Brookies

These chewy chocolate brookies (brownie-cookies) are made with a blend of ground date sweetener and agave for a naturally rich flavour and a perfectly soft texture.

Ingredients
225g butter, softened
150g ground date sweetener
50g agave nectar sweetener
2 eggs
315g plain flour
1½ tsp baking powder
1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
1 tsp cornflour
250g chocolate, chopped

Method

Preheat the oven to 180°C (160°C fan) and line two baking trays with baking paper.

Cream together the butter, date sweetener, and agave nectar until pale and fluffy. Beat in the eggs, then add the flour, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda, and cornflour. Mix until you have a thick dough.

Fold in three-quarters of the chopped chocolate. Scoop out portions of dough (about 2 tablespoons each), roll into balls, and place on the trays. Press a few extra chocolate pieces on top.

Bake for 14 to 16 minutes until just golden on the edges. Let cool slightly before serving. These cookies stay soft for days!
