How to Assemble a Brookie: Your Step-by-Step Guide to Dessert Perfection
Brookies are a perfect combination of chewy brownies and crispy cookies. This guide walks you through each step to create the perfect brookie, from preparing layers to baking and serving them with style.
Equipment
- Baking Pan
- Mixing Bowls
- Electric Mixer
Ingredients
Brownie Layer
- 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter Melted
- 1 cup Granulated Sugar
- 2 Eggs
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 1/2 cup Cocoa Powder
- 1/2 cup All-Purpose Flour
- 1/4 tsp Baking Powder
- 1/4 tsp Salt
Cookie Dough Layer
- 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter Softened
- 1/4 cup Granulated Sugar
- 3/4 cup Brown Sugar Packed
- 1 Egg
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 1 1/4 cups All-Purpose Flour
- 1/2 tsp Baking Soda
- 1/4 tsp Salt
- 1 cup Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8×8-inch square pan or line it with parchment paper.
- Prepare the brownie layer: Melt butter and mix it with sugar, eggs, and vanilla. Add cocoa powder, flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir until smooth, then pour into the pan.
- Prepare the cookie dough: Beat butter with granulated and brown sugar until fluffy. Add eggs and vanilla, then incorporate flour, baking soda, and salt. Fold in chocolate chips. Spoon evenly over the brownie layer.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, checking with a toothpick. It should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs. If the cookie layer browns too fast, cover with foil.
- Cool the brookie in the pan for 15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Slice into squares and serve.
Notes
For a richer flavor, add chocolate chips to both the brownie and cookie layers. You can also experiment with mix-ins like nuts or caramel swirls.
