Crookie
Crookies are a hybrid dessert combining the best of both cookies and brownies. They feature a crispy edge with a soft, chewy center, thanks to the right baking time and ingredients like cocoa powder and chocolate chips.
Equipment
- Baking Sheet
- Oven
- Parchment Paper
Ingredients
Crookie Dough
- 1 ½ cups All-Purpose Flour
- ¼ cup Cocoa Powder unsweetened
- 1 tsp Baking Soda
- ½ tsp Salt
- ½ cup Unsalted Butter room temperature (226g)
- 1 cup Granulated Sugar 100g
- ½ cup Brown Sugar moisture-retaining
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 1 ½ cups Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt in a bowl.
- In a separate large bowl, cream butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time and add vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Fold in chocolate chips until evenly distributed in the dough.
- Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and place them 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 10 to 12 minutes. The edges should be golden brown, and the centers should remain soft and slightly gooey.
- Allow the crookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
To ensure the perfect texture, avoid overbaking. Every oven is different, so start checking at 10 minutes to ensure the centers remain soft.
