US - Metric

Instructions

  • Heat the oven to 350°F (177°C). Butter the inside of a 10-ounce ramekin well.
  • Make the Brownie Layer: Melt the butter in a microwave-safe bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk together the sugar, flour, and cocoa powder. Add the melted butter, egg yolk, and vanilla and stir until just combined. Pour into the ramekin and spread into an even layer.
  • Make the Cookie Layer: In a small bowl, cream together the butter and both sugars until smooth. Mix in the egg yolk and vanilla, then stir in the flour, baking soda, and salt. Fold in the chocolate chips and walnuts. Spread the cookie dough evenly over the brownie layer.
  • Place the ramekin on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  • Let the brookie cool for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

  1. Read through the full recipe before you start. Both layers come together quickly so it helps to have everything measured and ready before you start. Give the recipe a full read first so you know what is coming before you begin.
  2. Spread each layer evenly. Take a moment to smooth out both the brownie batter and the cookie dough before baking. Even layers give you a better balance of brownie and cookie in every bite.
  3. Place the ramekin on a baking sheet. The brookie can bubble up as it bakes. A rimmed baking sheet underneath catches any drips and makes it easier to move in and out of the oven.
  4. Grease the ramekin well. Butter the inside of the ramekin before adding the batter. Don't skip the top edge where the cookie layer sits, that's where sticking is most likely to happen.
  5. Check doneness carefully. Insert a toothpick in the center. It should come out clean or with just a few moist crumbs. If the center still feels loose, give it a few more minutes and check again.
 
If doubling the recipe, bake in a 5x5 inch baking dish.
