Ingredients
-
110 g dark chocolate
-
120 g unsalted butter
-
3 large eggs
-
60 g granulated (white) sugar
-
60 g light brown sugar
-
80 g all-purpose flour
-
½ tsp baking powder
-
30 g unsweetened cocoa powder
-
¼ tsp sea salt (optional)
Instructions
-
Prep
-
Preheat oven to 350 °F (175 °C).
-
Line an 8 × 10 inch pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
-
-
Make the Cookie Dough
-
In a bowl, cream 80 g butter with 50 g brown sugar and 40 g white sugar until light and fluffy.
-
Beat in 1 egg and ½ tsp vanilla until smooth.
-
Stir in 150 g flour, ¾ tsp baking powder, and ¼ tsp salt until just combined.
-
Fold in 70 g chocolate chips.
-
Cover and chill in the fridge while you prepare the brownie layer.
-
-
Prepare the Brownie Batter
-
Melt 110 g dark chocolate and 120 g butter together over a double boiler; let cool slightly.
-
In a separate bowl, whisk 3 eggs with 60 g white sugar and 60 g brown sugar until pale and foamy.
-
Sift together 80 g flour, 30 g cocoa powder, ½ tsp baking powder, and ¼ tsp salt.
-
Fold the chocolate–butter mixture into the eggs, then gently incorporate the dry ingredients until glossy.
-
-
Assemble the Brookies
-
Spread about ¾ of the brownie batter into the prepared pan.
-
Drop tablespoon-sized blobs of the chilled cookie dough evenly over the surface.
-
Spoon the remaining brownie batter in between and slightly over the cookie blobs—do not fully cover.
-
Lightly smooth the top and sprinkle with the remaining 20 g chocolate chips.
-
-
Bake & Cool
-
Tent loosely with foil and bake 10 minutes.
-
Remove foil and bake 15–20 minutes more, until edges are set but the center remains slightly gooey.
-
Cool completely before slicing. For cleaner cuts, refrigerate 30 minutes.
-
Notes
Chill the Dough: Helps prevent spreading for neat, distinct layers.
Quality Counts: A good-quality dark chocolate makes the brownie layer truly decadent.
Variations: Stir in chopped nuts, swirl in peanut butter, or add a pinch of espresso powder for depth.
Storage: In an airtight container at room temperature up to 3 days, or refrigerated up to 1 week. Freeze individual slices for longer storage.
