At least for a minute or three. 🙂 These brookie bars of yumminess will definitely get your attention.
It's cool the way the cookie dough and brownies and all those chocolate chips all inter-connect with each other, don't ya think?
They are soft, thick, chewy and 'amaze-balls', as they say!

...Or are you a chocolate chip cookie person?
I'm brownie all the way, but I can definitely be persuaded by chocolate chip cookies any day of the week!
If you're a brownie person
These Salted Caramel Pretzel & Peanut Dark Chocolate Brownies (For the Win!), these Perfect Brownies {For that Chocolate ‘Fix'} and these Irish Cream Chocolate Boozy Brownies should definitely be on your radar.
If you're a chocolate chip cookie person
You'll be all smiles with these Perfect Chocolate Chip Cookies, these Soft Batch Chocolate Chip Cookies! Pure Nirvana! and these S’more Chocolate Chip Gooey Bliss Cookies.
Or you can stick with the best of both worlds. 🙂

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350ºF.

Awesome to hear Janet! Thank you!

Its looking delicious. Thank you for sharing this Brookie Bars recipe. Loved to read this blog.
That's so awesome Brittany! Thank you so much for making them and commenting. I love it!
These were very tasty. They were easy to make, they baked properly, and my boyfriend loved them!
I haven't tried it, but this cookie dough will spread out if you did make cookies. But if you wanted to try it, an option could be, is to place the dough (s) in mini muffin tins or regular muffin tins to get cookie cup-like cookies. The dough is not chilled, so maybe if you tried chilling the dough it might work, but I would also add in more flour and maybe some baking powder to give them some structure, but I would have to experiment. If you try it and it works out, let us know.
Could these be made as a cookie?
Thank you!
