Episode Transcription

Matthew Amster-Burton  0:00  

Music. I'm Matthew, and I'm Molly, and this is spilled milk, the show where we cook something delicious, eat it all, and you can't have any today.

 

Molly  0:10  

We are talking about brookies. This

 

Matthew Amster-Burton  0:13  

is maybe the most important topic we've ever done.

 

Molly  0:16  

This is a word I'd never even heard of until, like, two years ago.

 

Matthew Amster-Burton  0:20  

Where did why are we doing this?

 

Molly  0:23  

Oh, I don't know. I think I thought of it or something. All

 

Matthew Amster-Burton  0:25  

right, great. So these are a combination brownie and cookie. That's right, and we, we don't know why we're doing it, but

 

Unknown Speaker  0:35  

Happy Thanksgiving, Happy Thanksgiving and

 

Matthew Amster-Burton  0:38  

Memory Lane, take it away

 

Molly  0:41  

well. So if anybody wants to know exactly what we mean by a combination brownie and cookie, a Brookie is a bar cookie that is a layer of brownie on the bottom and a layer of chocolate chip cookie on top. By

 

Matthew Amster-Burton  0:52  

defining it up front, we're sort of, we're sort of ruining a joke. I'm gonna make it in the man, it's okay. No, it's fine.

 

Molly  0:59  

So I've only had these once prior to today, and it was right after Ames was born. Some friends gave us a meal, train meal, and they gave us some brookies, and they labeled them brookies. And I was like, What are these? I'd never heard of them before. My feeling about them at the time, and this is no slight against our friends, is that I feel like, when you put the two things together, you kind of don't taste either one. Okay.

 

Matthew Amster-Burton  1:24  

I want to talk about that concept in general, like, in a minute. Okay. So first of all, I can't believe you put your friends on blast, like that.

 

Molly  1:33  

So nice. They were so kind to bring them to us. And believe me, I mean, we ate all the brookies. Oh, yeah. I just was kind of like, I don't know if this is a thing I'm gonna be into, yeah, but

 

Matthew Amster-Burton  1:44  

I mean, they from now on hand, layer two different kinds of batter. Can you imagine all the all the work of a layering?

 

Molly  1:52  

The other thing, you know, it already takes, you know, some work to make homemade brownies and homemade cookies. Why would you then put it all together. I

 

Matthew Amster-Burton  2:01  

made these from scratch yesterday, and I was like, sitting like, you know, it was like A Beautiful Mind sort of moment where I was like, surrounded by, like, scrolls I'd made of, like, this is what goes into the brownie batter, and this is what goes into the cookie dough. And, like, don't get them confused. Lori made these few times back when we first when the book The weekend Baker by Abigail Johnson dodge came out in 2005 Oh, wow. They are not called brookies in the book, because the word dates from about 2016 got it. But they're called Chocolate Chip brownie double deckers, I believe. Okay, I think we kind of had the same experience where, like this, these look cool and like seem like they would be great, but are not as good as one of those things by itself. Yeah, it's interesting, but not bad, because it's still a cookie.

 

Molly  2:45  

I'm amazed that that this, this has been popular enough to get its own name, yeah?

 

Matthew Amster-Burton  2:50  

And I think, I think maybe it's like a trend that's that's on the Wayne. But who knows? I don't know. I don't know what trend. Who knows. So, what are brookies, you may ask.

 

Molly  2:59  

So I'm guessing there are lots of other things referred to as brookies. Well, Wikipedia has

 

Matthew Amster-Burton  3:04  

several definitions, and this isn't even all of them, a nickname for Brooklyn supreme, possibly the largest horse of all time. Horse person. Oh, we'll get there in a minute. Don't worry. Okay, I want to know, were you already familiar with Brooklyn supreme as a horse fan? Never a nickname for Brooke trout. Now, I think I'd heard that before, a nickname for Brookside, a British soap opera which ran from 1982 to 2003 nope, a recipient of the brook Owens fellowship for undergraduate Women in Aerospace, okay, and also a dessert made by combining a brownie and a cookie. Nope, never

 

Molly  3:36  

heard of it. Okay,

 

Matthew Amster-Burton  3:37  

so let's talk about the British soap opera. Here's a quote from Wikipedia about something that happened on Brookside. The Brookside Wikipedia page, like all soap opera Wikipedia pages, is the best quote once Mandy was finally acquitted and released, having won an appeal, she gave birth to sinbads Baby, but then moved to Bristol to work in a refuge for abused women, leaving unlucky Sinbad alone once again. Oh, wow.

 

Molly  3:59  

This sounds like a real soap opera.

 

Matthew Amster-Burton  4:02  

It's a real soap opera. There's a like, that's one of the least wild things that happened, okay? But apparently, like, the big plot that everyone remembers, like the who shot Jr moment, was the body under the patio. Oh, wow. So, like, if you, if you were, like, a British TV, daytime TV viewer of a certain age, like you probably remember the body under the patio, or I'm probably getting it slightly wrong. Okay, now let's talk about Brooklyn supreme, great Brooklyn, Brookie supreme, April 12, 1928 to September 6. 1948 was a red Roan Belgian stallion noted for his extreme size, although disputed, the horse may be the world record holder for largest, but not tallest horse, what and was designated the world's heaviest horse. Oh, he stood 19.2 hands tall and weighed 3200 pounds with a girth of 10 feet two inches. How does that compare to your favorite horse? Boomer? Oh,

 

Molly  4:56  

okay, so Boomer is 16 one, okay. And. And I don't know what his girth is. Have

 

Matthew Amster-Burton  5:04  

you weighed him? I haven't weighed him. Okay, no, all right. Well, this, anyway, you can see a picture of like a big horse standing next to a little guy. Does

 

Molly  5:11  

he look like he's been like, overfed, or just just, like a big guy? No, he's

 

Matthew Amster-Burton  5:16  

just just a big, Husky horse. Yeah, maybe, I

 

Molly  5:18  

mean, maybe I don't. I wonder what kind of Belgian horse. He was, I mean, red Roan stallion. Maybe he was, like a draft horse or something might have been. So he, he needed to be big to pull all those things.

 

Matthew Amster-Burton  5:32  

Yeah, this was known as a horse that could pull anything like a heist. Could pull get like, how 19.2

 

Molly  5:42  

the biggest horse that I've ever ridden was 17.1

 

Matthew Amster-Burton  5:45  

hands. Okay. Like, I feel like I would need, like, a step ladder to get on this horse. I

 

Molly  5:51  

think we all would, okay, yeah, even, like, so when we say that this guy was 19 two, that's at the withers. So, like at the highest point, and we

 

Matthew Amster-Burton  6:02  

all know what the withers are, that guy thinks lovely day.

 

Molly  6:07  

That's right, Bill Withers, yes. Can we eat your homemade cookies? Absolutely.

 

Matthew Amster-Burton  6:10  

So I've got, I took a couple out of the freezer here because Abigail Johnson dodge says they're really good out of the freezer. I think these might still be a little too frozen to eat. Okay, so, but I also have some room temperature you

 

Molly  6:22  

want to point out that these have a really nice crackly top.

 

Matthew Amster-Burton  6:26  

It's an it's a good recipe, yeah,

 

oh boy, here we go. Yeah, someone in my house just just had dental surgery, and it looks like the trend is going to

 

Molly  6:38  

continue. I mean, maybe I shouldn't have rushed. I should have given it another minute. I should have pretty good though. Want to try room temperature. Yeah, let me try a little bit of room temp, and then I'll come back to the frozen Yeah. How does the top have that nice crackly thing?

 

Matthew Amster-Burton  6:50  

I don't know. It seemed like a pretty straightforward chocolate chip cookie recipe.

 

Molly  6:55  

Is this a cocoa brownie?

 

Matthew Amster-Burton  6:56  

It is? Does have any chocolate? Okay, I could only taste the brownie. Yeah, I do like the kind of stickiness of the frozen one.

 

Molly  7:05  

Hold on. I'm gonna eat it with the chocolate chip cookie part down.

 

Matthew Amster-Burton  7:08  

Oh, Dan Pashman would be so proud of us still

 

Molly  7:11  

only tasting the brownie. I mean, don't get me wrong, I'm gonna finish these.

 

Matthew Amster-Burton  7:17  

I do like the frozen one.

 

Molly  7:19  

I do like the fuginess. Where do you think that comes from?

 

Matthew Amster-Burton  7:23  

You do like cream, the butter and sugar really well. I think that can cause some fudginess. I don't know. Okay,

 

Molly  7:30  

I do like the frozen one better. Yeah, I'm gonna give this a

 

Matthew Amster-Burton  7:33  

solid, fine, solid, fine, okay, if we had like a scale, what else is on your scale? What's what's a step below and a step above fine. Hold on, I'm really enjoying the caramel texture. Okay, so like, above fine can be like, super fine and below fine, coarse. Those are gonna be our three ratings.

 

Molly  7:54  

If I were eating this with my eyes closed,

 

Matthew Amster-Burton  7:57  

I'm not sure what I would think it was. You wouldn't pick up that there was a chocolate chip cookie involved. Absolutely not it seems like a brownie. It totally seems like a brownie. And it's over here. I mean, it's partly because I didn't distribute the chocolate chip cookie dough very evenly. So what about this bit over here? Where, where there's like, thicker. Okay,

 

Molly  8:17  

so, oh, wow, you really distributed. You kind of, you kind

 

Matthew Amster-Burton  8:22  

of plop down BLOPS of cookie dough. You know, you can't really, like, spread cookie dough evenly over brownie bad, no, this is,

 

Molly  8:30  

I mean, this is a problem, a real like,

 

Matthew Amster-Burton  8:33  

it's a huge problem. It's

 

Molly  8:36  

a Newtonian fluids.

 

Matthew Amster-Burton  8:37  

It, yeah, that's exactly it. I straight up, don't

 

Molly  8:41  

taste the chocolate chip cookie,

 

Matthew Amster-Burton  8:43  

but it does look cool, right? Mm, hmm. I

 

Molly  8:46  

mean, oh, there,

 

Matthew Amster-Burton  8:47  

yep. Did you just get it? What have you shaved the top off, like with a chisel and just ate the top? Yeah. Like a table saw. Have you? Have you heard of this thing that, like, it's like a safety feature that you can get for your table. Saw that, like, if it touches flesh, it immediately stops, oh,

 

Molly  9:05  

this would activate the flesh meter.

 

Matthew Amster-Burton  9:09  

I love the term flesh meter.

 

Molly  9:11  

What's wrong? Like, the flesh of the flesh warning, yeah.

 

Matthew Amster-Burton  9:18  

That's yeah. When I was watching like, Cinemax late at night, and there was, like, a flesh warning. I'm like, Okay, now the good stuff is

 

Molly  9:25  

no, like, have you ever, you know, been in the ocean and and there's no flesh warning, and then all of a sudden, your bikini top is just taken off by a wave? Yeah,

 

Matthew Amster-Burton  9:33  

often I thought you were gonna say something about shark, a shark attack, when I like, this much better. No,

 

Molly  9:38  

this is a real there's, there's gonna be some flesh,

 

Matthew Amster-Burton  9:41  

right? Oh, like, Wait, when you say there's no flesh, warning is, like, You mean, like, there's a sign that says, like, no nude sunbathing,

 

Molly  9:47  

there's no warning, and then a wave just comes along and reveals your flesh. Yeah, it

 

Matthew Amster-Burton  9:52  

can happen to anyone. I mean, you have to be in the in the ocean. It's probably not gonna happen to us here in the studio. Yeah, anyway, what were we saying? Oh, yeah, whether you should try to peel the layers apart with a table saw. Oh, right. So I think you can find YouTube videos of someone like, like, try to run a hot dog through the table saw, and it did just like, yeah, pretty cool.

 

Molly  10:13  

Could you What about like, a steak? You couldn't run a steak through there. You could not.

 

Matthew Amster-Burton  10:17  

So I think you can, like, turn the feature off. There's like a, you know, like a safety override, yeah, but I don't, I don't think they use, like a table saw that maybe he's like a band saw. I

 

Molly  10:29  

think you're right. I don't know what, how's it table saw different from a miter saw. I

 

Matthew Amster-Burton  10:34  

have no idea what a miter saw I was about to get, like, you know, be really proud of myself for knowing there's a band saw and a table saw. No idea

 

Molly  10:42  

my spouse has a table saw. No, my spouse has a miter saw. Maybe a table saw is just one of those ones that's like, you know, a rotating circular blade with a handle, and you just, yes, yeah. So,

 

Matthew Amster-Burton  10:54  

like, if there's a table and there's like a, like, a circular saw blade poking up through the table, that's a table saw. What does a miter saw look like? Well, this is exactly what people tune in,

 

Unknown Speaker  11:07  

kind of tool talk,

 

Molly  11:08  

okay, if you imagine, imagine a paper cutter, one of those ones that's got a flat plank with this blade that lifts and lowers, yeah. Imagine, instead of the blade, there's a circular, Oh, yeah. Like, table saw blood. So I don't know it's the same kind of it's the

 

Matthew Amster-Burton  11:23  

same kind of blade, but I don't think you would call that a table saw. Table saw is for, like, pushing things through a rotating blade. That's like, so this you bring the blade down on it, yeah. Just different for different kinds of jobs, I think different strokes for different folks, different strikes, yes, that's, yeah, yeah. And when I said Tool Time, like, Tool Time was a segment from, from the show, different strokes.

 

Molly  11:47  

Okay, now wait, a band saw is where there's a blade mounted vertically, yes,

 

Matthew Amster-Burton  11:52  

and it's like, on, like, a long band that, like, rotates. Oh, it is, oh, yeah, yeah, oh, I don't know what you're thinking. I

 

Molly  11:59  

thought that it was, oh, that's a

 

Matthew Amster-Burton  12:01  

jigsaw. You're thinking of a jigsaw.

 

Unknown Speaker  12:05  

I just made the jigsaw. Yeah.

 

Matthew Amster-Burton  12:08  

Like, yeah. I was, I was frightened there that I might sustain a workplace injury.

 

Unknown Speaker  12:13  

I, like, pointed repeatedly to the

 

Matthew Amster-Burton  12:16  

Yeah, no, no. I knew exactly, like, as soon as you did that, I was like, oh, that's jigsaw. I'm serious.

 

Speaker 1  12:23  

This show is so informative. Okay, people thought they were getting a stupid bar cookie. So

 

Matthew Amster-Burton  12:29  

these, those, these homemade ones, are fine. We also have two others. We have one of the same thing from Trader Joe's that I didn't, I would, didn't think was very good Molly. Molly just started laughing till she cries.

 

Okay, okay, so we tried, we also tried the Trader Joe's brownie plus cookie equals Brookie. What did you think of that one?

 

Molly  12:56  

I thought that was, like, extremely, not great. It was Matt, deeply matte. Yeah,

 

Matthew Amster-Burton  13:01  

it's very sweet. Like, the texture is just kind of mush, yeah. I mean,

 

Molly  13:05  

it had more of a like, if you're a real cookie dough fan, it had more of a cookie dough texture. So I could see how it could scratch that itch. It was very appealingly geometric in its shaping.

 

Matthew Amster-Burton  13:19  

If you if you need to scratch an itch, I wouldn't use any kind of saw for that.

 

This one I really do like this is Trader Joe's Brookie caramel candy clusters. So it's like, I'm

 

Speaker 1  13:39  

so tired of eating this paper combination, not very good.

 

Matthew Amster-Burton  13:44  

I think you'll like this one, although it's still kind of too sweet. Oh, I like this, but it's good because it's got salt.

 

Molly  13:53  

This reminds me of, okay, this pushes all the buttons of like a turtle. It's totally a turtle, but it's got really good texture from some, like, really crispy little bits. Yeah, and

 

Matthew Amster-Burton  14:05  

again, I don't think you would, you would like, say, Oh, this has chocolate chip cookie.

 

Molly  14:10  

I would never know that the base of this is supposedly a Brookie, yeah? I

 

Matthew Amster-Burton  14:14  

mean, it's like, it's like, a crunchy, you know, cookie, cookie, caramel, crunch candy. It's very tasty. I

 

Molly  14:20  

would have never thought to buy these, though.

 

Matthew Amster-Burton  14:22  

I mean, you just saw this and thought, This looks good. I think they had a free sample, okay? Because ordinarily I would go, No, agreed. I would not. This would not have jumped out at me as a thing that I would want to try, but I'm probably this is, like, the 10th time I bought them. This is a, really, one of my one of my favorites, yeah, okay, I

 

Molly  14:39  

think I would eat one more of those. Yeah.

 

Matthew Amster-Burton  14:41  

So first of all, the word Brookie seems to date from around 2016 and like was part of the flood of Cronut inspired. Can we smoosh two desserts together? Desserts, Franken desserts? You say, Yeah, your cronuts, your Crawfords, your duffins, your puff fluffins. Your puff offense? Yeah, probably it was used before that, because it seems kind of obvious, but like when I tried to figure it out on Google, I kept running into other uses of Brookie, like talking about the horse or the scholarship. So who knows. I found on Amazon there is an entire Brookie cookbook called bake it Brookie from 2023 with 102 recipes. But I think it's aI generated, okay, so I wouldn't recommend that. What's the name of the author? Oh, that's a good question. Like, Beep bop, make Beep bop. Yeah, could be, I think it was like some sort of generic, corporate sounding name, bake it Brookie. No, not bake with Brookie. That's, that's something else. Bake it, Brookie. By by de flavorful journeys. Okay, and here's the here's the book cover. So like, oh yeah, on the one hand, like the the text is spelled correctly. So, so maybe this was done by a human, but I don't think so. I'm sorry, did

 

Molly  16:00  

you say de flavor journeys, de flavor journeys,

 

Matthew Amster-Burton  16:02  

is that like D, D, strophe, D, E, space, flavorful journeys. De, flavorful journeys. De, flavorful. Yes. So first name to flavorful, last name journeys, one of the most popular Brookie recipes, and maybe like the one that started the trend was from the preppy kitchen blog in 2020

 

Molly  16:18  

I like that guy's uh, tiramisu, yes, yeah. I

 

Matthew Amster-Burton  16:21  

realized. I realized that Lynn Watson pointed out that that's the tiramisu guy. It's the tiramisu guy, yep. You know, you make them. You make kind of a thickish brownie batter, and then you top it with kind of a thinnish chocolate chip cookie dough. Okay, I did find one recipe that we'll link to from Mel's kitchen cafe that has you smush two different cookie doughs into a ball. So one sort of like chocolate double chocolate cookie dough with a regular chocolate chip cookie dough, and make it into sort of like a crescent moon or yin yang pattern, huh? So my question to you is, what two cookies do you think would make the worst combination if you smush them together? And I have an answer in mind.

 

Molly  16:59  

I'm thinking, I don't know. I mean, I think these are all pretty bad. So I don't know. Something that comes to mind are those, um, those confetti cookies, those smitten kitchen confetti cookies, which are quite delicious but very sweet. What if you did those with, like, a snickerdoodle, yeah, like too, I don't know too much sweetness or what if you did those with I don't know. I can't think of anything that's really bad. I mean, I can really eat it all. My

 

Matthew Amster-Burton  17:28  

answer is a lemon bar with a peanut butter cookie smushed into it. Doesn't that sound pretty bad. Sounds pretty bad. And those are both cookies I love, but together. Yeah,

 

Molly  17:37  

no, that sounds wrong. There's something about Yeah, citrus fruit and peanut butter. To me. I mean, even though, like, you can make a great peanut sauce with citrus fruit, that's true, but I don't think I would want citrus fruit with peanut butter. No,

 

Matthew Amster-Burton  17:49  

I feel like, in general, I'm kind of skeptical of the idea of, like, two, like, fully realized foods mushed together, I guess, like, I'm still formulating this idea, but, like, I've talked about recently how I recently realized, like, I never enjoy it very much when I get two ice cream flavors in one cup.

 

Molly  18:09  

Oh yeah, I always feel a little bit stressed out, yeah. And like, to decide, like, which one to eat now, and what like,

 

Matthew Amster-Burton  18:17  

and that, like, when they're side by side, I'm like, Okay, I like this one better. I wish I had just ordered this one. That's right. And I kind of feel that way here too. Like, I mean, yes, the chocolate chip cookie gets lost. But even if they were, like, you know, standing equally on their own feet, like, I feel like, just like, Okay, give me a brownie.

 

Molly  18:35  

Yeah, yeah. I think that really, of these, the one that is working the best for me is hands down the Brookie candy clusters for Trader Joe's. And it's because it it relies on something more than just the flavor. It also brings in texture, like this gooey caramel and these crunchy cookie bits, and it's

 

Matthew Amster-Burton  18:57  

designed to be like a candy that stands alone, as like a fully realized candy. That's

 

Molly  19:03  

right. And it, I think it also really embraces the sort of over the Topness, yeah. So

 

Matthew Amster-Burton  19:08  

I think if you got two or more cookies that you want to enjoy together, you get a tin. You put them in little, little paper cups in the tin, you give them to me for Christmas. There

 

Molly  19:18  

you go. There you go. Wow. Okay, wow. I Whew. That's a lot of Brookie. That

 

Matthew Amster-Burton  19:23  

was a lot of Brookie. Yeah, I'm full.

 

Molly  19:26  

I am ready to talk about spilled mail.

 

So listener Kelly wrote to us, and she said, Do you guys enjoy playing any food based video games or apps. We play Cooking Mama and cooking simulator here. Also almost any cozy game has cooking, and we like those too, Animal Crossing, Stardew Valley, etc. Okay. What about you?

 

Matthew Amster-Burton  19:54  

I just have a couple a couple of new ones and a couple of, like, old, kind of forgotten classics. I. Breath of the Wild. I love the cooking and Breath of the Wild. It's super fun, like I was just literally just thinking this morning about how satisfying it is to gather a bunch of hearty durians and cook them into something that's gonna give you a million hearts. That's great. And, of course, the little cooking sting that plays every time you cook, very satisfying. I picked venba, which is a cooking game, like a casual cooking game, more of a visual novel, I guess, for now, but wow, a while back about a, like, a South Asian family in Canada, like it was a really moving game that also, like, has some cooking segments. And then when, when December was little, we used to play some cooking games together. And the two I remember were Chocolatier and burger shop. I don't know if either of those games is still available on any platform, but they were both a lot of fun.

 

Molly  20:45  

Wow. I have not heard of almost any of these, except for Animal Crossing. Okay,

 

Matthew Amster-Burton  20:51  

did you do some cooking in Animal Crossing? Oh, I

 

Molly  20:54  

don't think I ever made it far enough in Animal Crossing to have to do any cooking. I mean, I caught fish and stuff, but then I just, like, put them in my pocket or whatever, and just walk around for a few months. Yeah. I mean, I just sort of absorbed it through my pant leg.

 

Matthew Amster-Burton  21:08  

What if there was a game called Animal flossing, or you just have to floss the teeth of a wide variety of different animals? Oh, I

 

Molly  21:15  

thought you meant, like, flossing, like the dance, yes, June and some of her friends are into Bluey, sure. And there's a flossing. Flossing makes a big appearance on but the dance, Bluey, it's the dance, yeah, yeah.

 

Matthew Amster-Burton  21:29  

But, like, Wouldn't it be cool to floss the teeth of a sperm whale? Yeah, it would take a long time, because that thing has a lot of teeth. Sure, sure. What

 

Molly  21:36  

about a narwhal? I mean, can you imagine flossing that big old horn, horn tooth. Do

 

Matthew Amster-Burton  21:42  

you need to I mean, I think it is a modified tooth. So I guess it, I guess it needs to be flossed. Every tooth needs to be floss. Every tooth needs to be a floss for every tooth. My my dentist tells me this every time I go in. And, I mean, maybe, maybe if I had a game where I could, like, like flossing a narwhal or a sperm whale sounds really challenging. Maybe if I mastered that, then, like flossing my own teeth correctly wouldn't be such a problem. Yeah, I'm

 

Molly  22:06  

sure there are apps where you can practice. Okay, great, Molly. Do you have a now? But wow, I do.

 

And this one is old, in fact, like a year old So, but it's a great pick. I know this one. Oh, good. Okay. Well, maybe you can talk a little bit about it, because I realized that as I was trying to think about how to talk about this, I just don't have good language for music. So my pick for now, but wow, this week is an album that came out in November of 2023 it is the instrumental solo album from Andre 3000 of outcast. Sure, it's called New Blue sun. It has no words, yeah, and a lot of woodwind instruments. It is deeply soothing and meditative. If I didn't know it was Andre 3000 I could think that it was like, some kind of deeply interesting spa music, yeah, for sure. And I don't mean that as a slight, like, It's very soothing.
