Ingredients

Scale

Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough

  • 1 and 1/2 cups (180g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon flaky sea salt (regular salt will work in a pinch)
  • 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup (106g) dark brown sugar, packed
  • 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
  • 2 and 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Brownie Cookie Dough

  • 6 tablespoons (84g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup (120g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup (106g) dark brown sugar, packed
  • 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 large egg yolk, room temperature
  • 3/4 cup milk chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Prepare Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and sea salt. In a separate large bowl, using a handheld mixer or stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat room temperature butter on medium speed until smooth. Add dark brown sugar, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract; beat until pale and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Beat in the egg thoroughly. Gently fold in the flour mixture with a rubber spatula just until incorporated, then fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips. Cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour to firm up.
  2. Make Brownie Cookie Dough: In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter and 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, stirring constantly until smooth, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and whisk until completely smooth; set aside. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Add dark brown sugar, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract to the chocolate mixture and whisk until fully combined, about 2 minutes. Beat in the egg and egg yolk until well incorporated. Gently fold in the flour mixture until just combined, then fold in the milk chocolate chips.
  3. Preheat Oven and Prepare Baking Sheets: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
  4. Assemble Brookies: Using an ice cream scoop or tablespoon, scoop 2-tablespoon-sized rounds of chocolate chip cookie dough onto the baking sheets, spacing each about 2 inches apart. Next, using another scoop or tablespoon, place equivalent-sized rounds of brownie cookie dough directly next to each chocolate chip cookie dough round. Gently pinch the edges of both doughs together, sealing any gaps to form one combined cookie.
  5. Bake Brookies: Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 12 minutes, or until the edges and tops are set but the centers still appear slightly underdone and soft.
  6. Cool: Allow the brookies to cool for 10 minutes on the baking sheets to set further before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy your indulgent brookies once fully cooled or slightly warm.

Notes

  • Use room temperature ingredients for better mixing and texture.
  • Chilling the chocolate chip cookie dough helps maintain shape during baking.
  • Do not overbake the brookies; centers should remain slightly underdone for a fudgy texture.
  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
  • For variation, try different types of chocolate chips or add nuts if desired.
