Wet Ingredients:
- 200g dark chocolate, chopped
- 100g unsalted butter
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 150g caster sugar
- 50g demerara sugar
Dry Ingredients:
- 100g plain flour
- 25g cocoa powder (sifted if lumpy)
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 100g chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
-
Melt the Chocolate & Butter:
- In a small saucepan over low heat (or in the microwave), melt the dark chocolate and butter together, stirring until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
-
Whisk Eggs & Sugar:
- In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, caster sugar, and demerara sugar until pale, thick, and fluffy. This helps create the chewy texture.
-
Mix the Dry Ingredients:
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt to combine evenly.
-
Combine the Mixtures:
- Slowly pour the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture, stirring gently to prevent scrambling.
- Fold in the dry ingredients until just combined, then stir in chocolate chips if using. The batter should be thick and glossy.
-
Prepare for Baking:
- Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
- Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of batter onto the tray, spacing them well apart.
-
Bake the Brookies:
- Bake for 12-14 minutes until the edges are set but the centers remain slightly gooey.
- Remove from the oven and let them cool on the tray for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
-
Serve & Enjoy:
- Optionally, sprinkle with sea salt while warm for extra flavor.
- Serve warm or at room temperature for the best texture.
Notes
- Use high-quality dark chocolate for the best flavor and texture.
- Room temperature eggs help create a higher rise and a chewier consistency.
- Space the cookies well on the tray, as they spread while baking.
- For extra fudginess, slightly underbake them and let them firm up as they cool.
