Rich, gooey chocolate brownies meet chocolate chip cookies in these decadent Brookie Bars.

Rich gooey chocolate brownies meet chocolate chip cookies in these decadent Brookie Bars.

Surprise! Today I’ve teamed up with a great group of ladies to shower our friend Ashton with tons of yummy recipes in honor of her soon to be baby boy. As you may already know I am a regular recipe contributor over on Something Swanky, where each month I get a chance to share my latest bar dessert obsession. Tuesday I posted these Fudgy No Bake Bars and today I am sharing these irresistibly tasty Brookie Bars.

Rich gooey chocolate brownies meet chocolate chip cookies in these decadent Brookie Bars.

It’s a brownie, it’s a cookie bar, no it’s something better… a brookie! Now you can enjoy the best of both dessert worlds with these delicious, decadent Brookie Bars. They start out with a rich chocolate brownie layer and then you add a bit of your favorite cookie dough (the key is small amounts of cookie dough evenly placed throughout) to get evenly baked beautiful dessert bars. So next time you can’t decide between a brownie and a cookie, don’t!

Please join me in wishing Ashton a fantastic rest of her pregnancy and a healthy baby boy. I hope you’ll enjoy these dessert bars, happy baking!
