Step-by-Step Instructions of best Fudgy Chewy Brookies

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch (20×20 cm) baking pan with parchment paper.

2. Make the Brownie Batter:

• Melt butter and chocolate together. Stir until smooth.
• Whisk in brown sugar, white sugar, eggs, and vanilla.
• Fold in cocoa powder, flour, and salt.

3. Make the Cookie Dough:

• Cream butter and sugars together until fluffy.
• Add egg and vanilla, mixing well.
• Stir in flour, baking soda, and chocolate chips.

4. Assemble:

• Spread brownie batter evenly into the pan.
• Drop cookie dough by spoonfuls on top.
• Gently swirl with a knife (optional).

5. Bake:

• Bake for 30–35 minutes. Insert a toothpick; if it comes out with a few moist crumbs, it’s done!
• Cool completely before slicing for clean cuts.

Top Tips for Perfect Brookies

• Don’t Overbake: Pull them out when some moist crumbs still stick to the toothpick.
• Use High-Quality Cocoa Powder: It makes a noticeable difference.
• Optional Chill: Chill cookie dough for 10 minutes for extra chewiness.
• Swirl Gently: Over-mixing ruins the distinct textures.
