Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough
- Cream 150 g (⅔ cup) unsalted butter, 135 g (⅔ cup) brown sugar, and 100 g (½ cup) sugar in a separate mixing bowl using a hand mixer, starting on low and gradually increasing to medium speed until light and fluffy.

- Stir in 215 g (1 ¼ cups) chocolate chips.
Combine Cookie Dough
- Scoop both the brownie dough and the chocolate chip cookie dough onto a baking sheet using a small cookie scoop. At this point, the brownie cookie dough is soft but will firm up once it's cold.
- Place the baking sheet in the fridge to chill for 1 hour, or the freezer for 20 minutes.
Bake
- Preheat the oven to 350°F/180°C
- Line a large baking sheet with a piece of parchment paper.
- While the oven is preheating, shape the brookies by combining one of each type of cookie dough and press into one large cookie dough ball. Place brookie dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet 3 inches apart.
- Bake for 18-19 minutes or until the edges of the chocolate chip cookies begin to get golden brown. The exact baking time will vary since all ovens are different so check the cookies at 17 minutes.
- Rest the brookies on the baking sheet before removing them to a wire rack to cool.
Storing and Freezing Instructions
- Allow the brookies to cool completely before placing them into an airtight container. Store at room temperature up to 5 days.
- To freeze brookie cookies, place cooled cookies in a freezer-safe container with as little additional room as possible. Enjoy within 3 months.
- To freeze brookie cookie dough, place combined cookie dough onto a baking sheet and flash freeze for one hour or until frozen solid. Remove the frozen cookie dough balls and place them into a freezer-safe plastic bag, squeezing out as much air as possible, and place back into the freezer. When ready to bake increase the bake time by 1 or 2 minutes.
