How to Make Brookies

Preheat your oven to 350°F and spray a baking pan with cooking spray.

2. Make the Brownie Layer

In a medium bowl, stir together the brownie ingredients until well-combined. Spread it evenly in the prepared pan.

3. Make the Cookie Layer

In another medium bowl, stir together the cookie ingredients until a soft dough forms. Dollop small spoonfuls of the cookie dough evenly over the brownie batter—it will spread as it bakes.

4. Bake

Place the pan in the oven and bake for 33 to 38 minutes, or until the brownies are set around edges and a toothpick inserted 2 inches from the side of the pan comes out almost clean. 

5. Cool and Serve

Cool the brookies in the pan on a cooling rack for about 1 hour, then cut into squares and serve.
