Cook Time: 12 mins
Total Time: 27 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 24 cookies
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1 cup cookie dough
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent the cookies from sticking.
- In a medium saucepan, melt the 1/2 cup of unsalted butter over low heat. Once melted, remove from heat and allow it to cool slightly.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, 1 cup of brown sugar, and 1/2 cup of granulated sugar. Mix well until the sugars are fully incorporated and the mixture is smooth.
- Add the 2 large eggs and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the sugar mixture. Whisk until fully combined and the mixture is light and fluffy.
- In a separate bowl, sift together 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup of cocoa powder, 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Fold in 1 cup of chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the brownie batter.
- In a separate bowl, prepare your cookie dough (you can use store-bought cookie dough or make your own using your favorite cookie recipe). If making your own, combine 1 cup of flour, 1/2 cup of butter, 1/2 cup of sugar, 1 egg, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until smooth.
- Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of brownie batter onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving enough space between each cookie to allow for spreading.
- Using a small spoon or your fingers, take small pieces of the cookie dough and place them on top of the brownie batter. Swirl the cookie dough into the brownie batter gently, creating a marbled effect.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers are slightly soft. Be careful not to overbake as they will continue to cook on the baking sheet after being removed from the oven.
- Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Enjoy your delicious Chocolate Chip Brownie Swirl Cookies, also known as Brookies, with a glass of milk or your favorite beverage!
Tips
- Temperature is Key: Ensure your butter is slightly cooled after melting to prevent a greasy texture.
- Don't Overmix: When combining wet and dry ingredients, mix just until incorporated to keep your brookies tender.
- Swirling Technique: Use a toothpick or the tip of a knife to create beautiful marbled patterns when combining brownie and cookie doughs.
- Cooling Matters: Let the brookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to prevent breaking.
- Storage Tip: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
- Pro Hack: For extra indulgence, sprinkle some sea salt on top before baking to enhance the chocolate flavor.
- Ingredient Quality: Use high-quality cocoa powder and chocolate chips for the most intense flavor.
