Ingredients:
- Cookie Dough:
- 250g flour (T45)
- 115g butter
- 67g brown sugar
- 67g granulated sugar
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1 egg
- A pinch of salt
- Chocolate chips (as desired)
- Brownie Batter:
- 250g dark chocolate
- 150g flour (T45)
- 150g sugar
- 100g butter
- 4 eggs
- A pinch of fleur de sel
- Prepare the Cookie Dough:
- Cream together the butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Add the egg and mix well. Gradually add the flour, baking powder, and salt, mixing just until combined. Fold in the chocolate chips carefully to avoid overmixing.
- Prepare the Brownie Batter:
- Melt the dark chocolate with the butter. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs with the sugar until pale. Mix the melted chocolate into the egg mixture. Fold in the flour and fleur de sel.
- Assemble and Bake:
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (356°F). In a baking dish lined with parchment paper, spread the brownie batter evenly. Drop dollops of cookie dough over the brownie layer, and sprinkle additional chocolate chips or chocolate squares if desired.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the top is golden and the center is set but still slightly gooey.
- Cool and Serve:
- Allow the browkies to cool in the pan before cutting into squares. This resting period helps the layers set properly and makes cutting easier.
Enjoy these Ultimate Browkies, a doubly delightful treat that combines all the best elements of cookies and brownies into one unforgettable dessert!
