Description

Chocolate chip cookie meets brownie in this peanut butter cup brookies extravaganza. Sweet layers of indulgence combine with creamy peanut butter cups, promising delightful textures you’ll savor with each incredible bite.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 box brownie mix
  • 1 roll refrigerated chocolate chip cookie dough
  • 12 Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups
  • 2 large eggs
  • ⅓ cup (79 ml) vegetable oil
  • ¼ cup (59 ml) water

Instructions

  1. Preparation: Preheat oven to 350°F and meticulously line muffin tin with cupcake liners, ensuring complete cavity coverage for seamless removal.
  2. Cookie Base: Press chilled chocolate chip cookie dough slices uniformly into cupcake liners, creating a robust foundation for the Brookies.
  3. Chocolate Core: Strategically place inverted Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups atop cookie dough layer, establishing a hidden chocolaty-peanut butter center.
  4. Brownie Infusion: Whisk brownie mix to achieve a silky, lump-free consistency, then gently pour batter over peanut butter cups, filling liners three-quarters full to accommodate rising.
  5. Baking Process: Slide muffin tin into preheated oven, baking for 18-20 minutes until Brookies are set and a toothpick inserted near center reveals minimal moist crumbs.
  6. Cooling Stage: Allow Brookies to rest in tin for 5-10 minutes, then delicately transfer to wire rack for complete cooling, preserving their decadent texture and intricate layers.

Notes

  • Maintain Precise Measurements: Follow each ingredient quantity exactly to achieve the perfect Brookie texture and taste.
  • Check Cookie Dough Temperature: Ensure cookie dough is chilled for easier handling and prevents spreading during baking.
  • Watch Baking Time Carefully: Ovens vary, so start checking at 16 minutes to prevent overbaking and maintain a moist center.
  • Use Room Temperature Ingredients: Bring eggs and other refrigerated items to room temperature for smoother mixing and better integration.
