US - Metric

Instructions

  • Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (177°C) and lightly grease a 10-ounce ramekin with butter or non-stick spray.

Prepare the Brownie Layer

  • Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a microwave-safe bowl.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together sugar, flour, and cocoa powder.
  • Add the melted butter, egg yolk, and vanilla to the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined.
  • Pour the brownie batter into the prepared ramekin and spread it into an even layer.

Prepare the Cookie Layer

  • In a small bowl, cream together butter and both sugars.
  • Mix in the egg yolk and vanilla.
  • Add flour, baking soda, and salt, stirring until the dough comes together.
  • Fold in the chocolate chips and chopped nuts.

Assemble the Brookie

  • Spread the cookie dough evenly over the brownie layer in the ramekin.
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  • Let the brookie cool slightly before digging in for the best texture and flavor. Serve warm for a gooey treat!

Notes

  • Read the Recipe First: Take a few minutes to read through the entire post, including the Ingredient Notes and process photos. This will give you helpful tips and insights for each step, ensuring your brookie turns out perfectly.
  • Preheat Your Oven: A fully preheated oven is key for even baking and achieving the right texture.
  • Layer Carefully: Spread the brownie and cookie layers evenly for the best results. Uneven layers can affect baking and texture.
  • Check for Doneness: Insert a toothpick into the center of the brookie to check if it’s done. It should come out clean or with just a few moist crumbs.
  • Prepare the Ramekin: Buttering the ramekin prevents sticking and adds a subtle layer of richness to the brookie.
  • Use a Baking Sheet: Always place the ramekin on a baking sheet. It makes handling easier and catches any potential spills, keeping your oven clean.
