Instructions

How to Make Fudgy Chewy Browkies

Prepare the Brownie Layer

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a medium bowl, melt the butter and mix in the sugar, eggs, and vanilla until well combined. Stir in the cocoa powder, gluten-free flour, salt, and baking powder to form a thick batter. Pour it into the bottom of a greased 8x8 inch baking dish.

Prepare the Cookie Layer

Using a separate bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, and vanilla. Beat in the egg, then add the gluten-free flour, baking soda, and salt, mixing until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips. Drop the cookie dough by spoonfuls over the brownie layer.

Bake

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center remains soft. Allow to cool slightly before serving.

Enjoy your delicious brookies!

Pro Tips

For extra chocolatey brookies, consider adding chopped nuts or additional chocolate chips to the batter.

Serving Suggestions

These brookies are versatile, making them fantastic for various occasions. Serve them warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an indulgent dessert. Alternatively, they can work as a delightful treat during coffee break or as an afternoon snack. Consider packaging them in decorative boxes as gifts for friends and family; they will surely appreciate such a sweet gesture.

For an extra touch, dust the top with powdered sugar or drizzle with melted chocolate before serving. These little details enhance their presentation and make them even more enticing to anyone who lays eyes on them.

Storing and Freezing Tips

Store any leftover brookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to four days. For longer storage, you can freeze them for up to three months. Simply wrap each brookie in plastic wrap and place them in a freezer-safe bag. When you're ready to enjoy them again, just thaw at room temperature or pop them in the microwave for a few seconds to warm them up.

When freezing, consider whether you’d like to freeze them individually or as a batch. Individual wraps are great for quick snacking, while freezing them all together can be a time saver for future gatherings. Just be sure to separate them with parchment paper if they’re stored in a large batch to prevent sticking.
