Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs, room temperature
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup Dutch-processed cocoa powder
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- ¾ cup unsalted butter, softened
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 2¾ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Step 1: Prepare Your Baking Pan Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides to easily lift the **Fudgy Chewy Brookies** out later. Lightly spray the parchment with cooking spray for extra insurance against sticking.
- Step 2: Make the Brownie Batter In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium-low heat. Once melted, remove from heat and whisk in the sugar until combined. Add the eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition until the mixture becomes shiny and smooth. Stir in the vanilla extract. In a separate bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder, flour, and salt. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined—don’t overmix! Fold in the chocolate chips. The batter should be thick and glossy.
- Step 3: Prepare the Cookie Dough In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter with both sugars until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes. This creaming process incorporates air for perfectly textured **Fudgy Chewy Brookies**. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then the vanilla extract. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips by hand using a rubber spatula.
- Step 4: Layer and Bake Spread the brownie batter evenly into the prepared baking pan, smoothing the top with a spatula. Next, dollop spoonfuls of the cookie dough over the brownie layer, then gently spread to create an even top layer. Don’t press too hard—you want to maintain distinct layers. Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the cookie layer is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Step 5: Cool and Cut Allow the **Fudgy Chewy Brookies** to cool completely in the pan, which will take about 2 hours. This cooling time is crucial—cutting them too soon will result in a gooey mess rather than clean squares. Once cooled, lift the entire brookie slab out using the parchment paper overhang and transfer to a cutting board. Use a sharp knife to cut into 24 squares, wiping the blade clean between cuts for the neatest presentation.
