Coconut Chocolate Layered Brookies Recipe


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ounces unsweetened baking chocolate, coarsely chopped
  • 2 ounces semi-sweet baking chocolate, coarsely chopped
  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 3/4 cups sugar
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon coconut extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup shredded sweetened coconut

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 9×13″ pan with foil and spray with cooking spray for easy removal.
  2. Place both chocolates and butter in a large microwave-safe bowl. Heat on HIGH for 2-3 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth. Stir in sugar, then add eggs, vanilla, and cocoa powder.
  3. Add flour to chocolate mixture and stir carefully until just combined. Don’t overmix to maintain fudgy texture.
  4. Cream butter and sugar using stand mixer or hand mixer. Mix in egg, coconut extract, baking soda, cream of tartar, and salt. Stir in flour, then fold in shredded coconut.
  5. Spread brownie batter evenly in prepared pan. Drop flattened tablespoons of cookie dough over brownie layer, pressing lightly to adhere pieces together.
  6. Bake for 30-40 minutes until tops are dark golden. Don’t worry if toothpick doesn’t come out clean – the brownies continue cooking as they cool.
  7. Cool completely before cutting into bars. This allows layers to set properly for clean cuts.

Notes

  • Use room temperature eggs for better mixing and smoother batter consistency
  • Don’t overbake – the tops should be golden but the brownies will seem underdone, they’ll finish cooking while cooling
  • Flatten cookie dough pieces before placing on brownie layer for even coverage
  • Line your pan with foil extending over edges for easy removal and clean cuts
  • Let brookies cool completely before cutting – warm brookies will fall apart and create messy slices
