Instructions

Preheat the Oven

Spread the Brownie Mixture

Pour the brownie mixture into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly.

Make the Cookie Topping

In a bowl, cream together the softened butter, sugar, and brown sugar. Add the egg and vanilla, then mix in flour, baking soda, and salt. Fold in chocolate chips.

Add the Cookie Topping

Drop spoonfuls of the cookie dough on top of the brownie mixture, spreading it out slightly.

Tips for Perfect Brookies

To ensure your Brookies turn out perfectly every time, make sure to measure your ingredients accurately. Baking is a science, and even small discrepancies in measurements can lead to varying results. Using a kitchen scale can help you achieve the most consistent outcome.

Letting the Brookies cool in the pan for a bit before lifting them out is essential. This allows them to set properly, making them easier to cut into neat squares. If you prefer, you can also chill them slightly in the fridge after cutting for cleaner edges.

Storing and Freezing Brookies

Proper storage is key to enjoying your Brookies for days to come. Store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. If you want to keep them fresh longer, consider refrigerating them, which can extend their shelf life.

Brookies also freeze wonderfully! Once cooled and cut, simply place them in a freezer-safe bag or container. They can be frozen for up to three months. Just thaw them in the fridge overnight before enjoying them, and they'll taste as good as fresh!
