Tuesday's Kitchen - brookies

 

So for Tuesday's Kitchen someone finally made brookies - a sweet treat consisting of a fudgy brownie bottom and a cookie top. Baked all at one go in a tray! 

The recipe is loosely adapted from #preppykitchen with the sugar amounts reduced by a fair bit. :)

Ingredients for the brownie batter

113g unsalted melted butter

120g chopped 70% chocolate bar (or whatever kind of chocolate chips you have) 

35g Dutch-processed cocoa powder

50g brown sugar

50g raw sugar

1 tsp vanilla extract

1.2 tsp salt

2 large eggs

65g AP flour

Chopped walnuts (or any nut of your choice)

Ingredients for the cookie dough

113g unsalted butter (room temperature)

50g brown sugar

50g raw sugar

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 large egg

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 tsp baking powder

1/4 tsp baking soda

160g AP flour

150g mix of butterscotch and peanut butter chips (original recipe uses choc chips)

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350F.

2. Line a baking dish with parchment.

For the brownie

3. Melt the butter then stir in the cocoa powder. Whisk in the sugars and salt. Then add the eggs and vanilla. Add the flour and mix until almost combined. Fold in the chocolate chips. Add walnuts. Pour batter in baking dish so it forms a thin layer.

For the cookie dough

4. Cream the butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Mix in the egg and vanilla. Add in the dry ingredients and mix until almost combined, then add in your chip mix. Add the cookie dough mixture to the top of the brown batter. 

5. Cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes, then bake another 20 minutes uncovered. Sprinkle some sea salt once you take it out of the oven. Allow it to cool to room temperature before removing from pan and cutting.

It smelled and looked super yummy out of the oven. Did I mention that my sister asked TWICE if I was going to cut it up and serve it while it was cooling on the table? And that my mum and nephew #1 watched me cut it up so they could get first dibs? *LOL*

Did managed to snag a small piece to have with my cuppa this morning. Such a decadent treat.:)

Have you made brookies?
