This Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Brookie Tart is two delicious desserts in one! Decadent fudgy brownies topped with dollops of peanut butter chocolate chip cookie dough and baked to perfection.
Hey guys! Happy Monday! Did y’all have a nice weekend? I hope yours was better than mine. Mine involved lots of driving, a dog with a cracked, infected tooth and a very expensive vet bill! Wah-wah. Stressful situations call for one thing and one thing only in my book…chocolate. So it was this Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Brookie Tart to the rescue! It totally did the trick! Well, at least for me, but not for my poor dog Tucker!
So this is how it went down. Everything was fine and dandy one minute and the next minute, I look at our dog Tucker and he has a lump on the side of his face as big as an egg. Like what the? OMG! I was freaking out. He wasn’t whining, or crying, just looking at me with this big old lump on his face! I had no idea what happened. Tucker and I were visiting with my mom who is up from Florida for the summer, so we all hopped in the car to head home so I could get Tucker to the vet. The vet said he had a cracked tooth that was infected and would need to be pulled! Ugh! Poor Tuck! Of course the vet couldn’t pull it on Friday, so she sent us home with antibiotics and pain meds for the weekend for the poor little guy and told us to come back on Tuesday. So tomorrow’s the big day. Hope it goes by quickly and as painlessly as possible!
Now, back to the Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Brookie Tart. If you love brownies and love peanut butter cookies , you’re going to love this tart. And if you’ve never heard of a brookie, a brookie is a combination of a brownie and a cookie. And in this case it’s a decadently delicious fudgy brownie and a peanut butter cookie studded with chocolate chips in tart form. You can also use a 10 inch pie plate if you don’t have a tart pan. Just whip up the brownie batter and pour it into the tart pan and top with dollops of the peanut butter chocolate chip cookie dough and bake. This tart does double duty. It’ll satisfy your brownie and cookie cravings in one! It’s a win-win my friends. Hope you enjoy. Have a wonderful week!

Sorry to hear you had a bad weekend and your poor fur baby!!! I’m sure everything will goes just fine! Positive thoughts sent your way, my friend!!
I do love peanut butter cookies and brownies so I know I’m gonna love this one. Looks super delish, Mary Ann! Pinning! Two of my favourite things in one :)
Best of luck, girl! xo
Thanks so much Dawn! I just hope tomorrow goes quickly for Tucker! He gets so nervous going to the vet (as do all dogs!) I know, two of my favorites too! Hope you enjoy! Have an awesome week!
U can’t post desserts in the morning. It’s just not fair! Looks delicious.
Ha! This one is definitely a winner!
Omg. Poor Tucker!! That same exact thing happened to our Tater tot, except hers was an abscessed tooth. Glad you took your fur baby to the vet and everything will soon be okay!! My fingers are crossed!! But, Soooo expensive- I know…however, they are so worth every cent, our fur children, right? After a stressful weekend, chocolate is the best pick me up! And this tart is AMAZING, Mary Ann!! So genius and absolutely beautiful! I MUST make this Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Brookie Tart for Boy, I know he’ll go crazy for it! Pinned! Cheers!
I’m dreading that final bill tomorrow Cheyanne! Ugh! But I agree, Tucker is worth every penny! He’s the best dog ever and it makes me so sad his tooth was hurting and I never really knew until his face blew up! I think Boy will definitely go for this one! Peanut butter and chocolate is always a winning combo! Have a great week!
Oh no! I hope Tucker feels better soon! This brookie tart looks incredible! I love the peanut butter chocolate chip combo here. It’s the perfect thing to curb the Monday blues.
I agree Jen! Chocolate always makes Mondays better! I can’t wait until tomorrow is over for poor Tuck!
Ugh! Poor Tucker. I feel bad for all of you…awful to see your pets in pain. It’s too bad he can’t numb his pain with this brookie! Looks like a grown-up peanut butter cup. YUM!
Yes! I can’t waited until it’s pulled and he’s on the road to recovery! Hope you enjoy my friend!
Oh no! Poor doggie! Nothing stresses me out more than when there is something wrong with my dog. It’s so hard to know how they are feeling and if you are doing the right thing for them. Ugh. I would definitely need to face plant into this giant cookie/brownie tart. It’s so fabulous!
Thanks Liz! I know, nothing stresses me more out either! At least my kids can tell me when something is wrong! I’ll be happy when he’s feeling better! Hope you enjoy the tart!
Holy yum! That looks like my kinda pie! Hope Tuck is fine tomorrow and that the whole ordeal goes by painlessly!
Me too Alida! Thanks so much! XO
Give me chocolate and peanut butter any day of the week and I’m a happy girl! This tart looks beyond delicious – it’s definitely in order ASAP!
Thanks Rachel! I know, I can’t resist the peanut butter and chocolate combo either.
Sorry to hear about your dog, but if anything can be some food therapy, this is it! Wow. Brownie meets peanut butter cookie. Perfection :)
Thanks Jennifer! It helped but I’ll be even happier when Tuck is better!
Oh my god this looks like what I need to have for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I’m sorry about your dog though :( Hope he gets through it ok! It’s always stressful (and expensive!!) when you have a sick pet in the house. This brookie is a nice way to cope with it though ;)
Thanks Sarah! Chocolate always helps! Have a great week!
My dog had a cracked tooth – but you couldn’t tell by looking at her. She all of a sudden got very snappy around other dogs and I couldn’t figure it out – turns out the tooth was really bothering her. Luckily my vet was able to figure it out. And yes, that is one doozy of a vet bill! Now for this tart – it looks just delicious – love the combo of peanut butter and chocolate chip – sooo good. And I see that great blue and white plate again!
I’m dreading that bill tomorrow! Yikes! I may need to make another one of these tarts to soften the blow! I know, I love those plates too!
Poor Tucker! I hope everything goes well tomorrow! I think when he is all better he deserves special homemade doggie treats!
Let me just say that life doesn’t get much better than chocolate and peanut butter! I can’t wait to try this one!
Me too Lisa! Yes he does! Hope you enjoy the tart!
Stressful weekends are no fun :( Hope your dog is feeling better! If only dog’s could have chocolate because I’m sure this would cheer him right up ;)
Yes, it probably would Megan! Enjoy your week my friend! Happy baking!
Poor Tucker! Hope he’s feeling better soon!
Thanks Karen!
Omg!! This tart! Seriously drooling Mary Ann – the photos are so mouthwatering! And sorry to hear about your poor pup too! Can definitely relate there! Xx
Not as droolworthy as your latest macaron masterpiece, but delicious Thalia! Thanks!
Oh my! This looks yummy! Will have to try this one.
Thanks Debbie! Maybe instead of chocolate chips, add some chopped up M&M’s for Vaughn!!
Poor Tucker! I hope all goes well. Glad you could ease your pain a bit with this tart! Sometimes we need a little something to get us through the rough parts. Hang in there….and have another slice of tart! :)
Absolutely Kathy. Just dropped him off. His poor little face when I left him there! Ugh! Can’t wait to get him back later today. He’ll be the most spoiled dog ever for a few days, I can guarantee that.
Oh no! Poor Tucker! I hope his tooth has been painlessly and successfully pulled and he is now on the mend! To bad he can’t have some of this delicious chocolate and peanut butter action because this looks amazing!
Thanks so much Rachelle!
Oh my goodness, I hope everything went okay yesterday! It’s so stressful when pets are hurting – you just want it fixed pronto!
This tart looks incredible and also has my two favorite things – chocolate and peanut butter! I’m thinking an all-purpose gf flour could work well in this. Can’t wait to try it out!
Yes, I agree Tessa! I can’t wait until he’s all better! My favorite combo too! Hope you enjoy it!
Oh man Mary Ann. . .I hope that Tucker will be able to manage the pain through the weekend. That really stinks that he has to wait that long. . .I know I wouldn’t be able to. And I’m all too familiar with outrageous vet bills. . .so you have my sympathy there.
Too bad this brookie has chocolate in it. . .because I think it would do a really nice job of keeping Tucker’s mind off the pain (maybe more so than those pain meds). Personally, my tummy is starting to rumble with the thoughts of it (and here I was trying to be good today. . .and stay away from any sweet temptations) and unlike Tucker it is perfectly safe for me to devour loads of chocolate.
It’s so easy and so delicious Lynn! Nothing beats chocolate and peanut butter in my book! Tucker’s doing ok, just moping around a bit today. I can’t wait until he’s 100 percent!
Poor Tucker! If only he could have enjoyed this awesome tart :) It’s gorgeous – and peanut butter and chocolate is always a winning combination in my book!
Mine too! Yes, poor Tucker! He’s slowly on the mend!
Oh man that sucks for Tucker! It’s just a shame he can’t eat this cake to make him feel better!
Hope it goes as painlessly as possible for all of you.
Amazing tart too – sheer decadence <3
Thanks so much Claudia. He’s coming along! And so am I with this tart!
I love this tart because there is no way I could choose between brownies or cookies – this is the best of both worlds!
Yes!! Agreed!
It’s 9am but this is all I want today!
Ha! It’s so easy and really delicious Matt! Trade you for some breakfast pockets and bunny bark! Deal?
