Ingredients
  

For the Fudgy Brownie Layer
  • 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter Adds richness and moisture; margarine can be used as a substitute.
  • 3/4 cup Light Brown Sugar Provides moisture and a caramel-like flavor; dark brown sugar works for a deeper taste.
  • 1/4 cup Granulated Sugar Contributes sweetness and tenderness to the dough.
  • 1 large Egg Binds the ingredients and aids in rising; ensure it’s at room temperature for the best texture.
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract Elevates the flavor; for optimal results, use pure vanilla.
  • 1/3 cup Dutch-Process Cocoa Powder Infuses a rich chocolate flavor; unsweetened cocoa powder can be used in a pinch.
  • 1/2 cup All-Purpose Flour Helps to create the cookie’s structure.
  • 1/4 teaspoon Baking Soda Ensures the cookies puff up nicely.
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt Enhances overall flavor.
  • 1 tablespoon Cornstarch Helps achieve a soft texture; omitting it may lead to excessive spreading.
For the Chocolate Chip Cookie Layer
  • 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter Creamed cold for a fluffier texture; can substitute with margarine if necessary.
  • 3/4 cup Light Brown Sugar Adds moisture and a touch of caramel; feel free to switch to dark brown sugar for extra depth.
  • 1/4 cup Granulated Sugar Balances sweetness with texture.
  • 1 large Egg Essential for binding and fluffiness; using both the whole egg and yolk adds richness.
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract Elevates the flavor; choose pure vanilla for best results.
  • 1/2 cup All-Purpose Flour Provides the foundation for the cookie’s body.
  • 1/4 teaspoon Baking Soda A crucial element for rise and softness.
  • 1 cup Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips Infuses the cookies with chocolatey goodness; milk chocolate or dark chocolate chips work great too.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Brookies Cookies
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Cream together unsalted butter with light brown and granulated sugars until fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. Add one egg and vanilla extract, mixing until combined. Fold in the dry ingredients and chocolate chips.
  3. In another bowl, cream cold unsalted butter with the remaining sugars until fluffy. Add the egg and yolk, and mix. Whisk together the dry ingredients, then add to the wet mixture and fold in chocolate chips.
  4. Form equal-sized balls from both doughs and gently press them together.
  5. Place the dough balls on the prepared baking sheets and bake for 8-9 minutes until edges are set and centers are slightly puffy.
  6. Cool the cookies on the sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Optionally sprinkle with flaky sea salt while warm.
