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!
Brookie Cookies.

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.
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
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!
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?
I love this recipe and had made it twice before! People keep asking me for your recipe! Do you think I could freeze the cookie dough in individually wrap balls? I have to make cookies for tonight, but I also need cookies for Tuesday. I do not have a lot of time in between today and Tuesday so I would like to get it all done today. Also, I think the cookies might get a little stale, if I bake them all today. In past experiences with freezing cookie dough indivually has worked out great but I do not know how the brownie dough would freeze. Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated! Love your site and your recipes!
..those look scrumptious! ..definitely giving them a try! Thanks so much for all your amazing recipes, Shelly..
As always, a thing of genius. I’ll be making these SOON.
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.
Hey there Shelly!
I just wanted to leave this comment – I recently tried your recipe, and while I was completely ecstatic about the idea, I hate to say that they did not come out too great! 🙁
The brownies were good, however the cookies seemed very “bread-like” in texture. The outside formed a crisp crust, while the inside stayed soft and fairly good. At first, I thought I had accidentally added too much flour – I double and triple checked the recipe, and I’m a meticulous measurer as is.
I was looking through all of my other recipes, trying to compare and see where the problem could lie. The big thing I’m noticing is the VAST difference in sugar…. most of my other family recipes seem to call for 1 cup, where this one called for 1/4th cup. Others also call for slightly more vanilla extract, but 2tsp vs 1tbsp shouldn’t make a *huge* difference.
Definitely get back to me if you have a chance! I’ve tried your other recipes and they’ve all come out good, so I have no doubt you are an AWESOME baker. I’m just trying to troubleshoot where this problem is coming from!
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!
The recipe calls for 2 1/2 cup flour so why did you say lessen the flour to 2 3/4 ? I used 2 1/2 cup flour and mine were to stickey to roll into a ball
Oops! Just a typo…I meant 2 1/4!
I’m always on cookies, no matter what time of year it is! Especially cookies that are half brownie!
