Ingredients
Brownie Layer:
- 3/4 cup Butter (softened)
- 1 cup Sugar
- 1/3 cup Brown Sugar

- 1 cup Flour

Chocolate Chip Cookie Layer:
- 1/2 cup Butter (softened)
- 3/4 cup Brown Sugar
- 1/4 cup Sugar
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla
- 1 1/4 cups Flour
- 1/2 teaspoon Baking Soda
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Chocolate Chips (plus milk chocolate chunks to sprinkle on the top)
Instructions
Brownie Batter:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large mixing bowl, cream together butter, sugar, and brown sugar for 3-4 minutes or until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Add vanilla.
- Stir in cocoa, flour, baking soda, and salt until mixed together. Fold in chocolate chips. Pour into 9 x 13 aluminum pan and spread evenly. DO NOT use a glass pan or the brookies will take so much longer to cook and will get hard on the edges and underbaked in the center.
Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough:
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together butter, brown sugar, and sugar for 3-4 minutes. Add egg and vanilla and mix for 1 minute longer.
- Stir in flour, baking soda, and salt. Fold in chocolate chips. Drop spoonfuls of cookie dough on top of the brownie batter, evenly, to try to cover most of it.
- Bake for 28 to 32 minutes or until the edges begin to set-up. If you are using milk chocolate chunks, sprinkle on the top the last 5 minutes of baking time. Once the bars are baked, let cool before cutting. To make it easier to cut, place the bars in the freezer for 20-30 minutes.
Notes
DO NOT use a glass pan or the brookies will take so much longer to cook and will get hard on the edges and underbaked in the center.
