This homemade version delivers the same thick, chewy layers, rich chocolate flavor, and soft-baked goodness in every bite. Whether you’re baking for the kids or just looking for a weekend treat that actually feels like a treat, this creation hits the mark.

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar

Ultimate Chip City Brookie Instructions

  1. Prep the Pan – Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease an 8×8-inch baking dish and line it with parchment paper to make removing the brookies a breeze later.
  2. Make the Brownie Base – In a medium bowl, stir together the melted butter and sugar until smooth. Add the cocoa powder, flour, eggs, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix until the batter is glossy and well combined.
    Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan and smooth it into an even layer.
  3. Mix the Cookie Dough In a separate bowl, cream the softened butter with both sugars until the mixture is light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla.
    Gradually stir in the flour, baking soda, and salt. Once combined, fold in the chocolate chips.
  4. Combine & Bake – Drop spoonfuls of the cookie dough over the brownie batter and gently spread it to cover the surface. It doesn’t have to be perfect—some swirl is part of the fun.
    Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick comes out with just a few moist crumbs.
  5. Cool, Slice & Serve – Let the brookies cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing. Serve warm for that classic, melt-in-your-mouth texture—or store in an airtight container for up to 3 days (if they last that long).
