Brookies

I had to make these after I watched that episode of Masterchef Australia where Harry made his Brookies for a midnight snack challenge.

Now if you’re wondering what a brookie is… it’s a combination of a brownie and a cookie.

They looked delicious on tv. And I wanted to make some.

I ended up not having enough dark chocolate, but the cocoa powder made it so much better. And I’m bot big fan of dark chocolate, so the cocoa made it a bit more sweeter and much nicer to eat.

I am quite happy with how they turned out. Was a bit surprised that there was no flour in this recipe. So I guess in theory that means it should be Gluten Free.

I made a brookie ice cream sandwich and added some chocolate sauce. It was to die for.

I also tried the original version of the recipe. But I couldn’t handle the heaviness and bitter taste the dark chocolate gave it.  Ended up throwing out that batch as no one ate it.

 

Makes 12 Brookies

Ingredients

• 150g 70% dark chocolate
• 200g cocoa powder
• 45g butter
• 225g castor sugar
• 80g cornflour
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 3 eggs
• 1 tsp vanilla essence
• 100g dark chocolate chips

Method

 Preheat oven to 180C.

1. Place 70% chocolate and butter in a bowl and set over a saucepan of simmering water. Stir to melt and combine. Remove from heat and set aside to cool until needed.
2. Combine remaining ingredients in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment and beat until light and fluffy. Add cooled chocolate butter mixture and mix until well combined
3. Spoon tablespoons of mixture onto baking trays lined with baking paper. Dot the top of the cookies with the dark chocolate chips, pressing gently into the dough. Bake for 12-13 minutes in the preheated oven.
4. Remove from oven and set aside to cool. Then enjoy with some vanilla ice cream and chocolate sauce.

If you make these Brookies,  I’d love to hear what you think of them =)
