Method
- Preheat the oven to gas 5, 190°C, fan 170°C and grease a 20cm nonstick baking dish or frying pan with butter. To make the cookie dough, beat the butter and sugar together until pale and fluffy. Whisk in the egg and vanilla extract until just combined, then fold in the flour and bicarbonate of soda, followed by the chocolate. Transfer to the fridge to chill.
- Meanwhile, make the brownie. Melt the chocolate and butter in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of barely simmering water. When melted, stir, then whisk in the sugar until dissolved. Leave to cool for 5 mins before whisking in the eggs until just combined. In a separate bowl, mix the cocoa powder, fl our and a pinch of salt, then whisk into the chocolate until just combined.
- Microwave the peanut butter in 20 sec bursts until just loose. Spoon both the cookie and brownie batters into the baking dish, alternating and adding occasional spoonfuls of peanut butter. Drag a knife through the mixture to swirl a little.
- Bake the brookie for 20-25 mins – there should be a crust on top with a wobble in the centre. Leave to cool for 5 mins before serving with ice cream, if you like.
