Brown butter Brookies Recipe Ingredients: For the cookie layer: 1/2 cups unsalted butter, melted and cooled 1/2 cup light brown sugar 1/3 cup granulated sugar 1 large egg, room temp 1 tbsp vanilla extract 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled 1/2 tsp baking soda 1/2 tsp flaky sea salt 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips For the brownie layer: 1 cup unsalted butter 1/2 cup Dutch-processed cocoa powder 1 tsp vanilla 1/2 light brown sugar, spooned and leveled 1 3/4 cup powdered sugar 3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips 1/3 cup semi-sweet chocolate, chopped 3 eggs, room temp 1/2 cup all-purpose flour Pinch of salt 3 tbsp olive oil Method: 1. Preheat oven to 350 FF. Line an 8*8 inch pan with parchment paper. 2. Prepare the cookie layer: Mix flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside. Combine melted butter, brown and granulated sugar, egg, and vanilla. Whisk until smooth and fluffy for about 2-3 min. Add dry ingredients and chocolate chips. Mix until just combined. 3. Prepare the brownie layer: The browned butter mixture: Melt butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Stir every 10 seconds until foamy (6-8 minutes). Continue until milk solids turn golden brown and smell nutty. Transfer to a heatproof bowl. Add cocoa powder, oil, vanilla, and chopped chocolate; mix until smooth. In a separate bowl Whisk 3 eggs and light brown sugar for 5-6 minutes until dissolved. Add powdered sugar; mix 1-2 minutes until combined.Add cooled browned butter mixture; mix until smooth. Add flour and chocolate chips; mix until well combined. Note: Dissolving sugar in eggs ensures a crackly top. 4. Layer the cookie and brownie batters in the prepared pan. 5. Bake for 40-45 minutes or until the edges are golden and center is a little fudgy. 6. Let cool completely before cutting into brookies. Note: You can adjust the layering to your preference, either by layering the cookie dough on top of the brownie batter or vice versa, or by creating a marbled effect by swirling the two batters together. #brookies #cookies #brownies #fudgybrownies #chocolate #recipe #bakinglove
