We love brownies and we love cookies. Brookies have the softness of brownies and the crisp crust of cookies and generous amount of chocolate! Crispy on the outside, chewy on the inside!
butter, flour, yeast, sugar, eggs/curd and of course, chocolate.
Chocolate (break into small pieces) – 200 grams
Butter – 75 grams
Eggs – 2 medium-sized/ 1 cup thick curd
White powdered sugar – 100 grams
Brown sugar – 25 grams
Vanilla essence – 1 tsp
Baking powder – 1/2 tsp
Salt – 1/2 tsp
Flour – 125 grams (wheat and Maida/ strong unbleached bread flour mix or all of wheat or Maida/ strong unbleached bread flour, as per choice)
Cocoa powder – 2 tbsp
Choco-chips – 2 tbsp (optional)
Instructions
Step 1
Sieve the dry ingredients excluding sugar.
Step 2
Beat the eggs/curd with the sugar using a hand mixer until the sugar dissolves.
Step 3
Melt the butter and chocolate in a double boiler. Mix well until the chocolate gets soft. Don’t overheat.
Step 4
Pour the egg/curd mixture into the chocolate mixture.
Step 5
Finally add this to the dry mixture and sprinkle some choco-chips as well.
Step 6
Consistency of the mixture is important. Once the batter is prepared, leave it in the chiller for 1/2 an hour. The batter should become dense enough to be scooped by hand or utensil into 40 gram pieces, onto a baking tray.
Step 7
Preheat the oven to 185. Bake for 15 minutes.
Baker’s Tips
• If the batter is too watery, add some flour.
