Instructions

Prepare the Brownie Layer

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a medium saucepan, melt the butter and sugar together over low heat. Remove from heat and stir in eggs and vanilla.

Combine cocoa, flour, salt, and baking powder in a separate bowl, then stir into the butter mixture.

Pour the brownie batter into a greased 9x9 inch baking pan.

Make the Cookie Layer

In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth. Beat in the egg and vanilla.

In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add to the creamed mixture. Stir in the chocolate chips.

Drop spoonfuls of cookie dough over the brownie layer in the pan.

Bake and Cool

Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until the cookie layer is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the brownie layer comes out clean.

Allow to cool before cutting into squares and serving.

Enjoy your delicious browkies warm or at room temperature!

Tips for Perfect Browkies

To ensure your browkies turn out perfectly every time, make sure to measure your ingredients accurately. Baking is a science, and even slight variations can affect the outcome. Use a kitchen scale for precise measurements, especially for flour and sugars, to achieve that ideal texture.

Another tip is to allow your browkies to cool completely before cutting them into squares. This helps the layers set properly, preventing them from falling apart when you serve them. For an extra treat, serve them warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top!

Storing and Freezing Browkies

If you manage to have leftovers, storing your browkies is easy! Keep them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days. For longer storage, you can refrigerate them, which will extend their freshness for about a week. Just make sure to bring them back to room temperature before serving for the best flavor.

For those who love to plan ahead, browkies can also be frozen. Wrap individual squares in plastic wrap and place them in a freezer-safe bag. They can be stored in the freezer for up to three months. When you’re ready to enjoy one, simply thaw it at room temperature or pop it in the microwave for a few seconds to warm it up.
