Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use any cookie dough for Brookies?

How do I achieve the perfect texture for my Brookies?

The key to achieving the perfect texture is in the baking time. You want the brownie layer to be cooked through but still slightly fudgy, while the cookie dough on top should be golden brown and chewy. Test the brookies with a toothpick – it should come out with a few moist crumbs for the ideal gooeyness.

Expert Tips

Just Right:Be cautious not to overbake! The brookies shouldstill be a bit gooey in the middlewhen you take them out of the oven, as they will continue to cook slightly as they cool. Use the toothpick test to check for doneness — when it comes out clean with maybe a few crumbs attached is when the brookie is done baking.

Chocolate Tips:For a glossy chocolate topping thatdoesn’t crack when cut, add a tablespoon of vegetable oil to your melted chocolate mixture. This keeps the chocolate slightly soft even when chilled.
