Brookies

Ingredients

Unsalted butter

1/2 cup (1 stick), plus extra for greasing

Semi-sweet chocolate

4 oz, chopped

Granulated sugar

1 cup

Eggs

2 large

Vanilla extract

1 teaspoon

All-purpose flour

1 cup

Cocoa powder

1/3 cup

Baking powder

1/2 teaspoon

Salt

1/4 teaspoon

Chocolate chips

1 cup (semi-sweet or milk chocolate)

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
2. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter and chopped semi-sweet chocolate together in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth and fully melted.
3. In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined and slightly frothy.
4. Pour the melted chocolate mixture into the sugar mixture and stir until thoroughly combined.
5. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt until evenly distributed.
6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
7. Fold in the chocolate chips until evenly dispersed throughout the batter.
8. Spread the brownie batter evenly into the prepared baking pan.
9. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
10. Allow the brookies to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before lifting them out using the parchment paper. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
11. Once cooled, cut into squares and serve. Enjoy the delightful combination of brownie and cookie in every bite!
