Preheat your oven to 325 degrees F. Line a 9x9 with parchment paper, spray with cooking spray. Set aside.
Prepare the boxed brownie mix according to the package instructions. This usually involves combining the mix with eggs, oil, and water. Mix until well combined and set aside.
In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Continue cooking the butter until it turns a light golden brown color, stirring occasionally. This takes about 3-4 minutes. Be careful not to burn it. Remove from heat and let it slightly cool for 10-15 minutes.
In a medium sized bowl, sift together the cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and flour.
In a medium size mixing bowl, combined the brown butter and the brown sugar and using a whisk, whisk together until combined. About 30 seconds.
Next, whisk in each egg and egg yolk, one at time. Mix vigorously after each addition. This helps create that nice shine on top of the cookie. Add in the vanilla.
With a rubber spatula, fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, add the chocolate chips, and mix until no streaks of flour remain. Do not over mix.
Using two spoons, alternate between the brownie batter and cookie dough by dropping small balls or dollops (the smaller the better this helps create that beautiful brookie look) into the prepped pan until you used both the cookie dough and the brownie batter. Try to evenly distribute the two throughout.
Bake in the for 50-55 minutes depending on your oven, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
Remove from the oven and let the brookies cool in the pan until you are ready to serve.
Serve and enjoy the deliciousness of your homemade brookies!
