How to Make Brookies

Music by:www.bensound.com/
For the Cookie
115g Unsalted Butter, Room Temp
200g Soft Light Brown Sugar
1 Egg, Room Temp
1 tsp Vanilla Extract
125g Plain Flour
1/4 tsp Salt
1/4 tsp Bicarbonate of Soda
100g Milk Chocolate Chips
For the Brownie
110g Unsalted Butter
110g Dark Chocolate
2 Eggs
225g Golden Caster Sugar
1 tsp Vanilla Extract
1/4 tsp Salt
60g Plain Flour
2 tbsp Cocoa Powder
To Decorate
50g Dark Chocolate (Optional)
Essential Equipment
20cm (8″) Square Baking Tin
Electric Stand Mixer or Large Bowl & Electric Hand Whisk
To Make the Cookie
Preheat the oven to 180°C/Fan 170°C and lightly grease & line your tin. Set it to one side.
In an electric stand mixer or a large bowl with an electric hand whisk, beat together the butter and sugar until it’s light and fluffy.
Then crack in that egg and give it another beat until it becomes nice and smooth again.
Drop in the vanilla extract and briefly mix again to distribute it. Now would be a good time to scrape the sides down if needs be.
Then sift in the flour, salt & bicarbonate of soda and mix again just until it comes together
to form a sticky dough.
Add in those chocolate chips (yes, it’s ok to be cheeky and eat a few!) and give it a brief final mix until evenly distributed.
Then sift in the flour, salt & bicarbonate of soda and mix again just until it comes together to form a sticky dough.
Finally, scrape the mixture into your prepared baking tin and level out as best as you can with a spatula. Don’t worry, you don’t have to be too neat!
To Make the Brownie
Cube the butter into a large glass bowl and break in the chocolate. Heat in 10-20 second intervals in your microwave (or set over a pan of barely simmering water if you don’t have a microwave) stirring well between each blast until it’s completely melted.
Try not to overheat. If it gets too warm, allow to cool for a few minutes before moving on to the next stage or you will get scrambled egg brownies!
Crack in one of the eggs and beat really well until it smooths out. Then crack in the second and repeat until it becomes smooth again.
Time for the sugar! Weigh it straight into the bowl and give it a very good mix. The sugar should almost dissolve, so shouldn’t feel grainy when you stir.
Tip in the vanilla extract & the salt and briefly mix once more.
Finally, sift in the flour & cocoa powder and fold in with a spatula. Keep mixing only until you can’t see any more flour, don’t overdo it.
Now pour the brownie batter over the cookie dough in your prepared tin and smooth out with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 mins until a skewer inserted into the middle only has a little amount of batter on the tip. The top will be nice and crispy.
Now for the really tough bit. Let this bad boy cool completely before attempting to remove it from the tin. When cool, slice into 16 bars. If you can contain yourself and actually have any left, store them in an airtight container at room temperature and consume within 4-5 days.
Want to take it one step further? Break some dark chocolate into a disposable piping bag and heat in the microwave in 10 second intervals. Give it a good ‘smush’ between each time and keep going until it’s smooth and melted. Snip the end and pipe zigzag lines all over the top of each brookie. Allow to set at room temperature.
