Brookie combines brownie and cookie: it is a decadent brownie topped with a chewy chocolate chip cookie. We prepare the two layers separately, the brownie and the cookie batter, and bake them together in one tin. The brookie is perfect; try it with the extra chocolate on top!
Ingredients for cookie batter:
- 75 g butter
- 60 g caster sugar
- 110 g light brown sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
- 150 g plain flour
- ½ tsp bicarbonate of soda
- pinch of salt
- half a cup of plain chocolate chips or chopped dark chocolate
All ingredients should be at room temperature.
In a mixing bowl, beat the butter and both sugars together until very light and fluffy. Beat in vanilla extract and one large egg. Sift plain flour with bicarbonate of soda and salt into the mixing bowl and mix. Add plain chocolate chips and stir well.
Ingredients for brownie batter:
- 125 g dark chocolate
- 125 g butter
- 2 large eggs
- 150 g caster sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 75 g plain flour
- 1/3 cup chopped walnuts
- a pinch of salt
All ingredients should be at room temperature. Mix the flour with the salt and set aside.
Place butter in a small saucepan, heat it, melt, and remove it from the hob. Add chopped chocolate and set aside for 2 minutes, then stir until you have a smooth chocolate sauce. Cool slightly.
Lightly beat the eggs with the sugar and vanilla in a second bowl, then stir in the chocolate sauce. Finally, sift the plain flour and salt into the chocolate mixture until the ingredients are combined. Stir in the chopped nuts.

Line a 23 or 24 cm square tin with baking paper. Pour the brownie mixture into the tin, spoon portions of the cookie mixture onto the brownie mixture, and level.
Bake the brookie at 160°C for about 25 minutes or a little longer. The brookie should be springy on the top and sticky in the middle (the chocolate coats the stick), but there should be no traces of raw batter on a stick inserted into the centre of the cake. Let it cool, then cut into squares.
Enjoy!
