Brookies (Brownie Cookies)

Brookies (Brownie Cookies)

Few weeks ago I went to a dessert fest with my friend K, & we tasted an amazing cookies with brownie taste. From that day I was looking for a recipe for those. Stumbled upon a recipe from Ghayathri Kumar after few days & gave it a try. Believe me they came out better than the one we tasted. K gave it a thumbs up too :)

Ingredients

350 gm Dark Chocolate (I took 70% cocoa)

45 gm Butter 

200 gm Brown Sugar 

250 to 300 gm All Purpose Flour / Maida or Whole wheat flour

1 tsp Baking Powder 

1/2 cup Milk 

1 tsp Vanilla 

100 gm Chocolate Chips 

Method 

In a bowl melt chocolate and butter. Allow it to cool completely.

To the same bowl add flour, baking powder, sugar, milk and vanilla.

Mix to form a soft dough.

Preheat oven to 175°C.

Take a small portion of the dough and press it into a cookie.

Top the dough with some choco chips.

Arrange them in a greased tray. Refrigerate the remaining dough while the batch is baking.

Bake for 12 - 13 minutes and remove from oven.

Let it cool in tray for 10 minutes until the cookies are firm to touch.

Remove them and cool completely on a wire rack.

Store in an airtight jar in fridge. (They remain fine outside too for few days if the weather is not too hot).

Tips

*I used salted butter, I think you can use unsalted one & add a pinch of salt.

*I used just 250 gm of maida but if you find the dough too soft to handle, you can add little extra.

*Using whole wheat flour will not change the taste at all.

*Cookies will look undone or soft after 12-13 minutes, but don't bake them more. They will firm up after cooling.

*Baking them for more than required time will make them hard.

*Taste and color will depend on the quality of chocolate used (I used Lindt 70% dark chocolate).
