BROOKIES INGREDIENTS
You will need:
- 1 box brownie mix, plus the additional ingredients listed on the box (usually water, oil, and eggs)
- 1 stick of salted butter, softened
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1/3 cup light brown sugar
- 1 egg
- 3/4 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup + 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1/.2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoons salt
- 1 1/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
SUBSTITUTIONS AND ADDITIONS
Extra Chocolate Chips: Try sprinkling 1/4 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips or chocolate chunks over top of the brookies before baking for an extra touch of chocolate.
Milk Chocolate Chips: We do not recommend using milk chocolate chips as they tend to burn too quickly. Semi-sweet chips are the way to go!
HOW TO MAKE THIS BROOKIES RECIPE
STEP ONE: Preheat oven to 350F. Line a 9×13 baking dish with parchment paper with overlapping sides so you can easily remove the brookies from the pan and cut into squares.
STEP TWO: Mix up the brownie batter according to the package directions. Pour the batter into the prepared 9×13 baking dish and set aside.
STEP THREE: In a separate bowl, add the softened butter, sugar, brown sugar, egg, and vanilla extract. Using an electric hand mixer, beat until mixture is light and fluffy. Set aside.
STEP FOUR: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
STEP FIVE: Add dry mixture to wet ingredients and stir just until combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.
STEP SIX: Drop spoonfuls of the cookie dough over the top of the brownie batter in the baking dish.
STEP SEVEN: Bake the brookies in the oven at 350F degrees for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the brookies comes out clean.
PRO TIP: Ovens can vary quite a bit, so always rely on the toothpick testing method to tell you when the brookies are done. Your brookies could take up to 40 minutes to bake, depending on your oven. Check the brookies at 30 minutes, then continue to bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
STEP EIGHT: Let cool in the pan 15-20 minutes before serving.
STORAGE
IN THE FRIDGE: Keep the brookies in the pan and covered tightly with plastic wrap or transfer them to a food storage container with a lid. They will keep in the refrigerator for up to five days.
IN THE FREEZER: To freeze the brookies, place them in a zip top bag or an airtight food storage container and freeze for up to three months.
