Ingredients

For the brownie

  • 75 g unsalted butter + more to butter the skillets
  • 120 g sugar
  • 35 g unsweetened cacao powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla essence
  • 1 egg cold from the fridge
  • 35 g all purpose flour

For the cookie

  • 125 g unsalted butter melted and at room temperature
  • 200 g brown sugar
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 1 egg
  • 245 g all purpose flour
  • 3/4 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 100 g dark chocolate chunks I used 60% cacao + more to top

Instructions

For the brownie

  1. Put the butter, sugar, cacao, salt and vanilla essence in the bowl where you're going to whip them up later.
  2. Put the bowl on a bain-marie without touching the surface of the water until everything is melted and mixed together.
  3. Remove the bowl from the bain marie and wait 5min for it to cool down a bit. You should be able to touch the outside of the bowl without burning yourself.
  4. Mix using a stand or hand-held mixer and add the egg. Mix until fully incorporated.

  5. Add the flour and mix for 2min on high speed.
  6. Butter the skillets and fill half of the batter in each. Reserve.

For the cookies

  1. Mix the butter with the brown sugar. Then add all the other ingredients finishing with the flour and chocolate chunks.

  2. We're not using half of the dough so you can freeze for future baking or use it to make cookies.

  3. Divide the dough that we're using in two and flatten out on your hands so that it's a bit smaller than the skillet. Place the dough on top of the brownie dough and press down slightly so it sinks to the same level as the brownie.

  4. Top with extra chocolate chunks and cover the skillets in tin foil making sure that it doesn't touch the surface of the cookie.

  5. Take to a preheated oven at 180C for 25min. Serve hot with vanilla ice cream.
