Ingredients
COOKIE LAYER
- 1 cup (230 g) unsalted room temperature butter
- Slightly over 1/3 cup (80 g) granulated sugar
- 2/3 cup (140 g) brown sugar
- 1 tsp (6 g) salt
- 2 eggs
- 1 ½ tsp (7 g) pure vanilla paste
- 2 ½ cups (320 g) all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp (4 g) baking powder
- ½ cup + 2 tbsp (100 g) dark chocolate chips
BROWNIE LAYER
- 4 eggs
- 2/3 cup (140 g) brown sugar
- 3 ½ tbsp (40 g) granulated sugar
- 1 cup + 1 tbsp (240 g) room temperature, unsalted butter
- 1 ¾ cups (300 g) dark chocolate callets
- ¾ (4.5 g) tsp salt
- 1 tsp (5 g) pure vanilla paste
- Slightly under ¾ cup (90 g) all-purpose flour
- 1 cup + 2 tbsp (90 g) cocoa powder (100%)
Instructions
- Start by placing 1 cup (230 g) of unsalted room temperature butter in a light colored pan, keep it on medium-low heat, and stir constantly. First, it will melt, then it will start to bubble. Once bubbles appear, it will shortly start to brown. The color will be a deep golden brown or amber. Let the butter cool slightly for 5 minutes before you use it.
- In a mixing bowl, combine slightly over 1/3 cup (80 g) granulated sugar, 2/3 cup (140 g) brown sugar, and 1 tsp (6 g) salt, 1 ½ tsp (7 g) vanilla paste. Whisk until all is combined. Add the cooled brown butter and mix. Add 2 room-temperature eggs and 1 tsp (4 g) baking powder, whisk.
- Add 2 ½ cups (320 g) all–purpose flour and, using a spatula, combine it. When the cookie dough is not warm, add ½ cup + 2 tbsp (100 g) dark chocolate chips or callets.
- Line an 8-inch (20 cm) square pan with parchment paper. Add most of the cookie dough on the bottom, removing 4 tbsp that you will use to top the brookies.
- To prepare the brownies, start by adding 4 eggs with 2/3 cup (140 g) brown sugar and 3 ½ tbsp (40 g) granulated sugar in a stand mixer bowl fitted with a whisk attachment. For the first 3 minutes, have the mixer at low speed. Then, increase to high speed and beat the eggs for 10 minutes
- In a light colored pan, add 1 cup + 1 tbsp (240 g) room temperature unsalted butter. We will brown it again. Start by melting it on medium-low heat. After melting, it starts to bubble. When the bubbles increase, and you notice a nutty aroma and the butter has turned an amber color, it’s ready. To the hot butter, you want to add 1 ¾ cups (300 g) dark chocolate callets. Stir until it’s fully melted. Preheat the oven to 355 F (180 F)
- In a mixing bowl, mix ¾ tsp (4.5 g) salt, 1 tsp (5 g) pure vanilla paste, slightly under ¾ cup (90 g) all-purpose flour, and 1 cup + 2 tbsp (90 g) cocoa powder. To this mixture, add the melted chocolate with butter. Once it’s all incorporated, fold in the beaten eggs.
- Pour this brownie batter over the cookie dough layer. Add the 4 tbsp of cookie dough we set aside earlier randomly over this layer. Bake the brookies in the preheated oven for 1 hour.
- After baking, let them cool in the pan for at least 45 minutes.
