Ingredients

For the Brownie Layer:

• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/3 cup cocoa powder
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp baking powder

For the Cookie Layer:

• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1 cup chocolate chips
• 1/2 cup colorful candy pieces (M&Ms or similar)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Brownie Layer
   Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). In a bowl, mix melted butter, sugar, eggs, and vanilla. Stir in cocoa, flour, salt, and baking powder until smooth. Spread into a greased 9×9-inch baking pan.
2. Prepare the Cookie Layer
   In a separate bowl, cream butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light. Beat in egg and vanilla. Mix in flour, baking soda, and salt. Fold in chocolate chips and candy pieces.
3. Assemble and Bake
   Drop spoonfuls of the cookie dough over the brownie layer, spreading lightly but leaving some gaps. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 25–30 minutes until the top is set but still slightly gooey in the center.
4. Cool and Serve
   Let brookies cool for 10–15 minutes before slicing. Serve warm for gooey perfection.
