Instructions

Make Brownie Batter

  • Line a 9 x 13 with parchment paper. Melt ½ cup butter in microwave. Add ¾ cup granulated sugar and ¼ cup brown sugar to the melted butter. Whisk it for 2 minutes.
  • Add 2 eggs and whisk it for 2-3 minutes till the mixture becomes light and pale.
  • Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, ½ cup flour, ⅓rd cup cacao powder, ¼ teaspoon each of baking powder and salt.
  • Mix until well combined. Spread the brownie batter in a 9×13 inch pan.

Make the Chocolate Chip Cookie batter

  • Add ½ cup soft butter into a large bowl. Add ½ cup white sugar and ¼ cup light brown sugar and beat until creamy and well combined. If using hand mixer beat it for 3 minutes, if using whisk do 5 minutes.
  • Add an egg and one teaspoon vanilla extract and beat for 10-15 seconds.
  • Add 1 ¼ cup flour, ½ teaspoon each of baking soda and salt.
  • Gently fold until well combined. Add ½ cup chocolate chip cookies and mix well. When you touch the cookie dough it shouldn't stick to your hands.
  • Dollop small spoonful’s of the cookie batter evenly over the brownie batter. Lightly press it with your fingers so it covers most of the brownie batter. Sprinkle few chocolate chips on the top.

Baking the Brookies

  • Cover it with a foil and bake at 350 F for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake it uncovered for another 17-20 minutes. Tooth pick inserted must come out clean. Mine were done at a total of 37 minutes.

Notes

Note :
  1. Spread the brownie batter immediately into the baking pan, if not it gets little hard to spread it evenly. 
  2. If your cookie batter is very sticky, add 1-2 teaspoons of flour and mix it. 
  3. Use a 9×13 pan and cover the batter with a foil for the first 20 minutes of cooking. 
  4. Cool completely before cutting the brookies.
