A fun treat to make and eat is a mixture of cookie and brownie together.  This concoction is also known as a Brookie! A brookie is a twist of two desserts into a cupcake shape or in this revised post, a cookie bar.

This is a very easy cookie recipe and I would recommend to any beginner, intermediate, or expert baker. I actually made this recipe all by myself while my mom was out doing yard work.

We love the fact that this is a short cut dessert idea,  and it will feed a crowd.  If you don’t want to make homemade brownies   or chocolate chip cookies from scratch find your favorite box mixes.
 
Prepare the brownie and chocolate chip cookie dough recipes per the box instructions.

These dessert bars are perfect for a bake sale or when you need a dessert to feed a crowd.  Cut them as big or as small depending on the need.

The result is the soft brownie and the denser chocolate chip cookie dough baked into one perfect dessert recipe 
 

 If you prefer the cupcake version of Brookies: 

 

Follow the directions on the box or recipe to make batter and dough. 
Fill a cupcake pan and with cupcake liners. We even sprayed the liners with some non-stick cooking spray just as a precaution.

Pour a little bit of of brownie in the cupcake liners. 

 

Then get a tablespoon size clumps of cookie dough. and distribute them between the cupcakes holders. 

 

Pour the rest of the brownie batter over the brownies.

 Bake for 20-30 minutes. Switch the pans around half way though.
Take them out and enjoy.

This Brookies recipe is fun to make and it is fun for the whole family to make and eat. 

Who will you enjoy these brookies with? Do you consider these a brownie, cookie, or cupcake.

 

Pin this for when you cant decide whether you want brownies or cookies for dessert!
