Ingredients

Scale

Cookie Batter

  • 2/3 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
  • 1 1/2 cups packed light brown sugar
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 3 large eggs
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 cup chocolate chips

Red Velvet Brownie Batter

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon red food coloring
  • 1/2 teaspoon white vinegar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour

Other

  • Cooking spray
  • Sea salt, for sprinkling

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 13×9-inch baking pan with parchment paper, allowing it to hang over two longer sides for easy removal later. Grease the parchment paper with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Make the Cookie Batter: In a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream together 2/3 cup unsalted butter, 1 1/2 cups packed light brown sugar, and 1 cup white sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Scrape down the sides as needed for even mixing.
  3. Add Vanilla, Salt, and Eggs: Beat in 2 teaspoons vanilla extract and 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt until combined. Add 3 large eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition to ensure a smooth mixture.
  4. Incorporate Dry Ingredients and Chocolate Chips: Mix in 3 cups all-purpose flour and 1 teaspoon baking powder until just combined. Avoid overmixing. Fold in 1 cup chocolate chips. Set the cookie batter aside.
  5. Make the Red Velvet Brownie Batter: In a large bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup melted unsalted butter, 1 cup white sugar, 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1 tablespoon red food coloring, 1/2 teaspoon white vinegar, 2 large eggs, and 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt until smooth.
  6. Add Flour to Brownie Batter: Gently fold in 3/4 cup all-purpose flour until just combined, taking care not to overmix to keep the batter light.
  7. Layer the Brookies: Alternately drop scoops of cookie batter and red velvet brownie batter into the prepared baking pan, creating a marbled effect with both batters evenly distributed.
  8. Bake: Bake the brookies on the center rack of the preheated oven for 30 to 40 minutes, or until the cookie dough is golden and the top is fully set. To test doneness, the top should be firm to the touch and no longer jiggly.
  9. Add Finishing Touch: Remove the brookies from the oven and immediately sprinkle them with sea salt to enhance flavor contrast.
  10. Cool Completely: Allow the brookies to cool entirely in the pan on a wire rack. This resting period ensures carryover cooking, resulting in a perfectly baked center that’s not underdone.
  11. Serve: Use the parchment paper overhang to lift the brookies from the pan. Slice and serve as desired. For a fudgier, warm serving, serve immediately after baking with ice cream.

Notes

  • Ensure the brookies are fully set on top before removing from the oven to avoid an undercooked interior.
  • Letting the brookies cool completely in the pan is crucial for the center to finish baking through carryover heat.
  • For a fudgier texture, serve brookies warm immediately after baking, optionally with ice cream.
  • Using parchment paper with an overhang makes removing the brookies easier for slicing and serving.
  • Sprinkling sea salt on top right after baking provides a delicious flavor contrast to the sweetness.
