Recipe (20 cm mold):

Brownie layer:

• 3 eggs
• 100 g sugar
• 100 g dark chocolate, melted with 75 g butter
• 100 g all-purpose flour
• 25 g unsweetened cocoa powder
• 50 g chocolate chips

Cookie layer:

• 75 g softened butter
• 50 g of brown sugar
• 25 g white sugar
• 1 egg
• 100 g all-purpose flour
• 50 g chocolate chips

Instructions:

1. Prepare the brownie layer:
   • In a bowl, whisk together the eggs and sugar until the mixture is pale and slightly thickened.
   • Add the melted chocolate and butter mixture and stir until well combined.
   • Sift together flour and unsweetened cocoa powder and mix until well incorporated. Stir in chocolate chips.
2. Prepare the biscuit layer:
   • In another bowl, cream together the softened butter and both sugars until light and fluffy.
   • Add the egg and mix until well combined.
   • Stir in flour and fold in chocolate chips until evenly distributed.

3. Assemble the Brookie:
   • Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
   • Line the bottom of a 20cm springform pan with baking paper and grease the edges.
   • Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly.
   • Drop small pieces of cookie dough onto the brownie layer, covering the surface but leaving some spaces for a marbled effect.
4. Cook:
   • Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 40 minutes, depending on how done you want them. The top should be golden brown and slightly crispy, while the brownie layer remains soft.
   • Let the brookie cool in the pan for 10 minutes before carefully removing it from the springform pan.
5. Let cool and serve:
   • Let the brookie cool completely before slicing. Enjoy warm or store in an airtight container for later use.
