Ingredients:
For the Chocolate Chip Cookies:
- 250g Plain Flour
- ½ tsp Baking Powder
- ½ tsp Salt
- 170g Unsalted Butter
- 200g Dark Brown Sugar
- 100g Caster Sugar
- ½ Vanilla Pod
- 1 Large Egg
- 300g Chocolate Chips
For the Chocolate Brownies:
- 250g Unsalted Butter
- 200g Dark Chocolate
- 100g Milk Chocolate
- 130g Plain Flour
- 4 Large Eggs
- ½ tsp Salt
- ½ Vanilla Pod
- 350g Caster Sugar
- 300g Chocolate Chips
Method:
- Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F/Gas mark 4.
- Grease a deep baking tray with Butter and line with baking paper.
- To make the Chocolate Chip Cookies, mix the softened Butter with the Dark Brown and Caster Sugar until creamy and smooth.
- Halve the Vanilla Pod and add the scrapings to the butter mix and stir through.
- Sieve the flour into a large mixing bowl and add the Baking Powder and Salt.
- Add the Egg to the butter mix and add the Flour slowly, a few spoonfuls at a time, stirring well until the mix has combined and thickened.
- Stir in the Chocolate Chips.
- Spread the cookie mixture into the deep baking tray, and set aside.
- To make the Chocolate Brownies, break the Chocolate into small chunks and melt in a bowl with the Butter over a pan of hot water (don’t allow the bowl and water to touch as this will burn the chocolate).
- In a separate large mixing bowl, beat the Eggs then add the Caster Sugar until thick and creamy, and add the scrapings of half a Vanilla Pod.
- Gently pour and fold in the melted chocolate, and then sift in the Flour mixed with the Salt, and mix well until fully combined.
- Pour the mixture into the tray on top of the cookie mixture.
- Place the tray into the oven for 20-25 minutes (a skewer inserted should only have a little bit of mixture on it. Return to the oven for an extra 5-10 minutes to firm the mixture, if needed).
- Once cooked, remove from the oven and allow to cool in the tin.
- When they have cooled enough to touch, slice, eat and enjoy the Bronkies immediately!
