Ingredients
Scale
- For the Brown Butter Cookie Dough:
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chunks or chips
- For the Fudgy Brownie Batter:
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chunks
Instructions
- Brown the butter over medium heat until golden, nutty, and fragrant. Let it cool slightly.
- Mix browned butter with sugars, then beat in the egg and vanilla. Stir in dry ingredients, then fold in chocolate chunks.
- Melt butter, mix with sugars, then whisk in eggs and vanilla. Add cocoa, flour, and salt until just combined. Fold in more chocolate chunks.
- Grease or line an 8×8 pan. Drop spoonfuls of brownie and cookie dough randomly into the pan. Swirl lightly with a knife.
- Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 25–30 minutes until the edges are set and the center is still a bit gooey. Cool before slicing.
Notes
- Let the browned butter cool slightly before using to prevent scrambling the eggs.
- Do not overmix the brownie batter for a fudgy texture.
- For clean slices, let the brookies cool completely before cutting.
