Directions for: Skillet Brookie
Ingredients
Brownie1 oz (28 g) good-quality semi-sweet dark chocolate (I like to use the "Mi-Amre" chocolate from Cacao Barry)
2 Tbsp (28 g) unsalted butter
large egg
1 Tbsp (12 g) granulated sugar
1 Tbsp (15 g) light brown sugar
⅛ tsp vanilla extract
2 Tbsp (18 g) all-purpose flour
2 Tbsp (12 g) cocoa powder
pinch salt
Cookie2 Tbsp (28 g) unsalted butter, softened
2 Tbsp (25 g) granulated sugar
2 Tbsp (28 g) light brown sugar
large egg
tsp vanilla extract
5 Tbsp (45 g) all-purpose flour
⅛ tsp baking soda
pinch salt
2 Tbsp dark chocolate chips
Directions
Brownie1. Preheat the oven to 350F (180C). Butter a 17 cm (6.5-inch) cast iron skillet or cake pan.
2. Prepare the brownie batter by melting the dark chocolate in a microwave safe bowl at 50 percent power (about 2 minutes), stirring ever minute or so. Add the butter, and microwave again for an additional minute at 50% power or until the butter is melted. Stir well, then let cool before adding the egg, sugars and vanilla. Add the flour to the bowl and sift in the cocoa powder to remove any lumps. Stir everything together with the salt. Set aside.
Cookie1. Prepare the cookie dough by stirring together the butter and the sugars until they are well mixed. Add in the egg and the vanilla, and mix well again. Dump in the flour, baking soda, and salt, and stir until the dough comes together. Mix in the chocolate chips.
2. Place a 3-inch heart-shaped cookie cutter in the centre of the prepared skillet and spoon the cookie batter inside the heart. Carefully lift up the cookie cutter to remove it, leaving behind the heart-shaped cookie. Spoon the brownie batter into the pan, smoothing it around the cookie heart.
3. Bake the brookie 10 minutes then remove the pan from the oven and fix the cookie heart using the back of a knife to smudge it back into a heart shape. Put the pan back in the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes or until set.
4. Optional: Serve with really food vanilla ice cream!
