I don’t know if you have had the pleasure of enjoying Brookies yet, have you?? These masterful cookies are a fabulous mash-up of brownies and cookies ALL IN ONE. Brownie+Cookies=Brookies

These Brookies from scratch feature chocolate chip cookie dough and brownie dough made into cookies rolled together and baked up into the best thing you’ll put in your mouth all year. BROOKIES.

Why make Brookies?

Why not, right? There’s no better reason for baking than why not. Sometimes you don’t know what you want to bake and sometimes you have a difficult crowd to please. No matter what they’ll love these brookies from scratch.

BUT if you need a reason these cookies are great for:

• Parties
• Baby Showers-especially fun when you don’t know the gender they can signify either/or in a fun way
• Bake Sales
• Potlucks
• Christmas
• ANY OTHER TIME YOU NEED A GREAT COOKIE!

My OTHER Favorite Cookie Recipes

• Texas Sheet Cake Cookies. These are arguably the most popular cookies on my site. When You bake them you’ll know why, they’re dense and fudgy and chocolate cookie perfection!
• Kitchen Sink Cookies. These are going to be a very close runner-up popularity-wise with the Texas Sheet Cake Cookies. Filled with 2 kinds of chocolate, toffee pieces, and pretzels, they are truly delicious cookies.
• Florentines. These thin and crispy cookies are made with less flour to make them spread out. Filled with fruits and nuts these cookies are snappy and crispy.
• Snickerdoodle Bars. These are just like snickerdoodles except they’re baked in bars instead of dropped one by one. DELICIOUS!
• Carrot Cake Bars. Everything you love in carrot cake but in bar form. Crispy base, sweet filling, and even has a sweet cream cheese drizzle of icing!

What do I need to Make Brookies From Scratch?

• flour
• butter
• chocolate chips
• dutch process cocoa
• instant coffee or espresso powder
• salt
• baking soda
• sugar

Recipe Substitutions

This recipe does ok with recipe substitutions. You could use margarine in the dough just be aware that the cookies may spread more as margarine has more water in it. I would not use other flour in the recipe unless you’re using a 1:1 baking flour substitution.

Recipe Variations

You can add different kinds of chocolate chips to the recipe. OR swap them out for white chocolate. Also adding toffee bits wouldn’t hurt these one bit. The same goes for peanut butter chips. Variations are good!
