Take brownies and cookies, mix them up, and you get something awesome. Brookies have gooey chocolate centers and a little cookie crunch on the outside, making every bite a treat you won't forget.
The first batch I ever baked was wild to watch. I loved seeing the shiny mix rise and crack just right. Now they're my favorite fix whenever a chocolate craving hits me.
Must-Have Ingredients
- Chocolate Chips: Go for dark, at least 70% cocoa, to boost flavor
- Butter: Let it sit out so it melts smooth
- Cocoa Powder: Makes the chocolate taste bolder
- Two Sugars: Mixing both makes the perfect crumb
- Eggs: Let them warm up first so they blend easier
- Chocolate Chunks: For pops of extra-rich bites

Fun Brookie Steps
- Baking Beauty:
- Look for firm edges and barely soft middles before pulling them from the oven.
- Cookie Creation:
- Scoop up even blobs and drop them on your lined tray.
- Dry Mix Time:
- Add the dry parts slow and easy so everything stays rich and gooey.
- Egg-Sugar Whip:
- Beat eggs plus sugar till fluffy and light for that soft bite.
- Chocolate Melt:
- Warm chocolate with butter gently, stirring until it gets glossy and smooth.
Trust me, I've tried a bunch. Take your time melting that chocolate and whipping those eggs it makes all the difference for that shiny, crackly top everyone wants.
Tasty Complements
Dig in while they're warm with vanilla ice cream for an epic finish. Try some salted caramel drizzled on top or dunk them in a cold glass of milk for extra comfort vibes.
Fun Twists
Crunch things up with nuts, swirl some peanut butter in before baking, or toss in white chocolate for a pretty pop. Sprinkle on some fun decorations if you're feeling festive.
Easy Storage
Pop them in a sealed box for about five days. Stick some parchment between layers so nothing clings together. They freeze great for up to three months. Warm them up a little to get that fresh-baked feel.
