Can't decide between a chocolate chip cookie and a brownie? No problem. These cookies combine fudgey brownies and gooey chocolate chip cookies into one delicious dessert. Add colorful sprinkles, and these Birthday Brookie Cookies are their own party no matter where you take them!
Brownie Cookie Dough: Using a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat all ingredients on medium speed just until dough forms. Set aside.
Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough: Melt butter in a large microwave safe bowl for 45 seconds. Whisk together melted butter and sugars. Whisk in eggs, one at a time. Add vanilla. In a separate bowl, mix dry ingredients together (reserving chocolate chips and sprinkles). Fold dry ingredients into butter-sugar mixture until dough forms. Fold in chocolate chips and sprinkles.
To make brookies, scoop 1 tablespoon of brownie cookie dough and 1 tablespoon of chocolate chip cookie dough. Press two scoops of dough together and gently roll into a single ball.
Place each ball of combined dough on an ungreased cookie sheet, leaving 2-inches in between each cookie. Sprinkle with remaining multicolored sprinkles.
Bake for 9 minutes. Let cool on cookie sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Birthday Brookie Cookies make great ice cream sandwiches too. Just place a scoop of Homemade Vanilla Ice Cream in between two cookies and serve immediately or wrap in plastic and place in the freezer.
