Description
Le Crookie is a decadent combination of a cookie and a brownie in one. With a crisp cookie exterior and a gooey, rich brownie center, it’s the ultimate dessert for those who love the best of both worlds.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup Butter (softened)
- 1 cup Brown sugar (packed)
- 1/2 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 Eggs
- 2 tsp Vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup Cocoa powder
- 1 tsp Baking soda
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 1 cup Chocolate chips (semi-sweet or milk)
- 1/2 cup Walnuts (chopped, optional)
- 1/2 cup Dark chocolate (melted, for drizzling)
Instructions
- Preheat oven: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line a baking pan (9×9 inches) with parchment paper.
- Make the cookie dough: In a large bowl, cream together softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs and vanilla extract, beating until well combined.
- Add dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined.
- Fold in chocolate chips: Fold the chocolate chips and walnuts (if using) into the cookie dough.
- Prepare brownie batter: In another bowl, mix together melted dark chocolate, flour, sugar, and eggs until smooth. (Optional: You can add a pinch of salt for flavor enhancement.)
- Assemble the crookie: Press half of the cookie dough mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan. Spread the brownie batter evenly on top. Drop spoonfuls of the remaining cookie dough over the brownie batter, gently spreading it out.
- Bake: Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Cool and serve: Let the Le Crookie cool completely before drizzling with melted dark chocolate. Slice into squares and enjoy!
Notes
- You can experiment with different types of chocolate (e.g., milk or dark) for the brownie layer for a personalized flavor.
- If you prefer a more cookie-like texture on top, you can bake a few extra minutes.
