Description
To understand why this dessert is taking over modern bakeries, it helps to break down exactly what a brookie is. The word itself is a portmanteau of brownie and cookie. In a standard version, you would find a layer of traditional chocolate fudge brownie batter topped with a layer of classic chocolate chip cookie dough.
