    Variations

    • If you want to change up this recipe, here are a few ideas:
    • Add ½ cup of chopped nuts to the cookie dough or brownie batter.
    • Swap out the chocolate chips for white chocolate chips, peanut butter chips, or any other type of chip you like.
    • Make these into Brookie Bars by pressing the dough into a 9"x 13" baking pan. Then bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
