Brookie Cookies
These Brookie Cookies are the perfect portions of a chocolate chip cookie and a brownie all in one!
Yep, I’m still on cookies.
I guess it must be that time of the year…you know holiday baking season and all?
Wait, that hasn’t started yet?
Oh.
Kay.
Well, I am on cookies, which means for sure come December when everyone else is making cookies I’ll inevitably be making pie. Or cake. Or brownies.
Sorry.
It’s a hard knock life.
These are Brookie Cookies.
Which actually is sort of a redundant name.
Brookie, as in the Brownie/Chocolate Chip Cookie hybrid that everyone loves so much in cookie form.
So it’s basically a Brownie/Chocolate Chip Cookie cookie.
Half brownie/half chocolate chip…all cookie.
Got that?
These are totally easy…they just take a few steps.
First make a simple chocolate chip cookie dough…
Then grab a box of brownie mix. I like to use the kind that has chocolate chips in it…but that’s a personal preference.
Whisk the mix with a little extra flour…
Then add in some eggs and oil…
Next, grab a spoonful of each dough, squish them together and form them into balls…
Bake them for 9-10 minutes and voila!

I love brownies, and I love cookies, but I never would have thought of putting them together! Shelly this is amazing!
I’m pretty sure I would be a better person with these in my life. For reals!!
Thanks for the linky love, Shelly! Ever since you told me you made cookies similar to mine last week, I have been on the HUNT for this post, waiting patiently to see them and they were worth the wait! So pretty and eyecatching and I bet the textures are both just a big party in your mouth… yum! 🙂 Pinned!
These look perfect! I don’t know anyone who wouldn’t love these. Maybe if my coworkers are lucky… or we’ll eat them all ourselves! 🙂
Hi!!! Just dying here for the brownie cookies…
But I’d like to ask you something. I live in Brazil, and here we dont have Brownie Mix.. I make my own, from scratch. How can I bake this cookie brownies like??
Thanks!
I quit doing box brownie mixes about a month or two ago, but I’m trying to make these for a friend’s birthday mix. I’m going to try it with brownies from scratch and let you know how it goes
oh the best of both worlds!!

The things I would do to have these appear in front of me right now. Oh Loooord.
Love the idea of combining cookies and brownies 🙂
That seriously has to be the coolest cookie I’ve ever seen. I HAVE to make these.
No way, I just made cookie/brownie desert! Similar idea, but still different! I love combing desserts and I LOVE the cookie idea. SO fun and delicious!
Oh my god! Those look awesome, combining two of my favorite desserts!!! YaY!ThEsE lOoK aWeSoMe!! You are NOT alone, I’m in cookie season too!
These are the cookies I dream about at night. Perfection!
What a great idea! You get the best of both worlds!
I’m baking these right now. I bet they are going to be delicious! 🙂
Good grief these look decadent and delicious! Its literally the best of both worlds. Perfect for the upcoming holiday season. These would make great gifts and additions to potlucks and get-togethers.
These remind me of black and white cookies. I want to make some brookies too
Isn’t cookie season year-round?! I most certainly like to think so. Also. Double cookies = double awesome.
How have I never thought of these cookies? You are basically a scientist!!
Cookies all the time any time is my motto! I am loving the two flavors and colors in one cookie!!
I think this might be the smartest cookie invention in the whole entire universe.
These look amazing! I’ll have to make these this weekend! Which brownie mix did you use?
I used Ghirardelli brand!
Thanks! I’m really looking forward to making these 🙂
These are the perfect treat when you can’t decide whether to have brownies or cookies!!! Two in one, can’t argue with that!! Perfection!
oh my goodness, I have been wanting to try brownie cookies (brookies) for a long time now and combined with chocolate chip cookie I don’t think I can resist. Yum!
I love the yin-yan look of this brookies.
Can’t wait to bake a batch this w/end. Love your creations!
Wow! What a yummy idea! Love it!! Never saw a cookie that didn’t call to me. Way better than pie!!
Perfect! Now I don’t have to choose between brownies and cookies!
I can’t wait to make these brookies. They look great. Thanks.
Wow these look so thick and moist, just the way I like my cookies!
I definitely need these in my life!

is that really supposed to be a TBSP of vanilla?
I live on a tropical island in the middle of the ocean. We don’t have seasons. Make whatever you want whenever you want. It’s fine by me. Especially when it’s something as awesome as these babies.
I would love me some of these!! I tried making a brownie with chocolate chip cookies in it before. Aha, but I love this SO MUCH MORE. Mainly because I love cookies more than I love brownies.
I love the name and the concept! Need to put these onto my to-bake list!
You, my friend, are BRILLIANT! Brilliant, I tell you.
Oooh! I am totally going to make these. My nickname is Brooke Cookie 🙂
That’s so cool! I have a friend called Brookie who would LOVE these.
I always have the hardest time deciding between a cookie or a brownie and now I can have them both at once! These look awesome!
These are the best of both worlds!!!
I was super excited when I saw the name of these cookies…because a convenience store in my town sells cookies called Brookies that my friends and I all LOVE! I have a question though…the type sold here have a soft caramel center. How would I go about adding something like that to your recipe? Anyone’s help with this would be greatly appreciated!
I might put a Rolo candy in between the 2 layers and then form the ball around that!
These are great! I sprinkled a little flaked sea salt on the cookies, which was delicious! I had extra chocolate cookie dough left, so I baked those, and topped them w/a melted chocolate chip ‘frosting.’
These might be dinner…
I’m always on cookies, no matter what time of year it is! Especially cookies that are half brownie!
The recipe also calls for 1 full cup of brown sugar… so maybe you accidentally left that out?
I did add the brown sugar in too. S’why this has got me so stumped. Could old flour give that effect? Mine’s not years old, but last time I purchased flour was upwards of six months ago.
It’s possible, yes… but you could easily lessen the flour amount to 2 3/4 cup to make the cookie not quite as “cakey”. I would also say that you may have baked them a touch too long..that’s strictly just a guess though!
It would be helpful if you would provide a link to share this on Facebook. That is how I, and many others I know, save recipes while browsing while sharing them with others, too.
There is a social share box right below every post. Facebook is an option, you can easily share using that.
As always, a thing of genius. I’ll be making these SOON.
..those look scrumptious! ..definitely giving them a try! Thanks so much for all your amazing recipes, Shelly..
how did you form it into a ball? Sorry, I’m new to baking and the brownie portion seems to be too sticky to do so. 😕
Did you use a boxed brownie mix?
You’re a Genius! Hi!! I wanna try this but we don’t have premixes of brownie boxes in our place. and my recipe for brownies is too runny to form it into a ball.
I would add a bit more flour to make to a consistency that will be form-able!
Hi shelly . I love all of these recipes but unfortunately each time that I try baking them myself, they come out as a disaster , I think I can’t convert cup to kg correctly . Can you add kg measurement for people who don’t use cup to your recipes ? Or can you help me convert them to kg ? Keep on your amazing work 😉
Oh I’m so sorry! I would most likely use this type of metric calculator.. http://southernfood.about.com/library/info/blconv.htm
I wish I could post a picture, I’ve been dying to make these for like 3 months and I finially did. Mine ended up a little different then the picture they look like cookies with a strange brownie lump to the side. I’m going to try and make then look a little less weird. XD. I feel like one of those fail baking picture people.
