Chocolate chip cookies meet brownies in this glorious mashup that has been dubbed the Chocolate Chip Brookie! My pregnant self couldn’t decide between making chocolate chip cookies or brownies, so I came up with these beauties. I tried to hide the fact that they are delicious from my husband and child so I could selfishly devour the entire batch, but they didn’t believe me when I said they were garbage. That’s probably a good thing. I suppose I don’t need to tempt the fate of gestational diabetes. 🙂
Buttery, sweet, and filled with chocolate goodness, you must make these giant cookies!
- Chocolate Chip Cookies
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 1/2 cup AP flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon coarse salt
- 1 cup chocolate chips (I used a good quality semi-sweet chip and some semi-sweet chocolate chunks)
- Brownie Cookie
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 2 oz. baking chocolate squares (I used semi-sweet)
- 2/3 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 cup AP flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon coarse salt
- 1 cup chocolate chips (I used a good quality dark chocolate chip)
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together the butter and sugars for about 2 minutes. Now mix in the egg and vanilla until smooth.
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
- Pour the dry mixture into the wet mixture and mix until just combined.
- Carefully mix in the chocolate chips.
- Place the cookie dough in the fridge to chill while you prepare your brownie cookie batter.
- In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter and 2 oz. of chocolate together, in 20-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth.
- Add the melted chocolate to a mixing bowl and then mix in the sugars and vanilla for 2 minutes.
- Now mix in the egg until combined.
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
- Add the dry mixture to the wet mixture and mix until just combined.
- Carefully mix in the chocolate chips.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper or a nonstick baking mat.
- Use a cookie scoop (I used a 1″ scoop) to scoop out balls of the chocolate chip cookie dough.
- Next use the cookie scoop to scoop out the brownie cookie dough.
- Take one chocolate chip ball and one brownie ball and carefully join them together to form one large cookie dough ball. I placed six large cookies on each cookie sheet to give them plenty of space while they bake.
- Stick the cookie sheets in the freezer for a few minutes before baking, this helps prevent the cookies from spreading too much during the baking process.
- Bake in preheated oven for around 12 minutes.
- Remove from oven and allow the cookies to cool on the pan for a few minutes before removing and cooling completely on a wire cooling rack. Enjoy!
