Chef's tip

🍪🍫 For a little extra, you can even try customizing the cookie layer by adding pecans or caramel bits for some added crunch.

Freezing : Can you freeze this recipe?

Yes

Freezes very well, up to 2-3 months, cut into portions, in an airtight freezer bag. Thaw at room temperature.

Storage : How long does it keep?

Keeps for 3 to 4 days max in an airtight container at room temperature or in the fridge.

Making ahead : Can you make it the day before?

Yes

Can be made a day ahead. Store at room temperature or in the fridge once completely cooled.

Reheating : How do you reheat it?

Preheated oven at 150°C for 5-7 minutes to bring back the softness. Air fryer works too, 3-4 minutes at 140°C. Microwave not recommended (changes the texture).

Variations

Replace the chocolate chips with milk or white chocolate chunks.
Add chopped walnuts or hazelnuts to the cookie dough.
Serve a warm square with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Mistakes to avoid

Forgetting the parchment paper: line the pan so the brookie comes out easily and cuts into neat squares.
Cutting too soon: let it cool for 1 hour in the pan before cutting into squares.
Adding all the eggs at once to the brownie batter: mix them in one at a time with the sugar.

Frequently asked questions

What is a brookie?

A brookie is an American hybrid dessert: a layer of chocolate brownie and a layer of chocolate chip cookie, baked together. Its texture is half fudgy, half crunchy, and it is a very rich treat.

How do you make a brookie?

Pour the brownie batter (chocolate melted over a double boiler, butter, sugar, eggs, flour, cocoa) into a lined pan, then spread the cookie dough made with softened butter, sugars, an egg and chocolate chips over the top. Bake both layers together.

How long does a brookie bake?

Bake the brookie for 30 minutes at 180 °C in a pan lined with parchment paper. Then let it cool for 1 hour in the pan before cutting it into squares: it is easier to cut once cooled.

How many servings does a brookie make?

This recipe makes 12 brookies once cut into squares. The two layers are prepared separately: one with melted chocolate, the other with softened butter, brown and white sugar, and chocolate chips.
