Ingredients
Scale
Chocolate Ingredients:
- 2/3 cup (100g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/3 cup Dutch-process cocoa powder
Sugars:
- 3/4 cup (150g) light brown sugar, packed
- 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
- 2/3 cup (130g) granulated sugar
Butter:
- 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1 cup (226g) unsalted butter, cold and cubed
Flour:
- 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled
- 2 3/4 cups (345g) all-purpose flour
Eggs:
- 1 large egg, room temperature
- 1 egg plus 1 egg yolk, room temperature
Other Ingredients:
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- Flaky sea salt for sprinkling (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the oven to 350°F and arrange parchment paper on two baking sheets, ensuring even coverage.
- For the brownie dough, whip butter and sugars until they reach a light, airy consistency. Incorporate egg and vanilla extract, blending thoroughly. Gently fold in sifted dry ingredients, then gently mix in chocolate chips.
- Create cookie dough by vigorously creaming cold butter and sugars for approximately 4 minutes until achieving a fluffy texture. Introduce eggs and vanilla, mixing until well combined. Carefully integrate dry ingredients and chocolate chips, stirring just until incorporated.
- Construct unique cookies by portioning both doughs, making chocolate chip cookie balls slightly larger than brownie dough balls. Carefully press one of each type together, then roll into a unified spherical shape.
- Arrange cookie balls on prepared baking sheets, spacing them 2 inches apart. Bake for 8-9 minutes, aiming for set edges while maintaining slightly underbaked centers.
- Allow cookies to rest on the baking sheet for 5-10 minutes, then delicately transfer to a wire cooling rack. Optional: Sprinkle with a light dusting of sea salt for enhanced flavor complexity.
Notes
- Swap butter for coconut oil to create a dairy-free version that’s just as rich and delectable.
- Chill dough for 30 minutes before baking to prevent excessive spreading and maintain distinct brownie-cookie layers.
- Use high-quality chocolate chips for deeper, more complex flavor that elevates the entire brookies experience.
- Try different chocolate types like dark, milk, or white chocolate to customize the taste and create unique variations.
