What do you get when you top a layer of brownie batter with a layer of chocolate chip cookie dough? Brookies! It was a creation by Jovon English. Her brookies are in the form of a cupcake. The marriage of these two desserts will satisfy any sweet tooth craving you have. And, to top it off, this recipe is a cinch to make. Because my right hand is still in a splint, making dishes like this from scratch makes it labour intensive and my wrist aches when used too much. I purchased a brownie mix and a chocolate chip cookie mix. Otherwise, I would have to wait until my strength and flexibility comes back. This dessert is perfect for a family gathering or for your next book club meeting. Brookies are sure to garner some oohs and ahhs.

method
Preheat oven to 350f (180c). Grab a 9″ x 13″ parchment-lined pan and add brownie batter. Spread evenly. Then add chunks of chocolate chip cookie dough to the top. Don’t worry if the dough does not cover the brownie batter as it will spread when it bakes. Plus, it looks nice when you see bits of the brownie poking through. Bake for 30 minutes.

the culinary chase’s note:
Sprinkle with sea salt when brookies are removed from the oven. Enjoy!

Strawberry Rhubarb Crisp
In my family, rhubarb meant one thing: crisp. Baked every spring in my great-grandmother’s Pyrex dish, it feels like four generations are in the kitchen together.
Lemon Posset
No eggs. No gelatin. No fuss. Fresh lemon juice sets hot, sweetened cream into something between a feather-light mousse and a velvet panna cotta.
Rhubarb Tart
My mom’s rhubarb patch was our childhood hiding place. Now those ruby stalks are baked into a brown sugar and almond filling on a buttery crust.
