Why I love these

  • This satisfies a chocolate craving like no other dessert I know.

  • I've never seen anyone else bring these to a get-together. It's a unique dessert.
  • Easy and quick to make.
  • Not a bunch of fancy ingredients. Just two items to pick up from the store. The rest, I'm sure you have at home.

Ingredients

Brownie Mix - pick up your favorite brownie mix plus the ingredients listed on the box to make.

Eggs - needed for the brownie dough

Oil - For the brownie dough - I use vegetable or canola

Ready-made cookie dough - in the refrigerated section of your grocery store.

Substitutions

If you have a favorite brownie or cookie dough recipe, feel free to make it! As is, this recipe is meant to be super quick and easy.

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350F

Step 1
Prepare brownie mix according to the package directions you are using. This normally involves adding eggs, oil and milk.

Step 2
Place brownie batter into generously sprayed muffin tins. OR, use paper or foil cupcake liners. You only want to fill each well ½ full (or even a touch less).

Step 3
Take prepared cookie dough and make a small disk. This is about ½ the dough of the recommended cookie. This dough disk should float on the brownie batter. It should be small enough that it doesn't touch the edges of the muffin well.

Step 4
Bake for approximately 20-22 minutes. Test with toothpick to see if done.

Step 5
Cool for approximately 15 minutes and remove from muffin tin.

Helpful Hint

This is a helpful brownie hint. If they are not releasing easily from the pan, use a PLASTIC knife to run around your brookie to get it out of the muffin tin. For some reason plastic knives are the best to cut around brownies. Plus, they save your pans!

When I make these, I end up having 18 brookies. If you are a little less generous with the brownie batter, I'm sure you could stretch it to 24.

What a great classroom treat!

FAQs

Can I use muffin liners?

Yes! I like using the foil ones for this recipe.

Can I use a muffin tin with smaller/larger muffin wells.

Of course! You will have to portion the brownie mix accordingly and adjust the baking time.

I've had brookies before with the cookie on the bottom.

Sounds delicious! I haven't made brookies that way but I think they would turn out great. I like people being able to see the cookie.

Storage

These treats store well in the refrigerator. Either keep in a sealed container or wrap with plastic wrap for approximately 5 days.

If you prefer to freeze, I wrap them individually and then place in a freezer bag. It makes it easier to take out individual portions and prevents freezer burn. I have kept them in my freezer for 2 months and they have been fine.

Thaw to room temperature prior to serving.

Ingredients

  • 1 box brownie mix
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • 3 tablespoons water
  • 1 package cookie dough ready made break apart cookie dough

Instructions

  • Make your brownie mix according to the package directions that you are using. This usually involves mixing eggs, oil and milk to the mix and stirring.

  • Generously spray muffin tins with non stick spray. Generously!

  • Put brownie batter into muffin tins. You want to fill each about ½ full or a touch less.

  • Take prepared cookie dough and make a small disk. You want this to 'float' on the brownie batter.

  • Bake for approx. 20-22 minutes at 350 degrees. Make sure you test for doneness. My oven runs hot and often bakes faster than others.

  • Important tip: After your brookies cool for about 10 minutes, take a PLASTIC knife and run it around your brookie to get it out of the muffin tin.

      I have had these as bars. But I haven't made them that way. I would be careful with the baking time.

    I make these often. My family and friends love them. I variate sometimes and put the cookie on the bottom and brownie mix on top. I like them so much better this way. This recipe is so simple and delicious!

    I use non-stick jumbo muffin tins and fill each about 1/4 full because I like these to look like thick cookies (matches what our local bakery does). Otherwise, I follow the recipe as written. Haven't had a problem with them sticking to the pan. These were a big hit when my teenage son brought them as a treat to class.

    How. Much cookie dough is used for each Brookie?

    • momcrieff

      Hi @Karen Wehrheim! I would say, if you make a ball of dough, about an inch in diameter, then flatten to a disk.

    Oooo they sound delicious. I'm a fan of anything chocolate and who doesn't love chocolate chip cookie and brownies. Love that they are in a neat portion size too.

    A friend made brookies last month but the recipe was more complex than I wanted. These were super simple and a hit with my mother-in-law, daughter-in-law, and even the contractor finishing our basement! I gave them to everybody I saw and they all loved them and asked for the recipe. Thanks for doing what you're doing!

    I usually have the hardest time making brownies, but since they're kind of cupcake like, do you think that I could put them in cupcake papers in the cupcake tin? And could I use homemade cookie dough?
    Thank you,
    Hannah

      I think it would work fine! Just make sure you adjust your time for cupcakes instead of a pan of brownies.
