Brookie Recipe Using Brownie Mix
Try this easy and delicious brookie recipe using brownie mix for the perfect combination of fudgy brownies and chewy cookies. A treat everyone will love!
Ingredients
- 1 box of brownie mix any brand will do, but for extra richness, try a premium mix like Ghirardelli or Betty Crocker
- 2 large eggs – These will help bind everything together and give your brookies a rich texture.
- 1/2 cup of butter melted – This adds that lovely, moist, fudgy consistency to the brownie layer.
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract – A touch of vanilla gives the brownie base an extra layer of flavor.
- 1 cup of chocolate chip cookie dough store-bought or homemade – For that chewy, golden top layer, the chocolate chip cookie dough is the perfect companion to the brownie base.
- 1/2 cup of chocolate chips optional – If you love extra chocolatey treats, toss in some chocolate chips for added indulgence!
Instructions
Preheat the Oven
- Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures that the brownies bake evenly and come out with that perfect, fudgy texture.
Prepare the Brownie Batter
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the brownie mix, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Stir everything together until just combined—no need to overmix, as this can make the brownies too dense. If you’re adding chocolate chips, fold them into the batter for extra chocolatey goodness!
Layer the Brownie Base
- Grease or line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper for easy removal. Pour the brownie batter into the dish and spread it out evenly. This will be your decadent, fudgy brownie base.
Add the Cookie Dough
- Gently spoon the chocolate chip cookie dough over the brownie layer, spreading it out as evenly as possible. Don’t worry if it’s not perfect—this step is all about getting that perfect cookie-crust on top. It’s okay if a bit of the brownie layer shows through.
Bake to Perfection
- Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs (not wet batter). Keep an eye on the brookies to make sure the cookie layer doesn't over-brown—if it does, simply cover it loosely with foil for the last 5-10 minutes.
Cool and Serve
- Once baked, let the brookies cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. Allow them to cool completely before cutting them into squares to get those perfect slices of brownie-cookie goodness.
