Ever torn between making a soft fudgy brownie or a soft chocolate chip cookie? Me too! That is why this combination of a brownie-cookie, brookie, is sure to satsify all the cravings and they are definitely worth the effort.
I have separated the two recipes to make it easier while you prepare them. The ingredients are pretty similar which is handy!
- 1/2 C Butter, melted
- 3/4 C White sugar
- 1/2 C Cocoa powder
- 1/2 tsp Vanilla extract
- 1 C Plain flour
- 1/2 C butter, softened*
-
1/2 C Brown sugar, packed
- 1/4 C White sugar
- 1 large Egg
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 C Plain flour
- 1/2 tsp Baking powder
- 1 C Chocolate chips
- Preheat oven to 175°C and line two baking sheets with baking paper.
- Make brownie first: combine melted butter, sugar and cocoa powder. Whisk in eggs and vanilla until glossy. Add flour and mix until combined. Refrigerate while you make the cookie dough.
- Make chocolate chip cookie dough: in a another bowl, beat together butter and sugars until light and fluffy (trust me- an electric mixer is your best friend here). Mix in eggs and vanilla. Add flour, baking pwder and beat. Fold in chocolate chips.
- To make the brookie: form balls of each dough. Combine one brownie ball and one cookie dough ball by rolling two balls together. Repeat until all dough has been used.
- Place brookie balls on baking sheet and flatten slightly. Bake for 10 minutes or until golden around the edges. Let cool completely** on trays before enjoying!
*Butter for the cookie dough HAS TO BE softened, NOT melted. Otherwise you will not be able to cream the butter and sugars together the correct way.
**This recipe requires that you bake the cookies until almost done. They will continue baking with the residual internal heat after being pulled out of the oven. It is crucial that you let them rest until completely cooled as they will be VERY soft right out of the oven. When cooled, they will be firm enough to handle and quite delicious.
The chocolate chip cookie dough mixture is quite tough and thick but after you bake it, the cookie softens in such an excellent way. You suprisingly will find that the cooked brookie is an ideal, uniform texture of softness and outside crunch.
