Layered Broonie: A Delicious Combination of Brownie and Cookie Recipe

Introduction

Broonie is the delightful combination of a rich, fudgy brownie and a chewy cookie baked together into one irresistible treat. This dessert offers the best of both worlds, perfect for those who can’t decide between brownies or cookies.

Ingredients

• Brownie batter (enough for one 9×9-inch pan)
• Cookie dough (enough for one 9×9-inch pan)

Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat your oven according to the brownie recipe’s instructions, usually 350°F (175°C).
2. Step 2: Prepare the brownie batter and cookie dough as directed by their recipes.
3. Step 3: Spread the brownie batter evenly in a greased 9×9-inch baking pan.
4. Step 4: Gently drop spoonfuls of cookie dough over the brownie batter, then spread or pat it lightly to cover as much of the batter as possible.
5. Step 5: Bake in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs but no raw batter.
6. Step 6: Let cool completely before cutting into squares to allow the broonie to set.

Tips & Variations

• For extra texture, add chopped nuts or chocolate chips to the brownie batter or cookie dough.
• Try using different cookie dough flavors, such as peanut butter or oatmeal, to mix up the classic broonie.
• Be careful not to overmix the cookie dough when spreading; a slightly uneven layer will bake up perfectly chewy.

Storage

Store broonies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week. Reheat gently in the microwave for 10–15 seconds to restore softness if desired.

Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

Brownie Batter

• 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, melted
• 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/3 cup (40g) unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1/2 cup (65g) all-purpose flour
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon baking powder

Cookie Dough

• 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened
• 1/2 cup (100g) brown sugar, packed
• 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 1/4 cups (155g) all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup (175g) chocolate chips

Instructions

1. Prepare Brownie Batter: In a medium bowl, whisk together melted butter and sugar until smooth. Add eggs and vanilla extract, mixing well. Sift in cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder, and fold together until fully combined to form the brownie batter.
2. Prepare Cookie Dough: In a separate bowl, cream softened butter with brown and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract. Gradually add flour, baking soda, and salt, mixing to form a smooth dough. Stir in chocolate chips evenly.
3. Layer the Batters: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease an 8×8 inch baking pan. Spread the brownie batter evenly into the pan. Carefully drop spoonfuls of cookie dough over the brownie batter, gently pressing down slightly, but not fully mixing together.
4. Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the brownie portion comes out with moist crumbs but no raw batter, and the cookie dough is set and golden around the edges.
5. Cool and Serve: Allow the broonie to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before cutting into squares. This will help the layers set and make slicing easier.

Notes

• You can use store-bought brownie mix and cookie dough for a quicker version.
• Feel free to customize the cookie dough with different mix-ins like nuts or white chocolate chips.
• Check the bake after 25 minutes to ensure it doesn’t overbake, adjusting time as needed for your oven.
• For easier slicing, refrigerate the broonie for 30 minutes after cooling.
• Use room temperature eggs and butter for best mixing results.
