My eggless brown butter brookie is the best of both worlds!
These eggless brookies bring together everything we love about the two: chewy, chocolatey cookie dough layered with a rich, fudgy brownie batter. They’re buttery and gooey in the centre with those perfectly crisp edges. Brown butter adds that deep, nutty, caramely flavour which truly elevates and makes them so so good!

Equipment
Instructions:
Chocolate Chip Cookie
- Brown the butter: In a pan over low heat, melt the butter, stirring frequently until it becomes bubbly and turns golden brown with a nutty aroma. Remove from heat and let it cool.
- Combine sugars with butter: Whisk together the browned butter, powdered brown sugar and white sugar until the sugars almost dissolve.
- Add milk and vanilla: Whisk in the milk and vanilla essence.
- Prepare dry ingredients: In a bowl, sift in the dry ingredients- all purpose flour, cornstarch, baking soda and salt (if using unsalted butter).
- Combine wet and dry mixtures: Pour the wet mixture into the dry and gently fold it in. Mix until just combined, avoid overmixing.
- Add chocolate: Fold in the chocolate chips and chunks with a spatula.
- Set the cookie dough aside and we move on to making the brownie batter.
Brownie
- Brown the butter: In a pan over low heat, melt the butter and stir frequently until it turns golden brown and starts smelling caramely and nutty. Turn off the heat immediately to prevent burning.
- Melt the chocolate: Add the dark chocolate to the hot butter and whisk until fully melted and smooth.
- Mix with sugars and cocoa powder: In a bowl, combine powdered brown sugar, powdered white sugar and cocoa powder. Pour in the chocolate-butter mixture into it while it is still warm. Whisk for a few minutes till the sugar dissolves and the mixture is smooth.
- Add condensed milk, milk and vanilla extract. Whisk for 1-2 minutes to incorporate air into the batter. It should look glossy and slightly thick.
- Add dry ingredients: Sift in all purpose flour, cornstarch, instant coffee and baking soda. Fold gently using a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix.

Assemble
- Time to assemble: Transfer the cookie dough and the brownie batter to a greased, parchment lined baking tin. Using a cookie scooper or spoon, add alternating scoops of cookie dough and brownie batter to create a layered effect and smoothen the top. I like to top with extra pieces of cookie dough, shaping them into hearts makes them extra cute!
- Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for 40-50 minutes or Airfry: 170°C for the first 10 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 165°C and airfry for another 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the centre comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Cool & finish: Let the brookie cool completely before slicing. Sprinkle with flaky salt and enjoy!

Hyyy i really love your recipes and i admire it a lott
Lots of loveè
The recipe has some great elements. The browned butter adds amazing depth, and the brownie layer is rich and fudgy with a lovely sweet and slightly bitter balance. The cookie dough baked up tender and flavorful. That said, it was overly sweet despite reducing sugar, and very greasy, with butter pooling in the pan. With adjustments to the butter and sugar ratios, this could be a standout brookie recipe.
You work is aesthetically pleasing and gives an urge to bake! I love it!🙈
I tried it and it was (quote unquote) just so so good! Extremely sweet though , but still amazing ! I made it for myself on my birthday and me and my brother shared it , will definitely be making this again.

I tried it and it was just amazing, love ur recipes!!!! And TYSM for dropping this eggless brookies ♡♡♡♡
Tried this recipe turned out perfect! And i am a novice in baking, was genuinely surprised with the results!
I loved how it came out, i was really a pure heaven! Thanks to Shivangi 💗
Yummmmyyy best recipe i hv found till now and I love this site.
really good, but it’s extremely sweet even though I reduced the amount of sugar by a few tablespoons. ofc it might be a preference but I generally do like sweet and this was a bit overpowering. I also felt like the layer on top was a little burnt and everything below was undercooked. I’m not complaining tho since oven differences may have contributed.
overall if I make this again I’d probably reduce the sugar a lot more (esp in the brownie because of the condensed milk in it) and I think I’d use a different baking container and reduce temp and increase cook time just a little bit
Didn’t turn out well even after following the recipe
