Let’s Get Baking!

Now, it’s time to turn these ingredients into mouthwatering brookie cookies! Follow these easy steps to create your own batch of cookie magic:

For the Chocolate Brownie Cookies:

1. Grab a heatproof bowl and add the dark chocolate and butter to it. Pop it in the microwave and heat, stirring every 30 seconds, until it’s beautifully melted and smooth.

2. Add the egg and stir it in until everything is nicely combined. Now, it’s time to add the sugar, flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, salt, and those irresistible chocolate chips. Mix it all together until you have a sticky, brownie-like batter.

3. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and give it a little chill time in the freezer for at least 15 minutes. This will help the batter firm up slightly, making it easier to work with later.

For the Chocolate Chip Cookies:

1. In a large mixing bowl, let’s work some buttery magic. Beat the softened butter and sugars using an electric beater on medium speed until it turns pale and creamy.

2. Add in the vanilla and egg, and give it a brief beat until everything is nicely combined. Now, bring in the flour, baking soda, salt, and those luscious chocolate chips. Beat it just until a soft and irresistible cookie dough comes together.

Bringing the Two Together:

1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) standard or 160°C (320°F) fan-forced. Line two oven trays or cookie sheets with baking or parchment paper.

2. Time to get hands-on! Grab a tablespoon of chocolate chip cookie dough and a slightly smaller ball of chocolate brownie cookie dough. Gently roll them together using your hands until they become one delightful ball. Place it on a prepared tray, making sure both doughs are facing up.

3. Repeat this roll and merge process until you have a whole bunch of cookie duos ready for baking. And hey, remember to wash your hands every now and then to keep the doughs from blending too much.

4. Pop those cookie-filled trays into the oven and bake them for about 12-13 minutes or until they turn just golden brown. While they’re still warm and cozy, press a few extra chocolate chips on top of each cookie for an extra dose of deliciousness.

5. Once the cookies have cooled slightly, carefully remove them from the tray and transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Pro Tips for Your Cookie Adventure

Before you embark on your cookie journey, here are some handy tips to make your baking experience even sweeter:

• For the best brookie cookies, use a good quality block of dark chocolate that’s around 40-60% cocoa. It’s the key to that rich and decadent flavor we crave!

• When it comes to cocoa powder, I recommend using unsweetened, natural 100% cocoa powder. It’s the cocoa goodness we need to complement the chocolate chip cookies.

• Once your brookie cookies are baked to perfection, you can keep them in an airtight container at room temperature. But trust me, they might not last long with their irresistible allure!

• Want to plan ahead? You can prepare the cookie doughs in advance and roll them straight away, as instructed in the recipe. Then, store the cookie dough balls in the fridge or freezer until you’re ready to bake. Just remember to bring the dough back to room temperature before baking, so they can spread naturally in the oven.
