CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER BROOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Grease a 9-inch square pan with cooking spray, line with parchment paper, then spray the parchment.
• For the peanut butter cookie base: Whisk together the flour, salt and baking soda in a medium bowl and set aside.
• Melt the butter in a medium microwave-safe bowl and then stir in the brown sugar and peanut butter until smooth. Stir in the egg white and vanilla until fully combined. Stir in the flour mixture and peanuts until combined, then transfer the dough into the prepared pan.
• Use a rubber spatula or your fingers to press the dough into an even layer. Bake until the cookie puffs up and the edges are light golden, 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, prepare the brownie batter.
• For the brownie batter: Put the butter in a medium saucepan and cook over medium heat until melted and bubbling, about 1 minute. Stir constantly with a rubber spatula until the butter is light golden brown, about 2 minutes. Transfer the browned butter to a heat-resistant medium bowl and stir in the chocolate chips until smooth. Stir in the brown sugar, cocoa powder, hot water and salt until combined. Stir in the eggs, yolk and vanilla until the eggs are fully incorporated. Stir in the flour until completely combined and the batter is thick and shiny. Pour the batter over the just baked peanut butter cookie base and spread it with a rubber spatula or spoon until smooth.
• Lower the oven to 300 degrees F and bake until a toothpick inserted about 3 inches from the edge of the pan comes out with fudgy crumbs, but no raw batter, 40 to 43 minutes. Let cool completely, about 2 hours 30 minutes.
• To finish: Melt the peanut butter in a small microwave-safe bowl in 10 second intervals, stirring after each, until it has the consistency of a smooth sauce, about 20 to 25 seconds total. Transfer to a small resealable plastic bag, snip off the tip and drizzle the peanut butter sauce over the bars. Sprinkle with the mini chocolate chips and then slice into 16 squares. The bars can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

BROWNIE COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper.
• Put the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and melt it in the microwave. Stir and let cool.
• Using an electric mixer, mix together the sugar and butter in a large bowl until totally combined. With the mixer on low, slowly drizzle in the cooled chocolate. Scrape the bowl and mix again. Mix in the eggs one at a time, then the vanilla. Scrape the bowl once more and mix.
• Combine the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt in a bowl and stir it together. Add it in scoops to the mixing bowl with the mixer on low. Scrape the bowl once and mix one final time until all combined.
• Scoop generous tablespoons of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, then bake until the cookies are poufy and set, 11 to 12 minutes. Let them sit on the baking sheet for 1 to 2 minutes, then remove them to a wire rack to cool completely. Repeat with the remaining dough.
• Once cool, sprinkle generously with powdered sugar.

BROOKIES

Steps:

• For the brownie batter: Preheat the oven 350 degrees F. Line a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with parchment, leaving a 2-inch overhang on the longer sides. Spray the bottom and sides of the pan lightly with cooking spray.
• Melt the chopped chocolate and butter in a medium saucepan over low heat, stirring occasionally, until smooth, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove from the heat, then stir in both sugars and cool slightly. Next, stir in the eggs, one at a time, until thoroughly combined, then stir in the vanilla. Stir in the flour and salt until just combined and no lumps remain. Set aside.
• For the cookie dough batter: Whisk the flour, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl until combined. Whisk the brown sugar, vanilla and melted butter in a large bowl until smooth, then whisk in the egg and yolk until combined. Fold the flour mixture into the butter mixture with a rubber spatula until just incorporated, then fold in the chocolate chips.
• Spread the brownie batter into the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Dollop the cookie dough batter on top of the brownie batter, then draw a skewer or butter knife through both batters to create a swirled effect. Bake until the edges have set, the top is glossy and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean and with just a couple small crumbs, 30 to 35 minutes.
• Place the baking dish on a wire rack and cool completely, about 1 hour. Use the parchment overhang to lift the brookies out of the baking dish and onto a cutting board. Cut into 24 small squares. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 3 months.

BROOKIES

Steps:

• Butter a 23cm square cake tin and line with baking parchment. Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. First, make the cookie layer. Put the butter and both sugars in a bowl and beat with an electric whisk until just combined. Alternatively, do this in a stand mixer. Add the whole egg and egg yolk, and beat again until combined. Mix in the flour, ¼ tsp salt, the bicarbonate of soda and chocolate chunks. Press the cookie dough into the base of the prepared tin using the back of a spoon, then chill for 30 mins.
• For the brownie layer, melt the butter and chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a pan of just simmering water, stirring until smooth and combined. Leave to cool slightly, about 10 mins. Whisk the eggs, vanilla and sugar together in a large bowl with an electric whisk until slightly thickened, about 3 mins. Fold the cooled chocolate and butter mixture through the beaten eggs with a large spoon until well combined.
• Fold the buttery chocolate mixture, cocoa and flour together to combine. Spoon the brownie mixture over the cookie dough layer, dot with the chocolate chunks, and sprinkle with sea salt flakes, if you like. Bake in the centre of the oven for 50 mins-1 hr, or until a skewer inserted into the middle comes out with just a few crumbs clinging to it. Leave to cool completely in the tin before cutting into squares.
