How to Make Brookies:

• Step 1 – Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

• Step 2 – Spray a 9X13 pan with cooking spray.

• Step 3 – Make the brownie batter. Start by combining the sugar, eggs, and vanilla in the melted butter. The next part needs to be combined by hand. Then add the flour and stir in the cocoa, salt, and baking powder.

• Step 4 – Make the cookie layer. Get out another bowl and add both types of sugars, butter, and vanilla together. Use a mixer to combine this together until it is creamy.

• Step 5 – Add the egg. Next, add in the baking soda and salt and flour. Combine this by hand. Be careful not to over mix. 

• Step 6 – Carefully fold in the chocolate chips with a spoon. Don’t use a mixer for this part.

• Step 7 – Pour the brownie batter into a prepared baking pan. We used a 9×13 pan. You may need to use a spatula to spread it out so it is even.

• Step 8 – Drop spoonful’s of the cookie dough on top of the brownie batter.  Make sure to drop the spoonful’s all over so you get this delicious combination in each bite. Try to spread it out as evenly as you can but it won’t cover the top completely and that is normal.

• Step 9 – Now just bake the bars for 25 to 28 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The cookie dough on top should be golden brown.

• Step 10 – Let them cool and then cut and serve. They are easiest to cut with a plastic knife and make sure to wipe the knife off in between each bar. The bars will have clean lines doing it like this.

Brownie and Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars:

You can make the squares as small or large as needed. This treat is perfect for holidays, movie night, parties and just because.

My kids love when I make these for after school treats. They also make a great dessert to add to their lunchbox. The bars are much cheaper than prepackaged treats at the grocery store.

How to know when they are done:

You will know they are done when the top is golden brown. You can insert a toothpick to check to see if it comes out clean. They could also have a slightly wet center, but they will finish cooking after removing from the oven.

Recipe Tips:

• Baking Pan – The brownie bars are best in a 9×13 baking pan. This seems to make them the perfect thickness.

• Spray Baking Pan – Make sure to spray with non stick cooking spray. This will make getting the bars out to cut them so much easier.

• Line with Parchment paper – You can also line the baking pan with parchment paper.

• Cool Completely – Let the brookies cool completely before cutting. They need time to firm or it will be difficult to cut into squares.

• Room Temperature Ingredients – The butter needs to be at room temperature before using.

• Quality Chocolate – Try to use good quality ingredients especially for the cocoa powder and chocolate chips.
  
• Serving – Serve with ice cream for a delicious treat. We like to warm in the microwave and drizzle with chocolate syrup for added chocolate flavor.

Variation ideas

• Nuts. You can add nuts to the recipe. Pecans or walnuts taste amazing.

• Chocolate. Substitute different types of morsels instead of chocolate chips. Some ideas include: peanut butter, white chocolate, dark chocolate and caramel.

• Frosting. If you are feeling extra decadent, add icing on top. It is so rich and amazing. Chocolate frosting or peanut butter frosting would be delicious.

• Mini marshmallows – Toss in a handful of marshmallows for another delicious idea.

• Ice cream – Try serving the brookies topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. It is also tasty with chocolate syrup on top too.

How to store brookies:

Store the bars inside an airtight container. They will last up to a week in the fridge.

Can you freeze this recipe?

Yes, the bars can be frozen up to 2 months. I recommend using wax paper in between the layers and storing inside a freezer container.

The wax paper will help prevent the bars from sticking to each other. It will also make it easy to just grab a couple.

How long will Brookies last?

If the brookies are stored properly, they will last about a week in the fridge. If you want them to last longer, you can also freeze them. They will last about 2 months if stored in the freezer properly.
