Recipe (20cm pan):
Brownie Layer:
- 3 eggs
- 100g sugar
- 100g dark chocolate, melted with 75g butter
- 100g all-purpose flour
- 25g unsweetened cocoa powder
- 50g chocolate chips
Cookie Layer:
- 75g softened butter
- 50g brown sugar
- 25g white sugar
- 1 egg
- 100g all-purpose flour
- 50g chocolate chips
Instructions:
- Prepare the Brownie Layer:
- In a bowl, whisk together the eggs and sugar until the mixture is pale and slightly thickened.
- Add the melted chocolate and butter mixture, and stir until fully combined.
- Sift in the flour and unsweetened cocoa powder, and mix until just incorporated. Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Prepare the Cookie Layer:
- In another bowl, cream together the softened butter and both sugars until light and fluffy.
- Add the egg and mix until well combined.
- Stir in the flour and fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
- Assemble the Brookie:
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
- Line the bottom of a 20cm springform pan with parchment paper and grease the sides.
- Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly.
- Drop small pieces of the cookie dough on top of the brownie layer, covering the surface but leaving some gaps for a marbled effect.
- Bake:
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 40 minutes, depending on how fudgy or fully cooked you want the brookie. The top should be golden and slightly crisp, while the brownie layer remains soft.
- Let the brookie cool in the pan for 10 minutes before carefully removing it from the springform pan.
- Cool and Serve:
- Allow the brookie to cool completely before slicing. Enjoy warm, or store in an airtight container for a chewy treat later.
Enjoy your indulgent brookie—a perfect combination of fudgy brownie and soft cookie!
