Brookies are a cross between brownies and cookies. They combine the soft chocolate brownie, with a soft and chewy cookie. For these brookies, Gingerbread Cookie Dough is baked over a classic brownie batter. These brookies are soft and delicious. They have the delicious chocolate flavor from the brownies, and the warm gingerbread spices from the cookie dough. They make the perfect Christmas treat that everyone will love.
For the gingerbread cookie dough, you can either make your own homemade gingerbread cookie dough, or you can also use a premade gingerbread cookie dough instead. For the brownie batter to save on time, you can also use a box of brownie mix and prepare it according to package directions. Pour the brownie batter into a baking dish first, then evenly spread the prepared cookie dough over the batter, and bake until the center of the brookie comes out clean with a toothpick. Let cool completely before cutting into bars.
