Make Brown Butter:

In a small saucepan, melt ½ cup butter over medium heat. Stir until golden brown with a nutty aroma. Let it cool slightly.

In a bowl, mix browned butter, brown sugar, and white sugar.

Assemble Brookies:
-
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment.
-
Spread the brownie batter evenly on the bottom.
-
Drop spoonfuls of cookie dough over the top, then gently spread.

-
Bake:
-
Bake for 30–35 minutes, until the edges are set but the center is slightly gooey.

Cool for at least 20 minutes before slicing into squares.

Notes
-
Storage: Keep brookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days, or refrigerate for up to a week.
-
Freezing: Slice and freeze individually for up to 2 months. Warm in the microwave before serving.
-
Pan Size: An 8×8 pan gives thick brookies; use a 9×13 pan for thinner bars (reduce baking time slightly).
-
Texture Tip: For extra fudgy brownies, slightly underbake and let them set while cooling.
