Ingredients

For the Brookie:

• 1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 3/4 cup brown sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 2 tsp vanilla extract
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 cup chocolate chips
• 1 cup chopped pecans (plus extra for topping)

For the Kahlua Caramel Sauce:

• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 6 tbsp unsalted butter
• 1/2 cup Kahlua (or substitute with heavy cream for a non-alcoholic version)

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven:
   Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). You do not need to pre-heat your skillet.
2. Mix the Wet Ingredients:
   In a large mixing bowl, beat the room temperature butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together using a hand mixer or stand mixer until creamy. Gradually add the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract and mix until well combined.
3. Combine Dry Ingredients:
   In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients into the butter mixture, mixing just until combined.
4. Fold in the Goodness:
   Carefully fold in the chocolate chips and chopped pecans. The mixture will be thick. If your skillet isn’t well-seasoned, lightly spray it with cooking spray or use a bit of lard to ensure easy removal. Spoon the batter into a 12-inch skillet and top with additional chocolate chips and pecans if desired.
5. Bake:
   Place the skillet in the oven and bake for 35 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.

Kahlua Caramel Sauce

While your brookie is baking, prepare the caramel sauce:

1. Cook the Sugar:
   In a cast iron saucepan over medium-low heat, add the granulated sugar and stir continuously as it begins to brown. Watch for clumping; once it melts into a liquid, stop stirring.
2. Add the Butter:
   Carefully add the butter to the melted sugar, stirring constantly until fully incorporated. Let it bubble for a couple of minutes.
3. Incorporate the Kahlua:
   Gradually pour in the Kahlua while stirring. Expect some sizzling! Allow the mixture to boil for 1 minute, then remove from heat.
4. Cool and Store:
   Transfer the caramel into a heat-proof jar (like a mason jar). It will thicken as it cools. Use it to drizzle over your brookie or store it for later!
