Someone was a little eager and cut these while they were still hot!

I could not decide between making brownies or chocolate chip cookies, so I made both –  brookies!  And I topped them with melted milk chocolate! These were not too hard to bake… just took a little more time because I made two doughs.

Chocolate chip cookie topped brownies

Uncategorized 2 Comments

Instead of putting a brownie inside a chocolate chip cookie, I went with more of a brookie (brownie plus cookie) approach.  I made a recipe of a batch of brownies for a 9×13 pan, as well as a recipe for a batch of chocolate chip cookies.  I spread the brownie dough in the pan and then gently pressed blobs of cookie dough on top.  I probably took them out a little sooner than I should have, so I put them in the fridge after they completely cooled down to firm up a bit more.

For the cookie recipe, you will only need half of the dough to top the brownies.  I used the other half and stuffed them with oreos.  Also, I used some homemade maple syrup.  You can use honey or corn syrup.

Remember to scoop your flour and your cocoa from your bag/container into your measuring cup so you get the right amount.

  • Brownie batter ingredients
  • 1 cup butter, melted
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened baking cocoa
  • 2 1/4 cups sugar
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1 1/3 cups flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder

Directions – preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a 9×13 pan with tin foil and spray with baking spray.  In a bowl, combine butter and baking cocoa.  Mix smooth.  Add sugar, salt, eggs (one at a time) and vanilla.  Blend in four and baking powder.  Evenly spread into prepared pan

  • Chocolate chip cookie dough ingredients (you will only need about half of this recipe.  Use the rest as you wish)
  • 1 cup butter, melted and cooled 10 minutes
  • 1 1/2 cups brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup/corn syrup/honey
  • 3 1/4 cups flour
  • 1 tbs cornstarch
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1-2 cups chocolate chips (I used milk chocolate for these)

Directions – in a bowl, combine butter, sugar, and brown sugar.  Add eggs, vanilla, and maple syrup.  Blend in dry ingredients.  Fold in chips.  Scoop out 2 tbs of dough and place on top of brown batter in pan.  Gently press down. 

Bake in oven preheated to 350 degrees for 30 to 35 minutes (toothpick inserted in brownie batter basically comes out clean).  (I would not bake longer than 35 minutes, though, because the edges may get too crispy.)  Cool completely. (If the brownies seem doughy after you cut them, pop them in the fridge, in a covered container.)  Store in covered container.

Oreo Brookie brownies

An oreo layer on the left, nutter butter on the right

I could not decide between making brownies or chocolate chip cookies, so I combined them and put a layer of oreos in between them and baked them up. I thought of putting melted chocolate on top, but decided that would be too much. 😀

Remember to preheat your oven to 350 degrees for 20 minutes before baking. Also, scoop your flour from your flour bag into your measuring cup so you get the right amount. Do the same drill with your baking cocoa.

  • Brownie ingredients
  • 2 1/2 cups sugar
  • 2/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 2 cups flour
  • 1 cup baking cocoa
  • Oreos

Directions – preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a 9×13 baking pan with parchment paper and spray with baking spray. In a bowl, combine sugar, oil, and milk. Beat in eggs and vanilla. fold in dry ingredients. The mixture will be thick. Spread into bottom of prepared pan. Layer with oreos. Set aside

  • Chocolate chip layer
  • 1/2 cup butter softened
  • 1/4 cup butter flavor crisco
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1 3/4 cups flour
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1 cup chocolate chips

Directions – in a bowl, combine butter, crisco, sugar, and brown sugar. Add egg, yolk, and vanilla. Blend in dry ingredients. Mix in chips. I grabbed handfuls of dough and flattened them like a pancake and placed them on top of oreo layer.

Bake in 350 degrees in a preheated oven for 15 minutes. Cover with tin foil to keep edges from getting too brown. Bake another 20 to 25 minutes (or possibly longer). Try not to let the edges get too brown. I would rather underbake than overbake. If you feel it is underbaked after you cut brownies up, you can chill them overnight in the fridge. That helps firm them up.
