For those who can never decide if a chocolate brownie or a soft and chewy cookie is the perfect dessert, now there is a way to enjoy both at once in the form of 'The Brookie.' As the latest addition to the Great American Cookies' lineup, The Brookie is a delicious way to indulge in two beloved treats at once.

Dubbed "a bakery love story for the ages," The Brookie is a colossal new treat that Great American Cookies created for Valentine's Day. The story goes that in a bakery where the ovens are always hot, the brand just couldn't keep its famous cookies and brownies apart. The result is a [hybrid treat](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/butterfinger-pizookie) that is part [fudgy brownie](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/double-fudge-brownie), and part chocolate chip cookie.

To celebrate the love story, Great American Cookies is inviting customers to buy three, and get one free, now through February 14th.
