Ingredients:
For the Brownie Layer:
- 3 eggs
- 230 grams of sugar
- 100 grams of flour
- 2 tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa powder
- 170 grams of butter
- 200 grams of dark baking chocolate
For the Cookie Layer:
- 115 grams of melted butter
- 230 grams of flour
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract
- 165 grams of light brown sugar
- 120 grams of chocolate chips
- Chocolate spread (optional, for extra filling)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Brownie Base:
- Melt the chocolate and butter together using a double boiler or microwave. Set aside to cool slightly.
- In a large bowl, whisk the eggs with the sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
- Gradually fold in the melted chocolate mixture, then sift in the flour and cocoa powder, gently folding to keep the batter airy.
- Pour the brownie batter into a 25cm cake pan lined with parchment paper.
- Cookie Dough Layer:
- In a separate bowl, mix the melted butter with brown sugar. Stir in the vanilla extract and egg until well combined.
- Gradually add the flour, mixing until just combined, then fold in the chocolate chips.
- Drop spoonfuls of the cookie dough onto the brownie layer. Optionally, add dollops of chocolate spread between the dough for extra richness.
- Baking:
- Preheat your oven to 190°C (374°F).
- Bake the brookie for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the cookie layer is golden and the brownie layer is set but still slightly gooey in the center.
- Cooling and Serving:
- Allow the brookie to cool in the pan before slicing into squares. Serve warm for gooey chocolate goodness, or allow to cool completely for firmer, chewier bars.
Enjoy this decadent brookie, a hybrid dessert that perfectly combines the best of both worlds—rich, chocolatey brownies and soft, chewy cookies—into one unforgettable treat.
