Can't decide between a fudgy brownie or a classic chocolate chip cookie??? No worries!

Once upon a time, a very smart lady invented brookies- basically a brownie mixed with a chocolate chip cookie! Imagine marbled layers of chewy brownies and buttery chocolate chip cookies- AKA dessert nirvana!

Now, you can bake this simple, but fun treat from basic pantry ingredients. Simply mix your favorite brownie batter- you can use Grandma's recipe or even a boxed mix. Then, sprinkle the brownie batter with your favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe! I have a really good gluten free one- The BEST Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Cookies.

It will take longer to bake than brownies or chocolate chip cookies alone, but the wait is totally worth it for this ultimate classic dessert!

And, brookies bars are perfect for serving a crowd!

Serve with a glass of milk or vanilla ice cream for best results.

Who invented Brookies?

Brookies were invented in Los Angeles by Jovon English. After a break-up, she couldn't decide between indulging in a cookie or a brownie, so she decided to combine the two! In 2014, she went on to launch Milk + Brookies in Los Angeles.

Easily Customize This Recipe

• Baking Chips. Semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips toffee, mint, cinnamon, butterscotch, caramel, peanut butter, white chocolate
• Nuts. Consider adding some nuts for crunch and saltiness. Pecans would be my top pick, but almonds, walnuts, peanuts, pistachios, and/or macadamia nuts would work well too.
• M&Ms. For some fun color and a sweet crunch, add about 1 cup of regular or mini M&Ms.
• Coconut. If you love coconut as much as me, sprinkle unsweetened flakes over the top before baking.
• Sweet Syrup. For an extra sweet treat- drizzle with chocolate syrup, hot fudge, caramel, butterscotch, or marshmallow.
• Sprinkles. Sprinkles make everything better!
