Craving a batch of freshly baked brookies? Satisfy your brownie and cookie cravings with one easy brookies recipe. Your sweet tooth will thank you!

If you were to ask my my favorite type of math, it would be addition. More specifically, this problem:

BROWNIES + COOKIES = [fill in the blank]

The answer? One of the most delightful desserts you'll ever sink your teeth into: BROOKIES.

Whoever came up with the idea of combining brownie batter and cookie dough was a genius. In fact, I think they should receive an award. More specifically, the "Delightful Double Dessert" award.

This easy brookies recipe takes brownie mix and cookie dough mix and combines them in a 9x13-inch baking pan so it's a cinch to bake them, cut them, and serve them.

It's also a cinch to eat them. Like, the entire pan in one sitting.

No lie—especially if you make a batch with peanut butter cookie mix. Holy yum!

By the way, if you or someone you know loves brownies with edges (give me the corner every time!), you simply MUST buy the Baker's Edge nonstick brownie pan. It is the best thing ever. We totally love ours!

Brookies kind of remind me of my peanut butter swirl brownies. It's that blend of two different flavors for one amazing dessert.

Of course, I also love brownie cookies—no mash up of flavors with these babies. Just solid, rich, chocolate flavor through and through!

    This is totally my type of dessert. It's the best of all worlds. (Though I'm a weirdo and don't like the edges...those are saved for my husband. Give me the gooey inside pieces every time.) Yum!!!!!!

    Made this for friends with a little difference. I made the brownie recipe (Duncan Hines dark chocolate ) as the cake like & in an 11x7 pan. The only thing I could think of is to make the cookie recipe first as the brownies need to be baked at once.

    This was an easy & awesome recipe for chocoholics. I added a few semi sweet chocolate chips between the cookie & brownie too. Everyone loved them. Thanks for the easy but scrumptious recipe.

    how do you incorporate peanut butter?

    Reply

    • Emily Hill

      These brownies don't call for peanut butter so I'm not really sure. Maybe you could add a little to the cookie dough?

    I wonder can I use already made cookie dough and drop pieces into the brownie mixture? 🤔

    Reply

    • Emily Hill

      Maybe? I haven't tried that yet. If you do, let me know how it goes!

    You say don't melt the butter for the cookie, do you incorporate the butter in the cookie dough, not clear to me.

    Thanks,

    Reply

    • Emily Hill

      Yes, you still incorporate it into the cookie dough but you don't want it melted, just softened.

    I’ve been making these for several years, and you can use peanut butter cookie dough, or any flavor you like! Just follow the directions for making the cookie dough from the package and use it on your brownie batter. So good! I’m glad to have written instructions so I don’t have to remember!

    Delighted to find this hack for a dessert item from a well-known chain…
    Not totally pleased with the outcome though, as they were very under-baked.
    I followed the recipe to the letter, and even added 5 minutes to the max as I didn’t think the bottom layer (brownie mix — DH fudge) was done.
    It wasn’t. I wish I had added another 10 minutes. Seriously.
    I would recommend using a cake tester. I like gooey brownies and even the batter — but not when I am trying to cut and serve a dessert.
