BROOKIES (BROWNIE AND CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE BARS)



Brookies (Brownie and Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars) image

Made from marbled layers of brownie batter and chocolate chip cookie dough, brookies are a fun treat for all ages.

Categories     Desserts

Yield 24 Brookies

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 stick (½ cup) unsalted butter
4 oz bittersweet chocolate, roughly chopped (best quality, such as Ghirardelli)
½ cup granulated sugar
½ cup packed light brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
½ cup all-purpose flour, spooned into measuring cup and leveled off with knife
1 stick (½ cup) unsalted butter, at room temperature
⅓ cup granulated sugar
⅓ cup packed light brown sugar
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
1 large egg
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon baking soda
1¼ cups all-purpose flour, spooned into measuring cup and leveled-off with a knife
½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Steps:

  • Set the rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 350°F. Line a 13 x 9 x 2-inch pan with parchment paper (bring the parchment up the sides of pan so there is a slight overhang) and grease with butter or nonstick cooking spray. (If the parchment is slipping, dot a little butter or nonstick spray in the corners of the pan to help the parchment stick.)
  • Make the brownie batter: Place the butter in a medium microwave-safe bowl and melt in the microwave until bubbling. Add the chocolate and whisk until the chocolate is completely melted. The heat from the butter should be enough to melt the chocolate completely, but if not, place the chocolate-butter mixture in the microwave and heat for 20 seconds or so, then whisk again. (Alternatively, combine the butter and chocolate in a heatproof bowl and set over a pan of simmering water. Stir occasionally until melted.) Whisk in the granulated sugar, brown sugar, vanilla, and salt. The mixture will be a bit grainy; that's okay. Whisk in the eggs. Finally, whisk in the flour until combined. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly with a spatula. Set aside.
  • Make the cookie dough: In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle or beaters, beat the butter and both sugars for 3 minutes, or until light and fluffy. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl as necessary. Add the vanilla and egg and beat for 1 minute more. Scrape down the sides of the bowl again. Add the salt, baking powder, and baking soda and beat briefly until evenly combined. On low speed, mix in the flour. Finally, add the chocolate chips and mix until just combined.
  • Dollop small spoonfuls of the cookie dough evenly over the brownie batter (no need to spread it out or press it down). Cover the pan with aluminum foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and continue baking until the brownie edges are shiny and the cookie portion is golden brown, about 20 minutes more. Transfer the pan to a wire rack and cool completely. To cut, lift the brookies out of the pan using the parchment overhang and transfer them to a cutting board. Pull the parchment away from the edges. Using a sharp knife, cut the brookies into 2-in squares directly on the parchment.
  • Make-Ahead/Freezer-Friendly Instructions: Brookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days; freeze for longer storage.

BROWNIE COOKIE BARS



Brownie Cookie Bars image

This brownie cookie bar recipe kind of combines brownies and cookies, except that the brownies are square and thin enough to be considered a cookie! When fully cooked, sprinkle powdered sugar over top, cut into squares, and they're ready to eat! If you scale down the recipe, you may want to use a smaller pan because these are meant to be thin. Trust me, they go fast!

Number Of Ingredients 8

20 ounces brownie mix, Betty Crocker Original Supreme preferred (with chocolate syrup pouch)
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup water
2 eggs
17 1/2 ounces chocolate chip cookie mix, Betty Crocker brand preferred
1/2 cup butter or 1/2 cup margarine, softened
1 egg
16 ounces chocolate frosting, Betty Crocker Rich & Creamy preferred

  • Cool completely, about 1 hour then frost.
  • **For brownies, cut into 8 rows by 6 rows.

Tips:

  • To ensure an even bake, use a baking sheet with a light-colored surface, as dark pans absorb more heat and can cause the edges of the bars to overcook. Parchment paper can also be an effective way to prevent sticking.
  • Be careful not to overmix the batter. Overmixing can lead to a tough, dense texture. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Use high-quality chocolate chips. This will make a big difference in the flavor of the bars.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different flavors. You can add nuts, dried fruit, or even peanut butter to the batter.
  • For chewier bars, let them cool completely before cutting.
