You’ll have “BROOKIES” for days with these muffin tin cookie-brownies, also known as BROOKIES! 

Every now and again I pop into Trader Joe’s to pick up some goodies for myself or the boys. (If you have not tried their Caramelized Onion Cheddar Cheese…RUN AND GET IT.) 

They have “brookies” that are just delightful and I have to resist the urge to pick up a box, because I know that I would eat almost the entire thing on my way home. (Just keeping it real here!)

I recently grabbed a few boxes for an end of season sports gathering and WHEW. I knew the boys would gobble them up and I was in a hurry and forgot to pre-prep a treat…so I had to fork over a little more than I would have wanted…even for this special occasion. 

It got me thinking…these can’t be hard to make. 

It’s cookie dough and brownie batter. And to get the best consistency, the smaller the “container” the better…

So…

I present to you…

MUFFIN TIN BROOKIES.

tbh…I prefer the bite size-able/grab-able smaller mini muffin tin version. But really, it’s cookies and brownies together…it’s delicious whichever pan you use!!! lol

Save, print or pin the recipe below. Also, watch this quick video on how to make them – easy peasy, huh?!
