Cookie Brownies Recipe

Double down on dessert with this two-in-one Cookie Brownies recipe. Half chocolate chip cookie and half chocolate fudge brownie, this brookie hybrid is a must-try flavor mashup.

They say a picture is worth a thousand words. Therefore, I’m cramming a bunch of photos into this blog post and hoping Google lets me get away without writing diddly this week. I’m lazy and uninspired and it’s not like anything worth repeating happened anyway. It was a quiet couple of days filled with uneventful events. I quit my soul sucking job, hydroplaned while driving in a tropical storm and witnessed my Florida pool sloshing from an earthquake 750 miles away in Haiti.

Like I said (with heavy sarcasm), just the same old same old.

Mother Nature or not, there’s always a cloud of chaos over my head. You won’t hear be complaining about it though. Don’t be mistaken; I am complaining, you just won’t hear it over the blaring hair band music. There’s only two things keeping me from losing my mind: Mötley Crüe and baking. I’m not kidding, if it weren’t for Vince Neil and vanilla extract I’d have my own wing at the local mental hospital.

Today I’m rocking out to “Shout at the Devil” while whipping up something wickedly good: cookie brownies. Also called brookies, these bad boys are the best of both dessert worlds, chewy chocolate chip cookies fused to fudgy brownies. Cheaper than a psychiatrist but just as mind-altering effective, these insane cookie brownies are about to be your new favorite treat.

Before sharing this yummy Cookie Brownies recipe, here are a few tips and tricks to help you out:

To begin with, I always bake with unbleached all-purpose flour. That’s because bleach should only be added to brownies for cheating boyfriends, not brownies you’re eating yourself.

For best results, butter and eggs should be at room temperature before beginning.

Above all, always bake brownies in a shiny metal pan. I do not recommend glass or stoneware pans for brownies due to their prolonged bake times.

Remove brownies from the oven when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. If the batter is still wet then continue baking and check again in one minute increments. Take care to avoid overbaking.

Store cookie brownies in an airtight container at room temperature up to 5 days.

Brownies freeze well up to 2 months when wrapped in plastic wrap then stored in an airtight container. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before serving.
