Easy Homemade Brookie Cookies
The ultimate dessert mashup! These easy homemade brookie cookies feature perfectly chewy chocolate chip cookie dough swirled together with an ultra-fudgy, chocolate crinkle cookie dough. It's the absolute best of both worlds in every single bite.
Ingredients
Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough
- 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ tablespoon dry milk powder
- 1 ½ cups chocolate chips a mixture of dark and semi-sweet
- ½ cup unsalted butter softened
- ½ cup light brown sugar packed
- ⅓ cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg room temperature
- 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
Chocolate Dough
- 3 ounces unsalted butter melted
- ¾ cup cocoa powder dutch processed
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 3 large eggs room temperature
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
I always use Kosher salt in my kitchen! If using table salt, start with half the amount and adjust to taste, as it is much "saltier" by volume.
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside.
- For the chocolate chip cookie dough: In a large bowl mix together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, milk powder and salt.
- In a mixer add the butter and both sugars. Cream until the butter is lighter in color and fluffy. Next add in the eggs and vanilla extract. Mix well.
- Slowly add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing just until fully incorporated. Stir in the chocolate chips until fully incorporated.
- For the chocolate cookie dough: In a large mixing bowl combine the melted butter and cocoa powder. Mix until well combined. In a separate mixing bowl (or the bowl of a mixer) whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.
- Add the eggs and vanilla to the cocoa mixture, mix until well combined. Add the cocoa mixture to the dry ingredients and mix until fully incorporated. The mixture is a bit dry and can be a little hard to mix. Keep mixing and it will come together. Using a mixer helps to speed up the process.
- Scoop, Assemble, & Bake: Using a 0.5-ounce cookie scoop (or roughly a heaping tablespoon), scoop out all of your chocolate chip dough portions first and place them on your prepared baking sheets. Next, scoop out a matching portion of the chocolate crinkle dough and place it directly side-by-side with each chocolate chip portion.
- Roll Together: Pick up one pair of side-by-side dough balls and gently roll them together between your palms so the two doughs merge into one beautifully marbled ball. Place it back onto the baking sheet, spacing the cookies about 2 inches apart.
- Flatten & Bake: Lightly press down on the top of each rolled cookie ball with your hand to slightly flatten it out so it bakes evenly.
- Bake at 350°F for 12 to 13 minutes, or until the edges are perfectly set and golden brown, but the centers still look slightly underdone. Enjoy!
Notes
- The Efficient Scoop-and-Roll Method: Because the chocolate crinkle cookie dough is pretty sticky, go ahead and scoop all of your dough portions out side-by-side, starting with the chocolate chip cookie dough, onto the baking sheets first. Once everything is portioned, come back and do all the rolling and light flattening at once. This keeps you from having to wash your hands back and forth, making the process run much smoother! You will have 1 full chocolate crinkle cookie left over at the end.
- Don't Fret Over Milk Powder: While the dry milk powder adds an incredible depth of toasted flavor and extra chewy texture to the chocolate chip half, it can be completely omitted if you don't have it on hand.
- Chewy Cookie Secret: Pulling these out when the centers look just a hair underdone is what guarantees that rich, brownie-like fudginess inside!
