Description

Brown Butter Brookies combine the best of both worlds: fudgy brownies and chewy chocolate chip cookies, layered in one irresistible dessert. The nutty aroma from the brown butter adds depth and richness, while the dual textures from the chocolate chip cookie dough and soft brownie batter create an indulgent treat perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1/3 cup milk

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder

Sugars and Chocolate

  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • Additional chocolate chips for topping (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper or grease it lightly to prevent sticking.
  2. Brown the Butter: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Stir continuously until it foams, then turns golden brown and releases a nutty aroma, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
  3. Combine Sugars with Brown Butter: In a large bowl, mix the cooled brown butter with granulated sugar and brown sugar until smooth and well combined.
  4. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture into the wet ingredients, stirring just until combined without overmixing.
  6. Divide and Add Chocolate and Cocoa: Split the dough evenly into two bowls. Stir chocolate chips into one half. Into the other half, mix in cocoa powder and milk until you achieve a soft brownie batter.
  7. Layer the Dough: Spread the chocolate chip cookie dough evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking pan.
  8. Layer Brownie Batter: Carefully spread the brownie batter over the cookie dough layer evenly, smoothing the surface with a spatula.
  9. Add Topping: Optionally, sprinkle additional chocolate chips on top for extra texture and chocolate flavor.
  10. Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  11. Cool and Serve: Allow the brookies to cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares and serving.

Notes

  • Use parchment paper for easy removal and cleaner cuts.
  • Do not overbake to maintain fudgy brownie texture.
  • Brown butter adds a rich, nutty flavor but be careful not to burn it.
  • Let brookies cool fully to firm up layers for easier slicing.
  • You can substitute semi-sweet chocolate chips with dark or milk chocolate depending on preference.
