About Brookie

A brookie is a hybrid dessert that combines the rich, fudgy texture of a brownie with the soft, chewy sweetness of a chocolate chip cookie. Originating in American cuisine, it’s a popular treat for those who enjoy the best of both worlds. Brookies are calorie-dense, with approximately 450 calories per serving, comprised of 5g of protein, 60g of carbohydrates, 20g of fat, and 2g of fiber. They provide small amounts of calcium (20mg) and iron (1mg), but are not significant sources of vitamins C or D. Due to their high sugar and fat content, they are best enjoyed as an occasional indulgence in a balanced diet.
