The other day, my daughter came home with a fun baking idea. She wanted to make fudgy Brookie Bars. If you’re wondering what those are, it’s basically the best of both worlds: a rich brownie base with a gooey chocolate chip cookie layer baked on top.
Of course, I said yes, please! I mean, what could be better than brownies and cookies in one bite? This recipe is super easy, totally kid-friendly, and the end result tastes like something you’d get at a fancy dessert spot.
She was so excited to make them, and they turned out so delicious, I had to share the best brookie recipe with you! We used a box brownie mix that came with a Hershey’s syrup packet, and that drizzle at the end really took the flavor to the next level. Trust me, you need to try this brookie bar recipe!
If you can not find the premade brownies with the Hershey’s syrup included, just use the bottle version of Hershey’s syrup. It is the same thing.
I opted for the easy version by using mixes, but you can always use your own recipe or a mix of your choice for the brownies and cookies if you wish.

Best Brookie Recipe: Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Brownie Bars
Ingredients:
- 1 box Betty Crocker Original Supreme Brownie mix with Hershey’s Syrup pouch
- Large eggs, water, and oil for the brownies
- 1 16.5 Nestle Toll House Chocolate Chip pre-made Cookie Dough
Instructions:
- Mix up the brownie batter in a medium bowl per directions on the box.
- Spray pan with cooking spray or line with parchment paper.
- Brownie layer: Pour the brownie mixture into a 13 x 9 metal pan and spread it out evenly.
- Cut the cookie dough into ¼-inch slices.
- Cookie layer: Place slices of dough on top of the brownies and gently wiggle them down into the brownie mix. (Use spoonfuls of homemade cookie dough instead of slices).
5. Bake in an oven for 25-30 minutes.
6. Let them cool for 15 minutes.
7. Slice and drizzle the brookie with Hershey’s syrup pouch and enjoy!
Store in an airtight container for up to a week.
How to tell when brownies are done baking:
Insert a toothpick into the brownies, and if it comes out with a few moist crumbs still clinging, it is ready. If you see batter sticking to the toothpick, keep baking. You can also check for cracks in the shiny top. The edges will be visibly done and the center set, not jiggly when shaken.

Any recommendation for an egg substitute? Want to make them for my son who has an egg allergy.
Hi Dana, I do not have a recommendation other than using an egg free brownie recipe or mix if it’s available and an egg free chocolate chip cookie recipe or mix. I can no longer eat eggs either, but I am able to eat baked goods. Sorry about that.
Could you use pre cut refrigerated cookie dough?
Yes, but you may need 2 packages to make a 9×13 pan.
OMG, This looks like a extremely delicious new way of indulging in chocolate. I will be try these for sure. I may try them with Peanut Butter Cookies instead of chocolate chip. Even Sugar Cookies during the holidays. Warm out of the oven with a scoop of ice cream drizzled in hot fudge. That would be decadent. Thanks for sharing Brookies. **
Just pulled these out of the oven. Look fabulous! I opted for box brownies and scratch cookies. I just dropped lumps of cookie dough in randomly. Worked like a charm. Can’t wait for them to cool down so I can eat one! Thanks for a great recipe.
Glad you liked them Jen! They are pretty addicting.

Can u use any brand of boxed brownie mix? Instead of BC?
Hi Lisa,
Yes you can use any brand.
Kim
can you use any type of brownie mix and any brand on the cookie dough? i’m scared it will burn
Hi Naomi,
Yes you can use what ever brand you like or even make them from scratch. Just keep an eye on the timing. I would go by the brownie time.
Kim
