Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease a standard 12-cup muffin tin with non-stick spray or butter, ensuring even coverage.
Begin by preparing the brownie layer: In a heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water, melt the butter and semi-sweet chocolate together, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
Whisk the granulated sugar, light brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract into the melted chocolate mixture until fully combined.
Sift together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt in a separate bowl. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Do not overmix.
Spoon approximately 1 1/2 tablespoons of the brownie batter into each greased muffin cup, spreading it evenly across the bottom.
Next, make the cookie layer: In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, approximately 2-3 minutes.
Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well incorporated.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.
Scoop about 1 1/2 tablespoons of cookie dough and flatten it slightly with your hands. Place it on top of the brownie layer in each muffin cup, gently pressing the edges to cover the brownie batter.
Bake the Brooksters in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the cookie layer is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean (a few moist crumbs are fine).
Allow the Brooksters to cool in the muffin tin for 10-15 minutes before carefully removing them. Place them on a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your delightful Brooksters!
