This easy brownie pie is the perfect combination of rich, flavorful brownies and smooth and pressed chocolate chip cookies! It’s easy and so delicious!
Well, hello, Brooke Pie. Are you not seeing sore eyes?
I don’t know about you, but it really was Public (Even though it’s only March), and I’m not going to argue against the amazingly easy desserts that taste better than anything I’ve eaten at any restaurant.
Bring them all. Or rather, I bring them all over to my house. I’ll take them. (I’m also not rejecting regular chocolate chip bags at this point either.)
This brooky pie is super easy to make. And crazy delicious.

There are no secrets here. There are no complicated recipes and no picky ingredients.
Just a rich rich brownie mix + smooth and pressed chocolate chip cookie batter.
Both recipes are wonders in one bowl, and they both come together very quickly.
Pie plate size (and alternatives)
This broccoli pie recipe calls for a 9.5-inch deep pie plate. The batter will likely overflow if you are using a regular 9-inch pie plate.
In fact, I know it will, because I’ve tried it, and you don’t want to have to clean up that kind of mess in your oven. Trust me.
If you don’t have that size of a pie plate, you can try using a Springor pan or a 9-inch square baking tray (for more brooky bar ambiance).
Brownies to Cookie Ratio
While the recipes appear very similar in ingredient quantities, when baked, the brownie layer is slightly thicker than the layer of chocolate chip dough.
I made the recipe this way on purpose, because … Hey, BROWNIES.
Also, the base of the larger brownie holds the weight of biscuit dough without any of the layers drying (in fact, as any good citizen of the world knows, brownies are a little better than bread).
The best of both worlds
There’s a lot to love about this broccoli pie.
It is the perfect dessert that can be served for just about anything.
A weekday “snack” or a great weekend dessert. Offer a botlac or a perfect treat for a neighbor or friend.
And it is also customizable. Use M & M’s in biscuit dough! Or flavored chocolate chips. Maybe try mint extract in brownies? Yum.
While this pie is extremely tasty served at room temperature, I highly recommend slicing it slightly warm (or straight out of the oven warm and sticky).
And please, with all that is good and holy, do not think of it Not Including a tablespoon of ice cream.
I like so many desserts, but I think this easy brooki pie ranks in the top five (or ten). It’s the whole package, and it includes a large amount of chocolate.
Brooke pie to win! I hope you love her as much as we love her.

Ingredients
Brownie layer:
-
6 tablespoons (3 ounces) butter (I use it salted)
-
1 cup (6 ounces) semisweet or bittersweet chocolate chips
-
1/3 cup (2.5 ounce) granulated sugar
-
1/3 cup (2.5 ounce) light brown sugar
-
2 large eggs
-
1 teaspoon vanilla
-
1/2 cup (2.5 ounces) all-purpose flour
-
3 tablespoons of unsweetened natural cocoa powder
-
1/4 teaspoon salt
-
1 cup (6 ounces) chocolate chips (optional)
Chocolate chip cookie layer:
-
6 tablespoons (3 ounces) butter, softened to room temperature
-
1/3 cup (2.5 ounce) granulated sugar
-
1/3 cup (2.5 ounce) light brown sugar
-
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
-
1/4 teaspoon salt
-
1 large egg
-
1 teaspoon vanilla
-
1 cup + 2 tablespoons (5.75 ounces) all-purpose flour
-
1 cup (6 ounces) chocolate chips
instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit, grease a 9.5-inch deep pie dish with cooking spray. Sit aside.
- For the brownie layer: In a microwave-safe medium bowl, add butter and a cup of chocolate chips. Cook for 45 seconds, stirring between them, until melted and softened. Do not overheat. Add granulated sugar and brown sugar and mix until combined. Add eggs and vanilla, and mix well. Stir in the flour, cocoa powder, salt, and chocolate chips (if you use) and mix until any dry streaks are gone.
- Distribute the brownie mixture evenly in the prepared pan.
- For layer chocolate chip biscuits: In a medium bowl of mixer with a beater attachment (or in a regular bowl using a hand-held electric mixer), add butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking soda, and salt, and mix until light and creamy, 1-2 session minutes. Add eggs and vanilla, and mix until well combined for another minute or so. Add the flour and chocolate chips, while stirring, until any dry streaks are gone.
- Roll the cookie dough into large pieces of the brownie mixture. No need to spread or press into an even layer.
- Bake for 25-35 minutes until the cookie dough is golden and the center is soft but firm (the toothpicks will likely come out with the sticky brownie mixture). Lay the tent over the top of the pie with foil after 20 minutes or so if the cookie dough starts turning brown too quickly.
- Take it out of the oven and serve immediately for a warm, sticky pie, or let the pie cool and serve at room temperature or slightly warm with ice cream.
Notes
size: A regular 9-inch pie plate will be too small for this recipe (and the batter may overflow in the oven). To get an alternate skillet size, you can try using a 9 or 10 inch tray or a 9 inch square baking tray (with at least 2 inch sides).
Cookie layer: If you want a thicker chocolate chip cookie layer (* I guess * it would still fit a 9.5-inch pie plate), use the following: 8 tablespoons butter, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon soda Bread, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1 large egg, 1 teaspoon vanilla, 1 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1 cup chocolate chips.
