brookies

Sweet, dense, and slightly fluffy. Two iconic desserts in one. Sure to never disappoint.

Brookies are a one of a kind dessert. Unique in many ways, this delectable treat has the classic and notable chewiness of a brownie coupled with a slight crispiness and fluffiness of the cookies

Has anyone even heard of brookies? Based on my highly precise census, chances are no. But that’s ok because to day you will find out and instantly fall in love with them at first bite.

The best combination of a brownie and a cookie!

A COUPLE HELPFUL TIPS

Brownies

Coconut Butter: The original recipe used vegan butter, but I preferred to use a more whole food source, so I opted for coconut butter. Feel free to try the vegan butter.

Coconut Milk: The batter will be quite thick, like cookie dough, so don’t be afraid to add extra milk if you are unable to properly mix it. But just ensure that the batter is still as thick as cookie dough.

Add-ins: The original recipe calls for add-ins, but I did not want to take away from the rich brownie flavor, so I opted out.

Cookies

Oil (Coconut Oil): When I first made these cookies, I thought that they were a bit oily. If you feel the dough might be too oily to put with the brownie batter, omit some and substitute with coconut milk.
