Ingredients
Main Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup (113 grams) unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 cup (113 grams) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup (200 grams) granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup (100 grams) brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup (125 grams) all-purpose flour
- 1 and 1/4 cups (156 grams) all-purpose flour
- 1 cup (170 grams) chocolate chips
Flavor Enhancers:
- 1/3 cup (30 grams) unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients and Leavening Agents:
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
Instructions
- Warm the oven to 350°F and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper for even baking and easy cookie removal.
- Create the rich chocolate base by whisking melted butter with sugar until fully integrated, then incorporate eggs and vanilla for a smooth, glossy mixture.
- Blend cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder into the chocolate mixture, stirring gently to maintain a luxurious texture without overworking the batter.
- In a separate mixing vessel, cream butter with white and brown sugars until the mixture becomes airy and pale, creating a light foundation for the cookie layer.
- Introduce egg and vanilla to the sugar mixture, beating until completely emulsified and creating a cohesive, creamy consistency.
- Gradually fold flour, baking soda, and salt into the cookie dough, ensuring a uniform mixture that will provide structure and gentle crunch.
- Gently fold chocolate chips into the cookie dough, distributing them evenly for bursts of melty chocolate in every bite.
- Construct each brookie by taking a small portion of brownie batter and cookie dough, rolling them together to create a marbled, unified sphere.
- Arrange the brookie balls on the prepared sheet, pressing them slightly to encourage spreading and create an attractive, rustic appearance.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, watching for set edges and a slightly soft center that promises a delightfully fudgy interior.
- Allow brookies to rest on the baking sheet for several minutes to stabilize, then transfer to a wire rack for complete cooling and optimal texture.
Notes
- Experiment with dark, milk, or white chocolate chips to customize the flavor profile and texture of your brookies.
- Chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking to prevent excessive spreading and maintain a more defined shape.
- Swap regular flour with gluten-free alternatives for those with dietary restrictions, ensuring the same delicious taste and soft texture.
- For a more intense chocolate experience, sprinkle extra chocolate chips on top of the brookies just before baking to create a decadent, melty surface.
