What is a Brookie Bar?
These marbled cookie brownie bars are also known as “brookies.” A brookie bar is a chocolate chip cookie brownie that’s been cut into squares or rectangles.
This dessert gets its name by combining “brownie” and “cookie,” resulting in “brookie!” I’ve also heard it called a “crownie.”
Domino’s Pizza sells a dessert similar to this that’s well-loved, but I have to say, the homemade version takes the cake!
Brookies are perfect for when you want the best of both worlds and can’t decide between cookies and brownies! The good news is, you don’t have to!
How to Make Marbled Cookie Brownie Bars
It’s really easy to make these decadent bars!
Ingredients You’ll Need:
- Brownie mix plus eggs, water, and oil per box instructions (I use the Ghirardelli brownie mix
- Butter
- Sugar
- Brown Sugar
- Egg
- Vanilla Extract
- All-Purpose Flour
- Salt
- Baking Powder
- Baking Soda
- Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
How to Make It:
Make the brownie layer. First you’ll prepare the brownie layer by mixing the brownie batter i n a mixing bowl, following the instructions on the box. Pour into a prepared pan.
Mix the cookie dough. Next, you’ll cream the butter and sugars together, adding the egg and vanilla extract and mixing until incorporated. Add in the dry ingredients, mixing just until a soft dough forms.
Stir in the chocolate chips. Spoon the chocolate chip cookie dough over the brownie batter and cover the pan with foil.
Bake. Last, you’ll pop the baking dish in the oven and bake for 20 minutes covered, then remove the foil and bake for another 20 minutes uncovered.
I know it’s hard to wait, but let these chocolate chip cookie brownies cool completely before slicing. They’ll be so much easier to cut when cool.
Notes and Adaptations:
- Store in an airtight container so they don’t dry out and become crumbly.
- These marbled cookie brownie bars freeze well! Simply cool completely, cut into squares, and place into a freezer-safe airtight container. If you’re stacking layers, I recommend adding parchment or wax paper in between layers so they don’t stick together.
