spray with non-stick cooking spray.
-
Whip up that brownie mix according to the box instructions. Pour it into your prepared pan, but don’t bake it just yet!
-
Now for the cookie magic: In the same bowl you used for the brownies (because who likes extra dishes?), mix the melted butter, sugars, eggs, and vanilla.
-
Stir in the flour, baking soda, and salt. Fold in those chocolate chips like they’re going out of style.
-
Use your hands to drop globs of cookie dough all over the brownie batter. Don’t worry if some brownie peeks through – that’s part of the charm!
-
Pop that bad boy in the oven for about 25-30 minutes. You’re looking for a set cookie top that’s not too brown.
-
Let it cool (if you can resist), then cut into squares and watch them disappear.
The Shortcut That’ll Change Your Life
Here’s the game-changer: we’re using boxed brownie mix. I know, I know, but hear me out.
While I’m usually a from-scratch gal, a good boxed brownie mix can be a lifesaver. It’s all about working smarter, not harder, folks!
