1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/3 cup cocoa powder

3. Step-by-Step Instructions to Make Halloween Brookies

Prepare the Brownie Base

Mix the Wet Ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, combine melted butter and sugar. Whisk until well blended. Add eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla extract.

Combine the Dry Ingredients

In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing just until incorporated. Fold in chocolate chips or candies.

Bake the Brownie Layer

Pour the brownie batter into a greased baking pan, spreading evenly. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for approximately 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with moist crumbs. Allow to cool completely.

Prepare the Cookie Layer

While the brownies cool, prepare your cookie dough if you’re making a cookie topping from scratch. Alternatively, use cookie dough purchased from the store, colored with food coloring for a spooky look.

Add the Spooky Cookie Topping

Once cooled, spread the cookie dough over the brownie layer. Decorate with colored icing, sprinkles, or edible glitter to add a festive Halloween touch.

Final Touches and Decorations

Add additional Halloween-themed decorations like plastic spiders, mini pumpkins, or themed edible decorations to make your Halloween Brookies truly spooktacular!
