10. Step 10: Gently press the dough into the brownie batter to create a marbled effect.
11. Step 11: Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is slightly gooey.

13. Step 13: Once cooled, cut into squares or desired shapes and serve.

Tips & Variations

• For extra gooey brookies, slightly underbake by reducing the baking time by 3-5 minutes.
• Swap out chocolate chips for chunks or a mix of milk and dark chocolate for varied texture and flavor.
• Add a handful of chopped nuts to the cookie dough for added crunch.
• If you want to make the brownies fudgier, use melted butter instead of softened butter in the cookie dough as well.

Storage

Store brookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, refrigerate for up to a week or freeze for up to 3 months. To reheat, warm in the microwave for 10-15 seconds or enjoy at room temperature.

FAQs

Can I use store-bought cookie dough instead of making my own?

Yes, store-bought cookie dough works well as a convenient shortcut. Use about the same quantity as stated in the recipe for best results.

How do I know when the brookies are done baking?

The edges should be set and pulling slightly away from the sides of the pan, while the center remains a bit soft and gooey. A toothpick inserted in the center may come out with a few moist crumbs.
