You don’t have to choose between brownies or chocolate chip cookies with this recipe!
Background: This Brookie Bar recipe combines two great desserts, brownies and chocolate chip cookies. Does it get any better than that? It sure does! The Oreo Cookie adds a layer of crunch and flavor that you will love! For this recipe, we made our batters from scratch. You can serve them warmed with a scoop of ice cream or at room temperature. They are a fun dessert for BBQs or special occasions!
Chocolate Chip Cookie Layer
- 1 cup butter melted and cooled
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/4 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Brownie Layer
- 2/3 cup butter cubed
- 8 ounces semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 2/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
Oreo Cookie Layer
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a 9×13 pan with parchment paper, allowing it to hang over on the sides.
- For Chocolate Chip Cookie Layer, beat melted butter and sugars together using a mixer. Beat in the eggs and vanilla extract. On low speed mix in the flour and salt. Use a rubber spatula to fold in the chocolate chips. Spread evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan.
- Place Oreo cookies on cookie dough layer, 4 rows of 6 cookies, pressing down slightly.
- For Brownie Layer, add butter and chocolate to a glass bowl. Using the double boiler method, melt until smooth. In a separate bowl, beat together the eggs and sugar. Whisk the chocolate mixture into the egg mixture. Gently fold in the flour, cocoa powder and salt using rubber spatula. Pour the brownie mixture over the Oreo layer, using the spatula to smooth it out as necessary.
- Bake the Brookie Bars in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until an inserted toothpick comes out dry or with a few damp crumbs. Check your bars at the 45 minute mark to make sure the top isn’t burning. Cover with foil for the remainder cook time (if necessary) to prevent any burning.
- Cool Brookie Bars for a minimum of 4 hours before cutting. This will allow for nice, clean cuts.

Does the cookie layer really not have flour in it? I’m wanting to make this but not sure how it’ll work if there’s no flour
Hi Laura! Thank you for catching that! The cookie layer uses 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour. Let us know what you think if you decide to make them! They’re always a big hit for us.
