Hello, hello my lovelies~ I come here today with a small recipe for the best dessert ever. It's not brownies, it's not cookies... It's BOTH.
🍪 Brookies! 🍫
Ingredients:
Brownie Layer:
★ 130g all-purpose flour
★ 50-60g natural unsweetened cocoa powder
★ 1/4 tsp baking powder (not to be confused with baking soda)
★ 1/4 tsp salt
★ 180ml vegetable oil (butter CAN be used instead, but it can get a bit dryer)
★ 300g white sugar
★ 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
★ 2 large eggs
★ 1 large egg yolk
Cookie Layer:
★ 260g all-purpose flour
★ 1 tsp baking soda (not to be confused with baking powder)
★ 1/2 tsp salt
★ 170g unsalted butter, room temperature
★ 115g light brown sugar
★ 52g white sugar
★ 1 large egg
★ 2 tsp vanilla extract
★ 200 g semi-sweet chocolate chips (or more, add to your heart's content, but don't hold me accountable 🤭)
Instructions:
★ Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Recommended using a 9×13 baking pan with parchment paper.
★ To make the brownie layer:
- Combine the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl and set aside.
- Add the oil, sugar and vanilla extract to a large mixing bowl and mix together until well combined. Then, add the eggs and mix until well combined.
- Add the dry ingredients and mix until well combined. Don’t over mix!
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
★ To make the cookie layer:
- Combine the flour, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl and set aside.
- Cream the butter and sugars together in a large mixer bowl on medium speed until light in color and fluffy, 2-3 minutes. You should be able to see the change in color and texture and know it’s ready. Do not skimp on the creaming time. (Or whisk with a hand-whisker and the power of your grandmas)
- Add the egg and vanilla extract and mix until well combined.
- Add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture and mix until the dough is just well combined. Do not over mix 👀
- Once it’s well combined, use a rubber spatula to help it come together to form a more cohesive ball.
- Fold in the chocolate chips! The cookie dough will be thick.
- Grab smaller balls of the cookie dough at a time, flatten it a bit and place on top of the brownie layer, creating an even layer and trying to cover as much as you can. You can try spreading it around a bit too.
Sprinkle "a few" extra chocolate chips on top, if you want to (of course you want to 🤭)
★ Bake for 22-25 minutes or until edges are set and the top is lightly golden. The center should be set and maybe wiggle just a bit, but not be too jiggly.
★ Allow to cool completely in the pan so that they firm up and they are easy to remove from the pan. Use the parchment paper overhang to lift the bars out of the pan and cut into bars.
★ Store in an air-tight container at room temperature. Best if eaten within 4-5 days. (Will it last that long? I don't think so 🤭🤭)
And that's it my lovelies! I hope you enjoy this recipy ❤️ Let me know if you make it and what do you think of it!
