Ingredients

Brownie Cookie Dough

  • 1/2 cup (113 g) unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 3/4 cup (150 g) light brown sugar, packed
  • 1/4 cup (50 g) granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/3 cup Dutch-process cocoa powder
  • 1 cup (125 g) all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled
  • 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2/3 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough

  • 2 3/4 cups (345 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (226 g) unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 3/4 cup (150 g) light brown sugar, packed
  • 2/3 cup (130 g) granulated sugar
  • 1 egg, plus 1 egg yolk, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper and set them aside to prepare for baking.
  2. Make Brownie Dough Base: In a stand mixer bowl, combine the room temperature butter and light brown sugar. Mix on medium speed for about three minutes until the mixture is light and fluffy. Add one large egg and one teaspoon of vanilla extract; mix until well combined.
  3. Mix Dry Brownie Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, Dutch-process cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
  4. Combine Brownie Dough: Sift the dry ingredients into the wet mixture. Mix on low speed until just combined, then fold in two-thirds cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips using a spatula. Set this brownie dough aside.
  5. Prepare Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Base: In a clean stand mixer bowl, mix the cold cubed butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar on low speed. Gradually increase the mixer to medium-high speed and beat for about four minutes until pale and fluffy with no visible chunks of butter.
  6. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Add one egg followed by one egg yolk, mixing well between additions. Then mix in two teaspoons of vanilla extract until incorporated.
  7. Mix Dry Chocolate Chip Cookie Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt.
  8. Combine Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough: Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients in two parts, mixing on low speed until just combined. Fold in one cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips.
  9. Form Cookie Balls: Use a small cookie scoop to form balls of each dough type, making the chocolate chip cookie dough balls slightly larger than the brownie dough balls.
  10. Combine Dough Balls: Press one brownie dough ball and one chocolate chip cookie dough ball together to form a single larger ball.
  11. Arrange and Bake: Place the combined dough balls on the prepared baking sheets about two inches apart. Bake one sheet at a time in the center of the preheated oven for eight to nine minutes until the edges are set but the tops remain slightly underbaked.
  12. Cool Down: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for five to ten minutes to firm up, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.

Notes

  • For best texture, do not overbake the brookies; the centers should remain soft and slightly underbaked.
  • Make sure butter for the chocolate chip dough is cold for optimal dough consistency.
  • Allow cookies to cool adequately on the baking sheet to avoid breaking when transferring.
  • Use parchment paper to prevent sticking and ease cleanup.
  • You can store baked brookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
