Ingredients

Brownie Layer

1 cup unsalted butter
2 cups sugar
4 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup cocoa powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup chocolate chips

Cookie Layer

1/2 cup unsalted butter
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup chocolate chips

Mix the ingredients thoroughly for both layers to ensure a consistent texture.

Instructions

Prepare the Brownie Layer

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a bowl, melt the butter and mix in sugar, eggs, and vanilla. Stir in flour, cocoa powder, and salt until combined. Fold in chocolate chips.

Prepare the Cookie Layer

In another bowl, cream together butter and sugars until fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla, then mix in dry ingredients followed by chocolate chips.

Combine Layers and Bake

Spread the brownie batter in a greased pan, then dollop the cookie dough on top. Use a knife to swirl the two together. Bake for 25-30 minutes.

Let the Browkies cool before cutting into squares.

Storage Tips

To keep your Browkies fresh and delicious, it's essential to store them properly. We recommend placing them in an airtight container at room temperature. When stored this way, they can last for about 3 to 4 days, maintaining their fudgy texture and rich flavor.

If you want to extend their shelf life, consider freezing them. Simply wrap individual pieces in plastic wrap and place them in a freezer-safe container. When you're ready to enjoy a treat, thaw them at room temperature or warm them in the microwave for a few seconds.

Serving Suggestions

Browkies are delicious on their own, but they can be even more enjoyable when paired with your favorite accompaniments. A scoop of vanilla ice cream served alongside warm Browkies creates a delightful contrast of temperatures and textures. The creamy ice cream complements the rich chocolate flavors beautifully.

For an extra touch, drizzle some caramel sauce or a dusting of powdered sugar on top before serving. These little additions can elevate your Browkies from a simple dessert to a gourmet experience that will wow your friends and family.
