Brookies are a chocolate chip cookie plus brownie mashup. My brookie recipe is made with a layer of brownie, a layer of chocolate chip cookie dough, and then another layer of brownie<\/strong>. Oh, and don’t forget the extra chocolate chips on top!<\/p>\n

These brookies – chocolate chip cookie brownie bars – deserve a place alongside some of the world’s best mashed up desserts like the cronut (croissant plus donut) and duffin (donut plus muffin).<\/p>\n

\nBrookies are for serious chocolate lovers only. They are wonderfully dense due to the sheer number of chocolate chips used in the recipe – 2 full pounds<\/em>!<\/p>\n

The inside of a brookie remains soft and moist, though, just like you would expect from a blondie (chocolate chip cookie dough baked in a brownie pan).<\/p>\n

These chocolate chip cookie bars are wonderful warm and melty<\/em> but just as good (and far less messy) at room temperature. <\/strong><\/p>\n

I cut off and eat small slivers of this dessert trying to fool myself into believing that I won’t be having another ten small slivers.<\/p>\n

How to Make Brookies<\/h2>\n

First, you’ll need brownie batter and chocolate chip cookie batter<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

For the brownie batter part, I use my double chocolate chip brownie cookie<\/a> recipe, shown below. (Those cookies are insanely good all on their own. Try them if you never have!)<\/p>\n

\"Double<\/a><\/p>\n

For the chocolate chip cookie part, I use the Nestle Toll House Blondie<\/a> recipe because it’s easy and forever my favorite.<\/p>\n

To make the brookies:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Press the brownie batter into the bottom of a greased pan.<\/li>\n
  2. Put the chocolate chip cookie batter on top of the brownie batter and press it down to form a second layer.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    \"Chocolate<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Press more brownie batter on top of the chocolate chip cookie batter to make a third layer.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      \"Brownie<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Top with lots of chocolate chips!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          \n
        1. Bake.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          Baking Tips and Variations<\/h2>\n

          You can experiment with making these using your favorite brownie and chocolate chip cookie recipes.<\/p>\n

          However, I highly suggest that you choose a more dense brownie rather than a cakey brownie<\/a><\/strong>. Combining two recipes works best if they have similar bake times and batter consistencies.<\/p>\n
