Do you know how people say, “Don’t judge a book by its cover”? No one told Little Red Kitchen Bake Shop because their Classic Brookie is out here masquerading as a humble chocolate chip cookie. Oh, but wait — the drama unfolds when you break it in half and discover a brownie lurking in the center. Yes, a brownie. Inside the cookie. One dessert at a time just isn’t enough anymore.
First, let’s talk about the Classic Brookie, which I can only assume is a direct response to humanity’s inability to choose between cookies and brownies. On the outside, it’s an unassuming chocolate chip cookie, but slice it open, and boom — dark chocolate brownie filling. It’s like finding a plot twist in an otherwise predictable movie. Except, instead of a murderer in the study with a candlestick, it’s a brownie, which is arguably less dangerous but equally thrilling for chocolate lovers.
Then there’s the Peanut Butter Brookie, which takes the concept and says, “Hold my milk.” Imagine a peanut butter cookie embracing that same gooey dark chocolate brownie. It’s a flavor combination that’s almost too good to be true. If the Classic Brookie is the dependable protagonist, the Peanut Butter Brookie is the charming sidekick who occasionally steals the spotlight.
Naturally, I had to try both because how else does one make informed dessert decisions? The Classic Brookie was rich, decadent, and filled with enough chocolate to keep even the most die-hard chocoholics quiet for a few minutes. The Peanut Butter Brookie? Oh, the kind of dessert makes you question why you ever wasted time eating anything else. The peanut butter flavor is bold but not overpowering, blending perfectly with the brownie’s dark chocolate intensity.
Let’s address the elephant in the room: these things are designed to test your self-control. “Just one” turns into “just one of each,” and before you know it, you’re staring at an empty plate, wondering what happened to all the Brookies you ordered. (Spoiler: you ate them.)
For those who can’t decide between the Classic and Peanut Butter Brookie, getting a mix of both is an option. Why settle for one flavor when you can have an existential crisis over which one you like better? Pro tip: eat them both and let your taste buds sort it out.
If you want to test your dessert devotion, you can find these creations at Little Red Kitchen Bake Shop. The Classic Brookie and Peanut Butter Brookie are available here, but fair warning: they’re highly addictive and will likely ruin all other desserts for you. Proceed with caution.
