Instructions

Prepare the Brownie Layer

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x9 inch baking dish.
In a bowl, combine melted butter and sugar, then mix well.
Add eggs and vanilla, stir until combined.
Incorporate cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder, stirring until smooth.
Pour the brownie layer into the prepared baking dish.

Prepare the Cookie Layer

In another bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
Mix in the egg and vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
Fold in the chocolate chips.
Drop spoonfuls of the cookie dough over the brownie layer in the baking dish.

Bake

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with moist crumbs.
Let cool before cutting into squares.

Enjoy your delicious browkies with a glass of milk or your favorite beverage!

Tips for Success

To ensure your browkies turn out perfectly every time, use room temperature ingredients where specified. This helps them blend more easily and contributes to the desired texture. Additionally, be careful not to overmix your batter after adding the dry ingredients, as this can lead to tougher browkies instead of the desired fudge-like consistency.

Investing in a good quality baking pan can also make a difference in how evenly your browkies bake. A light, non-stick metal pan is ideal for achieving that perfect gooey center. Always adjust baking times based on your oven and the specific pan you use for optimal results.

Storage and Serving Suggestions

To keep your browkies fresh, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. If you want to extend their shelf life, they can be frozen. Just be sure to wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and then place them in a resealable bag. When you’re ready to enjoy, thaw them at room temperature or warm them for a few seconds in the microwave for that freshly baked taste.

For an extra indulgent treat, serve your browkies warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top. Drizzling with chocolate or caramel sauce adds an elegant touch, transforming a simple dessert into a show-stopping treat that’s perfect for any celebration.
