How to Make Brookies Cookies

Ingredients

1 3⁄4 cups All-Purpose Flour
1⁄4 cup Cocoa Powder, unsweetened
1 tsp Baking Powder
1 tsp Cornstarch
1⁄2 tsp Salt
8 Tbsp Unsalted Butter
8 oz Chocolate Chips (milk, semi-sweet, or dark)
1 tsp Vanilla Extract
2 Large Eggs (room temperature)
3⁄4 cup Brown Sugar (packed)
1⁄4 cup White Sugar

Directions

Prepare the Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough: Make your favorite chocolate chip cookie dough. Once done, place it in the fridge to chill.
Prepare the Brownie Cookie Batter: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, cornstarch, and salt. In a small saucepan, melt 4 oz of chocolate chips and butter over medium-low heat until smooth. Stir in vanilla extract and let it cool.
Mix the Batter: In a stand mixer, whisk the eggs and sugars for 3-4 minutes until the mixture is thick and pale. Add the cooled chocolate mixture and stir until combined. Gently fold in the dry ingredients along with the remaining chocolate chips; be careful not to overmix.
Chill the Dough: Place the brownie cookie dough in the fridge for 15 minutes.
Form the Cookies: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper. Roll 1.25 oz portions of the chocolate chip cookie dough and brownie dough into small balls. Layer the cookie and brownie dough balls (2 chocolate chip balls + 2 brownie balls) to create a 5 oz cookie.
Shape and Bake: Gently roll the cookie dough balls together, slightly marbling them. Split the ball in half, rotate one half vertically, and roll them back together. Bake for 10-11 minutes, then let cool on the cookie sheet for 10-15 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack. Enjoy these delectable Brookies with a glass of milk!
