is this a brownie or a cookie? it's a brownie in the shape of a cookie. think brownie but with a little more structure AND in a circular shape.
this is the best brookie recipe because of it's fudgy, decadent bite.
the peppermint and white chocolate marry perfectly and fill your mouth with a delicious, holiday flavor.
this recipe requires a little bit more of love with the additional steps of melting some chocolate and chilling the dough...

frequently asked questions
a brownie but in cookie form! it has the fudgy center that everyone loves in a brownie but in the shape of a cooie. the outer edges have a nice structure without being too crunchy.
brookies are done when they are fully cooked on the outside but still soft in the center. no one likes a hard brownie when they bite into it.
you may have taken the brownies out a few minutes to early. BUT, i will never be mad about an undercooked brownie and i don't think anyone else would be either...
i suggest leaving the brookies for ~10 minutes on the baking tray then transferring them to a cooling rack for 5 to 10 minutes so that they don't fall apart in your hand!
i did not calculate the calories on this recipe as these are an indulgent treat. however, i do believe in listening to your body and knowing when you are satisfied. i don't like to wake up with a sugar hangover!
