Ingredients
Scale
Cookie Layer
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 egg yolk
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- Pinch of salt
- 1 tablespoon chocolate chips
Brownie Layer
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoon milk
- 1 tablespoon chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven or toaster oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a ramekin or small oven-safe dish to prevent sticking.
- Make Cookie Layer: In a small bowl, melt the butter. Stir in the granulated sugar and brown sugar until fully combined. Add the egg yolk and vanilla extract, then mix in 2 tablespoons of flour, a pinch of salt, and 1 tablespoon of chocolate chips. Press this cookie dough evenly into the bottom of the prepared ramekin to form the base layer.
- Make Brownie Layer: Using the same bowl without cleaning, combine the remaining 1 tablespoon of flour, cocoa powder, milk, and 1 tablespoon of chocolate chips. Stir until the mixture is smooth and spread it gently over the cookie layer in the ramekin.
- Bake: Place the ramekin in the oven and bake for 14 to 16 minutes, until the top is set but the center remains soft and fudgy.
- Cool & Serve: Allow the brookie to cool for a few minutes before enjoying. Serve warm with a spoon or pair with a scoop of ice cream for an indulgent treat.
Notes
- To make this brookie in the microwave, cook on high for 45 to 60 seconds, adjusting time according to your microwave’s power.
- For a vegan version, substitute dairy-free butter and plant-based milk, and replace the egg yolk with 1 tablespoon of applesauce.
- Use a small ramekin or oven-safe dish approximately 4 inches in diameter for best results.
- Feel free to add nuts or extra chocolate chips to either layer for added texture and flavor.
