brookies

Brook-brown trout hybrids

Brookies are a hybrid dessert combining brownies and chocolate chip cookies, typically made by layering cookie dough over brownie batter and baking them together: I made brookies for the bake sale.

The portmanteau captures the appeal of getting two treats in one.

Separately, brookie is informal for brook trout, a freshwater fish native to eastern North America.
