Notes
For the best fudgy texture, slightly underbake the browkies. Use high-quality cocoa powder for a richer brownie flavor. Make sure the butter for the cookie layer is properly softened to ensure a chewy texture. Store browkies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months. For a richer flavor, try adding a teaspoon of instant espresso powder to the brownie batter. Experiment with different types of chocolate chips or add nuts, pretzels, or other toppings to customize the browkies to your liking.
