Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Place the butter, oil and 1 cup of chocolate chips in a microwave safe bowl (or in a metal bowl over a double boiler) and heat in 1 minute intervals until chocolate in melted. Allow to cool.
- In another bowl whisk the eggs, peppermint extract, and brown sugar until combined. Stir into the chocolate mixture.
- In another bowl whisk the flour, baking powder and salt to combine. Add the flour mixture into the chocolate/egg mixture and stir to combine.
- Fold in the remaining cup of chocolate chips and chopped candies.
- Refrigerate the mixture for 10-15 minutes to firm up slightly
- Using a 2 tablespoon ice cream scooper or spoon, place the cookies on a parchment or silpat lined baking sheet.
- Bake for 12 minutes or until the tops look dry and cracked.
- Allow to cool for 2 minutes on baking sheet then transfer to cooling rack to cool completely. The brookies will be soft and chewy.
Notes
- Get Crushing: The easiest way to crush candies is to place them in a baggie and use a rolling pin. You can also use a meat mallet, but you risk tearing the bag.
- Make Your Favorite: You don't have to mix in peppermint candies, or even any candy at all. These brownie cookies taste great even without anything extra!
- Melting Chocolate: You can use a microwave or double-boiler, whichever is easiest.
- Not a Mint Fan?: Feel free to swap the peppermint extract for vanilla extract and replace the crushed peppermint candies with another candy of your choice.
