Why choose when you can have brownies and cookies in one delicious treat? These Brookies Cookies will satisfy both cravings at the same time!
Brookies Cookies combine two of my favorite things – homemade chocolate brownies and chocolate chip cookies! Maybe you’ve seen brookies bars? Well, I turned the dessert bar into an incredible cookie recipe your whole family will love.
Combine a fudgy brownie with a soft and chewy chocolate chip cookie, and you get brookies cookies! This is is such a fun recipe, and who’s ever going to say no to two desserts combined? No one at my house, I can assure you of that!
I’m not sure where this idea originated, but whoever thought to combine these two treats is a genius! These brownie cookies are right up there with my Rolo stuffed peanut butter cookies and Mississippi mud cookies in the decadence department. I love a great dessert mash-up and brookies cookies are a must-try.
Sometimes I make a batch for just our family, but I love to give them out as gifts, too. A plate of these brookies is a great way to brighten someone’s day.

What makes Brookies so special?
Brookies are a type of dessert that combines brownies and cookies. They’re unique because they have the flavors and textures of both treats in one delicious bite.
Brookies are a delectable hybrid of brownies and cookies, merging the rich and fudgy goodness of brownies with the sweet and chewy texture of cookies.
Brookies are versatile in terms of customization and can be adapted to fit individual tastes. By trying out diverse blends of brownie and cookie dough, and incorporating ingredients like chocolate chips, nuts, or even caramel, you can have so much fun creating your own combinatio.
Bake the cookies: Place the sheet pan in the oven and bake for 10 minutes or until the cookie edges are set and light golden brown. Remove the pans from the oven and cool the cookies on the pan for five minutes. Transfer the cookies to a cooling rack to cool completely.
Storage Tips
Once the cookies are cooled, store them in an airtight container at room temperature. They will keep for two to three days.
Or, place them in a freezer-bag or container and freeze them for up to a month.
You will love pulling a fresh-baked batch of brookie cookies out of the oven! You know I don’t have a favorite cookie recipe – I love them all! – but these chocolate brownie cookie bites are definitely hard to resist.
Treat yourself soon, friends. I know you’re going to love them. Enjoy! XOXO San
