One of the best things in life is chocolate chip cookies, but brownies have always been my weakness too. So, if you have a sweet-tooth like me and can’t decide between the classic cookie and the fudgy brownie, you end up baking some brookies! 
 
This irresistibly gooey and chewy traybake with basic pantry ingredients is perfect for Easter treat. And if you are craving for a more decadent midnight snack, then serve this genius combination with a dollop of whipped cream or ice cream. You are very welcome!
