It’s such a crowd-pleaser, and the best part? You get the fudgy goodness of brownies and the chewy delight of cookies all in one treat. Trust me, once you try making brookie yancey, you’ll be hooked! Perfect for any occasion, or just because you deserve something sweet today!
Ingredients List
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
- 2 cups packed brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup cookie dough (store-bought or homemade)
How to Prepare brookie yancey
- First things first, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This step is crucial for getting that perfect bake!
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and packed brown sugar until it’s light and fluffy. This is where the magic starts—trust me, it smells divine!
- Add in the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then stir in the pure vanilla extract for that extra flavor boost.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, and salt. Make sure there are no lumps—nobody likes a surprise clump of cocoa!
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, folding gently until just combined. You want to keep that airy texture, so don’t overmix!
- Now, fold in those glorious semi-sweet chocolate chips. This is my favorite part—chocolate everywhere!
- Spread the brownie batter evenly in a greased baking pan. Make sure to get it nice and smooth for even baking.
- Next, take spoonfuls of cookie dough and drop them right on top of the brownie batter. Don’t worry about spreading it out; it’ll melt and create that delicious combination.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes. I recommend checking with a toothpick—if it comes out clean, you’re good to go!
- Once baked, let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack. This cooling time is key to getting those perfect squares later!

Tips for Success
Okay, let’s make sure your brookie yancey turns out absolutely perfect! First, if you want a nuttier flavor, feel free to toss in some chopped walnuts or pecans into the brownie batter. Just be careful not to overmix once you add the dry ingredients—this keeps your brookies delightfully tender. For an extra chewy texture, chill your cookie dough for about 30 minutes before dropping it on top of the brownie batter. And remember, every oven is a bit different, so start checking for doneness at the 25-minute mark; you want a toothpick to come out with a few moist crumbs, not completely clean. Trust me, it’ll be worth it!
Serving Suggestions
- A scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side for a classic combo.
- Drizzle with warm caramel sauce for that extra indulgence.
- Pair with a tall glass of cold milk—it’s a timeless match!
- Enjoy with a rich cup of coffee or a creamy latte for a delightful afternoon treat.
- Top with whipped cream and fresh berries for a fruity twist.
Storage & Reheating Instructions
Once you’ve devoured your brookie yancey (and trust me, you will!), store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. If you want to keep them even longer, pop them in the fridge where they’ll last for about a week. When you’re ready to enjoy a square, just warm it up in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds to bring back that gooey goodness. You can also reheat them in the oven at 300°F (150°C) for about 5 minutes for a lovely crispy edge. Enjoy every bite!
