BROWNIE COOKIES – BROOKIES

What could possibly be better than a cookie and a brownie combined into one bar? Absolutely nothing! I always have a hard time deciding which one I am craving; a brownie or a cookie, and could quite possibly be one of the most difficult decisions ever. Although, I can not take credit for inventing this amazing dessert, I can take credit for creating my version and recipe of this. You can also put just about anything from Oreos, M&Ms, Chocolate Chips/Chunks, sprinkles, Nutella, Peanut Butter etc.

I thought these would be a simple bake when creating them if I just made my brownie recipe and my cookie recipe and combine them. The brownie has to be a lot more dense and hold is shape as a batter than most normal brownies otherwise the cookie will sink in and not become perfect layers. Spent a lot of time making these the perfect brookies and I promise they will not disappoint!

TIPS

For assembly, it is crucial to use your fingers to flatten the cookie dough before placing on top of the brownie batter. This will help make sure to create that even layer and not ball shapes throughout. If you do not flatter, the balls of dough can sink into the brownie batter and wont come out looking like these.

Personally, I love a gooey brownie/cookie and I found that 32-33 mins was the perfect time to have tht “underdone” texture. When cooling outside of the oven it does set. You will not be eating undercooked raw dough/batter because it will set. But you do not want to overbake and have a dry crumbly brookie. I tend to underbake several of my desserts to get that perfectly set but gooey finish. I get asked all the time on my social accounts how all my desserts are perfectly gooey and soft and that simply is DO NOT overbaking! There is nothing pleasant about dry, dense and hard to swallow desserts. Everything will set while cooling in a fresh out of the oven hot pan.
