Why bake cookies in your Instant Pot?
Because you can, that’s why! But just because you can doesn’t mean you should. Instant Pots have been touted as a way to cook almost anything better, faster, and easier. We’ve found when it comes to cookies, however, that’s usually not the case. We’ve been successful at baking cookies in our Instant Pot (see video below), but we’ve found our favorite way to enjoy an Instant Pot cookie is to make it a brookie!
We experimented with our oven brookie bar recipe and instead of a chewy, brownie-cookie combo, we ended up with something a bit more light and fluffy. Both are delicious, depending on what you are going for. The benefits to using your Instant Pot is that it’s an alternative to heating up the oven on a hot day. Top your Brookie Cup with a dollup of our favorite ice cream and it’s the perfect summertime treat.
The amazing bonus? Unlike other cookie recipes, these brookies actually have a shorter baking time than brookies in the oven.
Ingredients
- 1 batch of your favorite cookie dough
- 1 batch of your favorite brownie batter
Directions
- Make and refrigerate cookie dough.
- Prepare brownie batter and pour into small, oven-safe baking dishes (about 1/4 cup in a 3-inch ramekin).
- Remove cookie dough from fridge.
- Place a few small balls of dough over brownie batter:
- Cover each dish with aluminum foil.
- Place a metal trivet in the bottom of your Instant Pot's inner pot, then add 1 cup water.
- Place covered baking dishes on trivet.
- Use a layered or stacking trivets to cook more than one layer of brookie cups at a time.
- Seal Instant Pot lid and set to cook on high pressure for 20 minutes.
- When done cooking, let the Instant Pot steam release (quick or slow) and allow dishes to cool before handling with bare hands.
- Enjoy warm or cool.
Enjoy!
