Cookie + Brownie = Brookie 

This simple equation revolutionized the cookie game! This delightful dessert combines the best of both worlds, offering the rich, fudgy texture of a brownie with the chewy, sweet goodness of a cookie. Chocolate chips melt to provide a gooey texture with every bite.A fellow Class IV discip, Sadie Nair, who became intrigued by the recipe due to her baking experience, stated “It’s very moist and has a good cookie-to-brownie ratio.” Another Class IV discip, Vivian Dong, exclaimed, “It’s better than my mom’s brownies!” A few more Class IV students such as Safia Mohamed, Avery Cousley, Shawnie Wang, Nafasat Iffah, Cyrus Rawley, and George Godi expressed their satisfaction with joyful reactions. 

Although rigorous, this recipe will produce the perfect treat to enjoy while spending time with family and friends this holiday season! But what is the secret?
