Easy Brookie Bars with Brownie Mix and Cookie Dough

These brookie bars are the dessert you didn’t know you needed—until now. A thick, fudgy brownie layer topped with chocolate chip cookie dough, all baked together in one pan. And the best part? You can make them with a boxed brownie mix and store-bought cookie dough, so dessert is basically done in a snap.

Ingredients

1 box brownie mix
2 large eggs for the brownie batter
½ cup vegetable oil for the brownie batter
2 tablespoons water for the brownie batter
½ package cookie dough ready made break apart cookie dough

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350ºF. Line 9 x 13 inch baking dish with parchment.
Make your brownie mix according to the package directions that you are using. This usually involves mixing eggs, oil and milk to the mix and stirring.
If my egg, oil or water amounts are slightly different, use the amount stated on the box. Different brands may vary just a bit.
Pour all the brownie batter into the parchment lined baking dish.
Take prepared cookie dough and make a small disk. You want this to 'float' on the brownie batter. It should be smaller than the muffin well. You should be able to see about little brownie batter around the edges. If you want, you can put more cookie dough but I like to have basically a cookie per serving piece.
Bake for approx. 30 minutes at 350 degrees. Make sure you test for doneness. Toothpick should come out with moist crumbs.
Allow to cool for at least 10 minutes prior to cutting. If you used parchment, you can lift the whole brookie out, and then slice on a flat surface.

Notes

FAQ

Can I put the cookie dough on the bottom?
You can! I like to have the cookie dough on top so you can see both layers, but it will still taste delicious the other way.

Storage

Store leftover brookie bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the fridge for up to 5.

To freeze, I wrap each bar individually in plastic wrap, then place them in a freezer-safe bag. They keep well for up to 2 months. Just thaw at room temp or pop one in the microwave for a quick chocolate fix.
