Directions of Halloween Brookies:

#### Step 1: Prepare Your Pan and Preheat Oven

• Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
• Line a 9×13 inch baking pan with parchment paper. Leave an overhang on the sides for easy lifting. You can grease it lightly if you wish.

#### Step 2: Make the Fudgy Brownie Batter

• Melt butter and sugar together. You can use a microwave or stovetop.
• Whisk in eggs and vanilla until the mixture is smooth.
• Fold in flour, cocoa powder, and salt until they are just combined. Do not overmix.
• Stir in chocolate chips if you use them.
• Spread the brownie batter evenly into the prepared pan.

#### Step 3: Prepare the Chewy Cookie Dough

• Cream together softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
• Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until they are well combined.
• In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
• Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Mix until they are just combined.
• Gently fold in your Halloween sprinkles or M&M’s.

#### Step 4: Assemble Your Halloween Brookies

• Spoon dollops of cookie dough evenly over the brownie batter.
• Use lightly floured hands or a spoon to gently spread and flatten the cookie dough. Create an even layer over the brownie. It does not need to be perfect; a few gaps are fine!

#### Step 5: Bake and Cool

• Bake for 28-35 minutes. Or bake until the edges are set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs (not wet batter).
• Let the brookies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before you lift them out and cut them. This is important for clean cuts!

#### Step 6: Decorate (Optional)

• Once cooled, drizzle with melted chocolate, add extra Halloween sprinkles, or place candy eyes for a playful touch.

How to Serve Halloween Brookies

Pumpkin Patch Party Platter: Cut the brookies into squares and arrange them on a festive platter with other Halloween candies and treats. A La Mode: Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream and a drizzle of caramel sauce. Spooky Milkshake Dippers: Pair with a glass of cold milk or use as dippers for a thick, creamy milkshake. Gift-Worthy Goodies: Package individual Halloween Brookies in cellophane bags with festive ribbons for a thoughtful party favor or neighbor treat.

Tips to Make Halloween Brookies

Don’t Overmix: Overmixing either batter can lead to tough brookies. Mix until just combined. Room Temperature Ingredients: Make sure your butter and egg for the cookie dough are at room temperature. This helps create a smoother, more even mixture. Cool Completely: Patience is key! Cutting warm brookies will result in crumbly, messy squares. Use Good Quality Cocoa: The quality of your cocoa powder directly impacts the richness of your brownie layer. Parchment Paper is Your Friend: It makes lifting the entire slab of brookies out of the pan a breeze. This allows for clean cuts.

Variations

White Chocolate Delight: Use white chocolate chips in the brownie layer and top with dark chocolate Halloween sprinkles. Peanut Butter Swirl: Add a swirl of creamy peanut butter to either the brownie or cookie layer before baking. Monster Mash: Use green food coloring in the cookie dough for a truly ghoulish look! Candy Bar Surprise: Chop up your favorite mini Halloween candy bars (like Snickers or Kit Kats) and fold them into the brownie batter.
