If you have never heard the term “brookie”, let me explain. Anything that is described as brookie is a combination of brownie and cookie. I have taken super chocolatey brownie batter and classic chocolate chip cookie dough and combined them to make a “cupcake”. I then created a decadent chocolate chip cookie dough frosting and put a hefty scoop of it on top of each cupcake. These brookie cupcakes with cookie dough frosting may just be my family’s new favorite dessert!
My cookie, brownie and cookie dough frosting recipe could each be enjoyed on their own as well. The frosting is a great edible cookie dough, and you could make some excellent chocolate chip cookies or brownies with those recipes. You could also make the brookie cupcakes ahead of time and freeze them for up to 3 months before enjoying! Another fun thing to do would be to make mini versions of these in mini muffin tins, or a large version in a cake pan or cast iron skillet. No matter what you do, I hope you enjoy this recipe!
