Valentine’s Funfetti Cake Batter Skillet Brookie
Description
The recipe begins by mixing a standard packaged chocolate fudge brownie mix with vegetable oil and eggs to form the brownie base, which is poured into a prepared cast iron skillet. Separately, the cake batter cookie dough is prepared by creaming softened unsalted butter with granulated and brown sugars, then adding egg and vanilla extract. Flour, cake mix, and baking soda are whisked together before folding into the wet mixture, followed by sprinkles for color and texture.
Half of the cookie dough is pressed into discs and placed atop the brownie batter in the skillet, slightly covering the edges to integrate both layers. The skillet is baked in a preheated oven until the brookie is set, showcasing the combination of fudgy brownie and soft sprinkle-laden cookie topping.
This brookie is an indulgent treat suitable for celebrations, especially Valentine's Day, combining familiar dessert textures and flavors. It can be shared warm from the oven or cooled, with the frosting adding a decorative and sweet finishing touch.
Ingredients
For the Brownies:
- 1 box chocolate fudge brownie mix Pillsbury™
- ⅓ cup vegetable oil Crisco®
- ¼ cup water
- 2 egg
For the Cake Batter Cookies:
- ¾ cup butter softened, unsalted
- ½ cup granulated sugar white
- ½ cup light brown sugar packed
- 1 egg room temperature
- 1 ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ cup white cake mix Pillsbury™
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ cup Sprinkles
- 1 box vanilla frosting Pillsbury™ filled pastry bag
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Grease a 12 inch cast iron skillet and set aside.
- In a large bowl combine the brownie mix, vegetable oil, and eggs. Stir until well-blended, around 50 strokes. Pour into bottom of cast iron skillet.
- In the bowl of a stand or handheld mixer, add the butter and sugars, then beat with a paddle attachment on medium until smooth and slightly fluffy, around 3 minutes. Add the egg and beat on high for 1 minute, then add the vanilla extract and beat on high until combined.
- Whisk together the flour, cake mix, and baking soda, then add to the wet ingredients and beat on low until just combined. Do not overmix. Gently stir in the sprinkles, then divide the dough in half, saving one portion in an airtight container in the fridge for another use. Pull chunks of the dough apart and flatten into thick discs, then place them in the skillet with the brownie mix, pressing each piece down into the brownie mix to cover the edges only.
- Place skillet in the oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the middle is just barely set. The center should remain slightly fudgy, but shouldn’t visibly jiggle when shaken. Remove from oven and let sit until cool. Using the pastry bag, swirl vanilla frosting onto the skillet brookie in any pattern you’d like. Sprinkle with additional funfetti sprinkles and serve.
