Ah, when two loves collide! Brookie Cookies form when soft and fudgy brownie cookies meet (face first) with golden and chewy chocolate chip cookies. Voila, you have the perfect match. Their swirled pattern makes me weak at the knees but its the mash-up of flavours that has me reaching for seconds.
One side is made using a rich and gooey double chocolate cookie dough and the other, the perfect melt-in-your-mouth chocolate chip cookie dough. Best of all, these impressive two-in-one cookies are surprisingly easy to make!
Have you heard of Brookie Cookies before? They must be the latest creation in the cookie world and I am totally smitten! If you are anything like me, you may have seen them before and thought they look too tricky to make. Well the good news is you were wrong! They are much easier then they look! So how do you get that two tone effect?
Well once you make your two different cookie doughs, you simply take a teaspoon of each, push them together and then roll the dough using your hands. That’s it! And you get that beautiful swirl every single time!
The magical combination of brownie and cookie is truly a match made in heaven. The double chocolate cookie boasts a fudgy texture, just like a brownie, while the chocolate chip cookie goes beautifully golden with those crisp edges and a buttery centre.
Both sides are loaded with chocolate chips so they really are the best cookie for chocolate enthusiasts! I am sharing the recipe for these over on Mandy’s Recipe Box today, so hop on over and check it out! I promise they will satisfy both your brownie and cookie cravings!
Brookie Cookies
Brookie Cookies form when soft and fudgy brownie cookies meet (face first) with golden and chewy chocolate chip cookies – it’s the ultimate mash-up!
- Yield: Makes 22-24 cookies
Ingredients
Chocolate Cookies
- 115 grams (1/2 cup / 1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
- 90 grams (1/2 cup) brown sugar, firmly packed
- 70 grams (1/3 cup) caster sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
- 140 grams (1 cup) plain flour
- 20 grams (1/4 cup) cocoa powder
- 20 grams (1/4 cup) dutch processed cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon corn flour or cornstarch
2 tablespoon milk - 90 grams (1/2 cup) milk chocolate chips
Chocolate Chip Cookies
- 115 grams (1/2 cup / 1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
- 90 grams (1/2 cup) brown sugar, firmly packed
- 50 grams (1/4 cup) caster sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
- 175 grams (1 and 1/4 cup) plain flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon of corn flour or cornstarch
- 90 grams (1/2 cup) milk chocolate chips
Instructions
- Line two baking trays with baking or parchment paper. To make the chocolate cookies first, beat the butter and sugars in a large mixing bowl using an electric beater for a minute or two until pale and creamy. Add the vanilla and the egg and beat until combined. Add the sifted flour, cocoa powders, baking soda and corn flour. Add the milk and the chocolate chips and stir until a soft chocolate dough forms. Cover the dough and pop into the fridge.
- Preheat the oven to 180 C (360 F). Meanwhile, make the chocolate chip cookie dough. In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter and sugars using an electric beater until pale and creamy. Add the vanilla and the egg and beat until combined. Sift in the flour, baking soda and corn flour and stir gently. Add the chocolate chips and stir through. Grab both cookie doughs and get ready to roll!
- Grab a small ball of chocolate cookie dough and a small ball of chocolate chip cookie dough and gently roll them together using your hands until it forms one ball. Place on your prepared tray with both doughs facing up. Continue until your have rolled all the balls. To ensure the two cookie doughs don’t blend too much, rinse your hands in-between every few cookies as the cookie dough can be quite tacky and will stick to your hands.
- Bake your cookies for approximately 10-11 minutes or until just golden brown. Once the cookies have cooled slightly, gently remove from the tray and transfer onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Is it possible to substitute cocoa powder with chocolate bars? These look great, I can’t wait to bake them!
Hi Anon, thanks so much for stopping by! These cookies are delicious! Oh I’m not sure about that, because the cocoa is a powder, it wouldn’t be the same as chopped chocolate bars. If you can’t get a hold of cocoa powder, perhaps you could try my chocolate chip cookies? Let me know how you go! 🙂
