Brookies

These pretty cookies were made by my daughter, Ella. She is a perfectionist and made sure that each cookie had an equal amount of brownie vs. chocolate chip cookie, which is why they are so pretty. When they cook, the mixture spreads and blends making almost a yin and yang design. If you enjoy those two desserts, this is a great recipe to make!

Tips:

  • Use small cookie scoops to portion out the dough.

  • Although I love that Silpat can be reused for years, baking on it is different than using parchment. The slippery surface makes cookies spread out more. So I recommend parchment.
