How to Make Brookies Cookies

Ingredients:

1 batch Kroll’s Kookies (chocolate chip cookie dough)
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon salt
8 tablespoons unsalted butter
8 oz. (about 1 cup) chocolate chips, divided (milk chocolate, semi-sweet, or dark)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 large eggs, room temperature
3/4 cup packed brown sugar (light or dark)
1/4 cup white sugar

Directions:

Prepare the Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough: Make the Kroll’s Kookies and place it in the fridge to chill.
Make the Brownie Cookie Batter: In a bowl, whisk the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, cornstarch, and salt. Set this mixture aside. In a saucepan, melt 4 oz. of chocolate chips with butter. Stir in the vanilla extract and let the mixture cool. In a mixer, beat the eggs and sugars for 3-4 minutes until thick. Then, stir in the cooled chocolate mixture. Fold in the dry ingredient mix and remaining chocolate chips. Refrigerate for 15 minutes.
Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
Portion the Dough: Weigh out 1.25 oz. portions of both the chocolate chip and brownie cookie dough, and roll them into balls. Assemble the cookies by layering each type of dough to create a marbled effect.
Bake: Place the cookies on the sheets and bake for 10-11 minutes. Let them cool on the baking sheet for 10-15 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
