Brookie Pie

Brownies and chocolate chip cookies are some of my favorite treats.Today, I’m showing you something different because we are going to put together these 2 desserts in a pie.

This brookie pie has a chocolate chip cookie layer and a brownie layer. This is baked in a deep pie dish.

This is an easy dessert that you can fix super quick if you want to surprise your family or if you want to make it a gift.

Also, I want to tell you that I made this dessert with a plant-based butter. This butter was gifted to me by Fora Foods and it’s called For a Butter. You can get their butter online https://forafoods.com/

Let’s start baking.

Yield one 9 inch deep pie dish

Ingredients

For the cookie layer

1 and 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

113.4 grams of unsalted butter (1 stick – 1/2 cup) at room temperature

*For this recipe, I used a plant-base butter called “For A Butter”. If you want to give it a try this is their website: https://forafoods.com/

*You can use regular butter too.

6 tablespoons white granulated sugar

6 tablespoons light brown sugar (packed)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 egg at room temperature

1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

For the brownie layer

1/2 cup of butter (1 stick)

1 cup white granulated sugar

2 large eggs, at room temperature

1 teasppon vanilla extract

1/3 cup dark cocoa powder

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

1/4 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

Directions

For the cookie layer

1.- Get your pie dish ready. Grease the bottom and sides of your pie dish with butter. Preheat your oven to 350 F.

2.- In a small bowl mix flour, baking soda and salt. Set aside.

3.- In another bowl and using a mixer, beat the butter for 2 minutes. Then, add granulated sugar and light brown sugar and cream your ingredients for about 2-3 minutes until light and fluffy.

4.- Add egg and beat well. Add in vanilla extract and beat for another 30 seconds.

5.- Add dry ingredients and mix in low speed until everything is well combined.

6.- Add chocolate chips, mix.

7.- Pour this cookie dough into the bottom of your prepared dish and use a spatula or spoon to smooth it out.

8.- Set your pie dish aside. Now, let’s make the brownie batter.

For the brownie batter

1.- In a small saucepan, melt your butter.

2.- Remove pan from the heat and add granulated sugar. Mix well. Let it cool for 5 minutes.

3.- Add eggs and whisk really well because you don’t want your eggs to cook (the butter mixture might be still hot).

4.- Mix in vanilla extract, keep whisking.

5.- Add in cocoa powder, flour, baking powder and salt. Mix well until you don’t see any leftover flour.

6.- Pour brownie batter on top of the cookie dough and bake for about 1 hour or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out with a few crumbs from the brownie, a few wet crumbs is ok but not runny. If you think your brownie needs more baking time but the edges are starting to look kinda toasty, grab a piece of foil and cover the top, keep baking.

7.- Let it cool completely and then cut it like it in slices like a pie.

Enjoy! You can add a scoop of ice cream on the top.
