We are better together, right? So why wouldn’t that be the case with our two favorite traditional desserts? This Brookie Cookie recipe was a hit with my family. I had to smack hands away more than once from the cooling rack if that’s saying anything. Plus, the dough comes together fast! You can make the dough logs when you have time and bake fresh cookies later without all the mess!

How to make Easy Brookie Cookies

When I say easy, I mean a beginning baker level easy. To keep things simple we are using 30 ounces of pre-made toll house cookie dough and a box of fudgy brownie mix.

Prepare the Dough

First, put a large sheet of wax paper down on your counter. Take your cookie dough out of the package and roll it out or press it out into a rectangle on top of the wax paper. The dough should be about ¼ inch deep and about 10×15 inches in size.

Next, make your brownie batter according to box directions. Spread an even layer of batter on top of the cookie dough sheet about 1/8 inch to ¼ inch in thickness. You will have batter left over if making a family-sized boxed batter mix or larger.

  • The toll house cookie dough rolled and smashed out into a roughly 10x15 inch rectangle on top of wax paper. Ready for brownie batter.
  • A sheet of cookie dough with brownie batter on top. The being of the easy brookie cookie!

Roll and Freeze

Now we will roll the brookie cookie dough into two logs. Start rolling at one of the shorter ends. Roll a section of dough about 3 inches in length into the center. You will have to pull up and over some so this might seem more like a flop and fold more than a rolling action. Now do this from each end twice or so until you meet in the middle. Try not to roll too tight where you’ll squeeze out brownie batter.

Once, your dough is rolled, transfer the dough on the wax paper onto a cutting board or baking sheet and place it in the freezer. Freeze for at least an hour.

  • The sheet of cookie dough and brownie batter rolled from both ends to meet in the middle forming two logs connected down the center.

Cut and Bake

After the dough is properly chilled, remove and taking a large knife cut the logs down the middle seem to make two separate brookie cookie logs.

Lastly, take one log and cut the log into ½ inch slices. Then cut each slice in half. Place about 12 of these half slices on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Chill the logs in the refrigerator or freeze while waiting to be baked for best results. Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 9-12 minutes or until the batter has formed and the bottoms are browning. Cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet then transfer the cookies to a cooling rack.

  • Freshly baked brookie cookies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Store

Once cooled, store the Brookie Cookies in an air-tight container for up to a week. These chewy cookies are perfect for all occasions whether it be an after school snack or simple holiday dessert, they always seem to go fast! Enjoy!
