How to Make Brooksters

  1. **Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough:**
  2. Whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon fine grain sea salt, and 1 teaspoon baking soda in a large bowl. Set aside.
  3. In a mixing bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter, 1 cup granulated sugar, and 1 cup packed dark brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Gently fold in 2 cups chocolate chips.
  7. Cover and chill the dough in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours.
  8. **Brooksters Assembly:**
  9. Grease a 12-cup muffin tin.
  10. **Brownie Batter:** In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 teaspoon fine grain sea salt, and 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (from the original 2 cups). Set aside.
  11. Melt 6 tablespoons unsalted butter and 8 ounces chopped semi-sweet chocolate in a double boiler (or microwave).
  12. Stir in 1/2 cup granulated sugar and 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar until smooth.
  13. Remove from heat and cool to room temperature.
  14. Whisk in 2 large eggs and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until just combined. Gently fold in the dry brownie ingredients until just incorporated. Do not overmix.
  15. Fill each muffin cup halfway with brownie batter.
  16. Chill the muffin tin for at least 1 hour.
  17. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  18. Roll chilled cookie dough into small balls (slightly smaller than a golf ball).
  19. Flatten each ball into a disk and press into the center of each brownie-filled muffin cup.
  20. Bake for 30-35 minutes, rotating halfway through, until cookies are golden brown and the brownies are set.
  21. Let cool slightly in the tin before serving. Enjoy!
  22. **Extra Cookie Dough:** Roll remaining cookie dough into balls, flatten slightly, and bake on a parchment-lined baking sheet at 375°F (190°C) for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown. Let cool on a wire rack.
