Cracked, Fudgy, Peanut Butter Brookies

There are brookies, and then there are ArgaNut brookies. This is not your average half-brownie, half-cookie hybrid. This is a culinary crescendo, where warm, dark chocolate folds into a cracked cookie exterior, only to reveal a soft molten heart. And just as you take a bite, a slow swirl of ArgaNut’s peanut butter, enriched with the rare luxury of Moroccan Argan oil, melt into the warmth, nutty, velvety, and unapologetically rich.

At ArgaNut, we don’t just create spreads. We craft moments elevated by one of Morocco’s most treasured ingredients: culinary argan oil.

In this recipe, we invite you to experience brookies the ArgaNut way: elegant, decadent, and unforgettable.

Ingredients: (For 6 to 7 cookies)

• 50g flour

• 5g cocoa powder

• 1g baking soda

• 65g light brown sugar

• 55g whole eggs

• 35g unsalted butter

• 105g dark chocolate (minimum 70% cocoa)

• A pinch of sea salt

• ArgaNut Peanut Butter with Argan Oil and Date Syrup, for swirling

Instructions:

1. Whisk the Base

In a bowl, whisk the eggs, sugar, and a pinch of salt until pale and slightly thickened, light enough to hold a gentle ribbon when the whisk is lifted.

2. Melt the Chocolate

Slowly melt the dark chocolate with the butter in a bain-marie or in the microwave. Let it cool slightly to 40°C, then pour into the egg mixture. Stir until smooth and glossy.

3. Fold in the Dry Ingredients:

Sift together the flour, cocoa powder, and baking soda. Fold them into the wet batter with care. You’re looking for a rich, dark, and luscious texture.

4. Cool the Batter:

Let the batter cool down to approx 20-25°C. This ensures a soft centre with beautifully cracked edges.

5. Scoop & Shape:

Spoon rustic rounds (approx 5cm) onto a lined baking tray, no need for perfection. Each one should look like it belongs in an artisanal bakery.

6. Bake to Perfection:

Bake at 180°C (fan 160°C) for 10–12 minutes. You want a set edge and a gooey middle. Trust the timing. Do not overbake.

7. The Signature Swirl:

While still warm, swirl ArgaNut Peanut Butter with Argan Oil and Date Syrup across each brookie. The heat will gently melt the peanut butter into silky ribbons of flavour.

Tips & Pairings: Elevate Every Bite

• For the ultimate finish, sprinkle flaky sea salt or crushed roasted peanuts over the peanut butter swirl.

• Plating suggestion: serve warm on a stoneware plate with a spoonful vanilla bean gelato.
