King Size Brookie: Go Big or Go Home

July 7, 2016 Filed Under: Desserts

It is time to Fill the Cookie Jar again! This month the FTCJ Bloggers have a patriotic theme to our cookies, so be sure to scroll to the bottom of the post to see what they brought to the virtual cookie exchange. My contribution is this King Size Brookie: half brownie, half chocolate chip cookie. The best of two desserts baked into one giant cookie.

King Size Brookie - half brownie, half chocolate chip cookie, baked in a cast iron skillet. Doubly delicious chocolate dessert.

I heard someone in the back ask, “What makes these American or patriotic?” Well, Class:

  • We all know the chocolate chip cookie was invented in America at the Toll House Inn in Massachusettes.
  • Brownies were invented in America (probably, depending on which story you believe).
  • And the Brookie hybrid was probably invented by some crazy American that couldn’t decide which to bake, kind of like me.

Other than that, I got nothing. I didn’t think of it when I made it, but you can use red, white and blue M&Ms or top it with some patriotic sprinkles when you add the cookie dough if you want to give it a nice patriotic touch.

I think my fellow FTCJ bloggers will forgive me for stretching it a bit this year after I made these two cookies the last two years for our July theme.

Truth be told, I wasn’t thinking about the patriotic theme when I made this. It was for a going away party for one of my best friends who moved halfway across the country this week. I knew anything chocolate would be a hit with the kids and adults alike.

Most brookies are individual cookies made in cupcake tins or mini pie pans. But, this is July. I don’t want to be baking multiple batches of cookies. It’s too hot and I want to be out having fun. So, I made it into one giant cookie and cut it into wedges. Smart move on my part.

The only trick to this is to precook the brownies for about 10 minutes before adding the cookie dough to the top. And you might want to check that your camera lens is clean before taking photos… #bloggerproblems 🙁

Before baking the brownie / after baking 10 minutes / the addition of the cookie dough.

When you add the cookie dough, try to leave some spaces for the brownie to bake through.

This disappeared fast. I tried to send half of it home as a late night packing frenzy pick me up, but I don’t think it made it that long.

    I’ve never made a Brookie before, and I know as soon as my husband learns of this he will be requesting one!
