Brookies

Jhuls @ The Not So Creative Cook

9 years ago

It is so fun how food become so creative these days – the names of the food itself, the way how people combine two recipes together to create a new one… or how people mix and match ingredients from various recipes that they come out with one more amazing recipe.

Red Velvet Tiramisu Brownies. Nutty Coconut Brownies. German Chocolate Brownies. Graham Chocolate Chip Cookies. Chocolate Cake Cheesecake. Marshmallow Oreo Brownies.

Sorry, I was craving brownies for more than a week, but I don’t know why I couldn’t make one. Maybe I want something else – not the plain, classic one. A new one. Create my own? Not yet.

I think everyone wants to create theirs. I also want to create one, but baking is a kind of science that you need to get the right formula if you don’t want to end up crying. Well, for some, they really take the risk, but I don’t think I will be able to create one recipe that I could really say it originates from me. Maybe… one day! We don’t know.

Hmm… let me take back myself from the wonderland and accept the fact that what I can do for the meantime is combine two of my favorites – brownies and cookies. I’ve been seeing Brookies for as long as I can remember and I really wanted to try making some. When I baked Lily’s cookies, I did not use all the cookie batter and experimented on Brookies. I used the last brownie recipe I have which is a cake-like brownies. Since it’s a cake-like brownies, the cookie batter was heavier than the brownie batter that it did not ‘float’. I was expecting a cookie over the brownie cups, but I got a cookie ‘ball’ inside the brownie cups. I was just going to cry, but when I took a bite – wow, my two loves in one. It’s like the brownie married the cookie and they got a child named Brookie. 😀

I am thinking of making another batch of Brookies using different recipes to find out what went wrong with mine. I’d say that I’ll keep on trying until I found one that’s appealing to my eyes.

I hope you like this batch of Brookies. How about you? Have you tried making one? I want to know about the recipe you followed. 🙂
