One year, when driving back to Lakewood from Minneapolis, we stopped in South Bend to visit my brother and sister-in-law. She served us supper, and for dessert she put this on the table. All my kids start grabbing. With a full mouth, one of my kids said, “Yum! What is this?” “It’s a brookie!” “A what?” “A brownie and a cookie mixed together.” What a brilliant idea! You can’t decide which of the two best desserts to make, so you make both in one!   This recipe was featured during our Pesach in a Pot intiative in April 2022. For more great Passover ideas, watch Pesach in a Pot!

Ingredients

Brownie Layer

Cookie Layer

  • 1/2 cup sugar

  • 1 egg

  • 1/2 cup oil

  • 1 and 1/2 cups ground almonds

Directions

Prepare the Brookies

1.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line an eight-inch square baking pan with Gefen Parchment Paper.

2.

In a bowl, combine all brownie layer ingredients; pour into prepared pan.

3.

In a second bowl, combine cookie layer ingredients; place on brownie layer. (It’s easiest if you flatten pieces of the dough with your hand and place them on the bottom layer.)

4.

Bake for 35 minutes or until toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. When cooled, cut into squares.

Notes:

This recipe works best using a real pan; however, if you are using a disposable pan, you might have to increase the baking time by five to 10 minutes. Add 1/2 cup chocolate chips to the brownie layer to make it super chocolatey.

This is actually really good! There is a mistake in the cookie part of the recipe. The egg at the end of the first column belongs in the cookie segment, at least that’s what we did and it came out good. Also, next time I would one-and-a-half the cookie part of the recipe, I feel like it could have used more of it. Then I think it would become five stars.

Is the egg mentioned at the bottom of the brownie column supposed to be in the cookie column? Does the cookie batter have no eggs?

It was an error, we apologize! The egg mentioned in the bottom of the recipe belongs in the cookie layer.

Instructions are vague, ingredient list appears to be incorrect (brownie layer has eggs listed twice, I’m guessing the 1 egg is for the cookie layer. Needed a pinch of salt in both batters. Way too thick for an 8×8″ pan. Will try making it in a 9×13″ pan next time.
