Brookies Cookies (Brownie + Chocolate Chip Cookie)
This post may contain affiliate links. Please read our disclosure policy.
Brookies Cookies are the cookies you want when you’re craving both brownies and chocolate chip cookies!
This recipe combines my famous Kroll’s Kookies recipe and a slightly modified version of these brownie cookies.
And if you’ve had Kroll’s Kookies you already know these are going to be AWESOME. Too often I am craving decadent brownies and ooey-gooey chocolate chip cookies and these totally satisfy my sweet tooth cravings. It’s the perfect marriage of flavors.
Plus, they’re so pretty too right? I love the marbled, swirly look. It makes them even that much more appealing!
- They’re perfect for indecisive moments
- It’s a delicious mashup of your 2 favorite desserts
- Always a hit with family and friends
- They’re freezer friendly
- They’re soft, chewy, chocolate-y and FUN!
Ingredient Notes
These cookies have your usual cookie ingredients like butter, brown sugar, baking powder, All-Purpose flour, eggs, baking soda and salt. There are a few ingredients I add that set these apart:
You can scroll down to the recipe card for the full list of ingredients and measurements.
- Cake Flour: (spooned and leveled): If you know me and my cookies, you know I love adding cake flour with all-purpose flour to make the perfect cookie! The chocolate chip cookie part of these brookies uses cake flour, you won’t need any more cake flour for the brownie batter.
- Corn Starch: key ingredient to making thick, big cookies.
- Cocoa powder: I use an unsweetened cocoa powder. I’ve used the Hershey’s Special Dark cocoa powder before too and it’s delicious!
- Chocolate Chips: feel free to use your favorite morsels: milk chocolate, semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips.
Step by Step Directions
These cookies essentially take 2 cookie doughs and bring them together to create one delicious cookie. So yes, you do have to make 2 separate cookie doughs, but it’s not hard at all!
Plus, you already will have a majority of the ingredients out on your counter and ready to go ?
Be sure to scroll down to the recipe card for the full recipe instructions.
- Make the chocolate chip cookie dough and place the dough in the fridge.
- Make the brownie batter cookie dough and place in the fridge.
- Preheat the oven to 400°F
- Remove the chocolate chip dough from the fridge and using a food scale, weight out 1.25 oz. portions and roll into small balls. Place on a parchment paper lined baking sheet or plate and repeat with remaining dough.
- Repeat same process for the brownie cookie dough.
- Each cookie will have 2 chocolate chip balls and 2 brownie batter balls to create a 5 oz. cookie. Layer a chocolate chip cookie ball, then a brownie, then chocolate chip and brownie together. Roll these portions together into a ball so they slightly marble into each other.
- Split the ball of dough in half and rotate on of the halves vertically 180 degrees and then roll the ball back together between the palms of your hands.
- Repeat with remaining dough. Will make 13-14 cookies (depending on how you measured your flour, chocolate chips used, etc.)
- Place cookies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- Bake for 10-11 minutes. Allow to cool on cookie sheet for 10-15 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack to cool completely.
- Make both of the cookie doughs a day in advance so when you’re ready to bake the cookies, you can just form into cookie dough balls and pop them in the oven!
- Grab the kids and get some help rolling the cookie dough into balls! It makes for fun family time in the kitchen.
- If you don’t have cake flour, it’s OK. You can use All-Purpose flour in it’s place.
- Let the cookies rest: If your cookies are turning out too gooey, let them rest longer. I recommend at least 15 minutes on the cookie sheet and then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.
- Spoon and Level: Make sure to spoon the flour into your measuring cup and level it off with the back of a knife instead of scooping the flour with your measuring cup.

I make a handful of cookies for my husband’s work each Christmas and add a new cookie every year, these were my newest cookie choice, and let me tell you, they were DELICIOUS! A HUGE hit from all the employees. The loved the combination of brownie & classic chocolate chip cookies. My family thought they were yummy too, great chocolate balance & of course the dough was phenomenal! I baked mine a little longer, but that’s just because we like the cookies a little crisper. Aside from that, no other changes. I ended up saving a handful for us at home. Thanks Tawnie for this recipe ❤️
They look so pretty on your cookie tray! thank you soo much Jamie!!
I do not see where the video is posted? Can’t wait to make these!
it’s in the recipe card towards the bottom:)
Is the 10-11 min bake time for the large size cookies? Is it the same for the small cookies?
Good question, in my oven the small cookies bake for ~8 minutes. So I would keep an eye on them! 🙂
Hello! With this recipe, do the cookies turn out as large and chunky as the Krolls Cookie?
Yes! 🙂 can’t wait to hear what you think!
I just read over this post and I’m super eager to try the recipe out. You expressed that you like to use cake flour and all purpose flour together which I love to do the same thing. While looking over the recipes I noticed that cake flour was not on there, do you just do half the amount of 1 3/4 cup with cake and all purpose flour?
Thanks again,
Jasmine
Hi Jasmine! Thank you! On the kroll’s kookies recipe I have linked in the recipe card, that is where I am using cake flour 🙂 https://krollskorner.com/recipes/desserts/krolls-kookies/
Hi! I love all of your recipes. I have a question for this one, I want to use this recipe to make Nucita cookies, so I will stuff them with Nucita.
Do you think I can change the 4oz melted chocolate chips for Hazelnut Cream instead? If so, should I use 4oz Hazelnut cream?
Thanks!
Hello! Thank you so much. I havent tested it out that way so I cant say for sure. if you try it out, let us know how it goes 🙂
Perfect! Will do. Thanks! I would love to see a huge Cookie Monster Cookie from you or a huge Strawberry cookie one day. I hope to make all of the huge cookies on your website. You’re a blessing.
I have these ones you might like: https://krollskorner.com/recipes/desserts/strawberry-shortcake-cookies/ Thank you!! 🙂
Mine flattened. ? I made your choc chip a few days ago & they were perfect. These we cold when I formed into balls. Any ideas how to trouble shoot?
Hi Leanna! Oh no! That’s strange. I’m so sorry! Did you refrigerate the brownie cookie dough? Did you line your baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat? I’ve made these tons of times and that’s never happened. I’m maybe thinking you need a little more flour or chill time.
Hun am i able to get this in metric by any chance it doesnt have the option like ur other recipes xx
Hello! yes, the post has it in the recipe card 🙂 I hope you love!
Question – for the chocolate chip cookie recipe, is it for the 6 servings (default) or should it be more? Can’t wait to try!
Hi Natalie! It’s the same recipe, exactly as written 🙂 It will be enough dough since the recipe make 6 pretty large cookies! Hope you love this recipe! xo, Tawnie
Delish!!
Thank you so much!!
