Chocolate Chip Cookie Brownie Bars are the ultimate treat for anyone with a sweet tooth! They combine two decadent desserts into one delicious dessert bar. With rich, fudgy brownies and chewy chocolate chip cookies all in one bite, these bars will have you coming back for more.
Chocolate Chip Cookie Brownies
Our Cookie Brownie Bars couldn’t be faster or easier to prepare because when I need a decadent and delicious dessert, there’s no shame in taking a few shortcuts in the kitchen.
Using a box of brownie mix and a store-bought cookie dough not only makes this recipe super simple, but it also leaves you with one bowl to clean and minimal ingredients and measuring.
This chocolate chip cookie brownie recipe begins by pressing a chocolate chip cookie layer into the bottom of a baking pan, covering it with a brownie batter blanket, and sprinkling some more chocolate on top, then it bakes in the oven into a soft and chewy, slightly crunchy brookie.
I like to think of this recipe as the perfect marriage of my Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars (baked from scratch) and my Brookies (chocolate chip cookies mixed with brownies) – it’s the best combination of brownies and cookies baked into a one of a kind double dessert cookies and brownies bar.

Pro Tip: They will look very crinkly on top, and a toothpick should come out slightly wet. - Slice and Serve: Cool completely before slicing. Serve and enjoy!
Tip From Our Recipe Developer
- If you added a second egg to your brownie batter, you will get a more cake-like brownie, but you might need a few more minutes in the oven!
- Make sure to let the bars cool completely before removing them from the pan and slicing; they’ll be too soft when warm.
- For extra indulgence, you can warm your bars slightly in the oven or microwave and serve them with a scoop of ice cream.
- You can even buy a Betty Crocker cookie brownie bar mix all in one box!
How to Store Cookie Brownie Bars
- To Store: Store your cookie brownie bars in an airtight container on the countertop for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- To Freeze: These brownies can also be frozen for up to 3 months. I recommend cutting them into squares and placing in a freezer bag or freezer-safe container. Defrost on the countertop when you are ready to serve.
