Ingredients
(Tip: You can find the complete list of ingredients and their measurements in the recipe card below.)
- 225 g dark chocolate, chopped
- 56 g butter (salted or unsalted)
- 100 g caster sugar
- 90 g demerara sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 95 g all-purpose flour
- 2 tbsp cocoa powder
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 85 g dark or milk chocolate chips
Directions
Step 1: Melt the Chocolate
- Prepare the Base: In a heatproof bowl, combine the dark chocolate and butter. Melt them together using a microwave in 30-second intervals or over a double boiler. Stir until smooth and set aside to cool slightly.
Step 2: Mix the Wet Ingredients
- Beat the Sugars and Eggs: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the caster sugar, demerara sugar, and eggs until light and fluffy (about 2–3 minutes).
- Add the Vanilla and Melted Chocolate: Stir in the vanilla extract and the melted chocolate mixture until fully combined.
Step 3: Combine the Dry Ingredients
- Sift the Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
- Incorporate: Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
Step 4: Add Chocolate Chips
- Mix in the Chips: Fold in the dark or milk chocolate chips, ensuring they’re evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Step 5: Bake the Browkies
- Prepare the Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Shape the Browkies: Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded spoonfuls of the dough onto the baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake: Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers still look slightly soft.
- Cool: Allow the browkies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

FAQs
1. What are browkies?
Browkies are a dessert that combines the rich, fudgy texture of brownies with the soft, chewy texture of cookies.
2. Can I use milk chocolate instead of dark chocolate?
Yes, but dark chocolate enhances the richness of the flavor. Milk chocolate will make the browkies slightly sweeter.
3. Why is my dough too soft to handle?
If your dough is too soft, refrigerate it for 10–15 minutes before shaping the browkies.
4. Can I add other mix-ins?
Absolutely! Add caramel bits, toffee pieces, or dried fruit for a personalized touch.
5. How do I know when the browkies are done?
The edges should be set, and the centers should look slightly soft. They will firm up as they cool.
6. Can I double the recipe?
Yes, simply double the ingredients and bake in batches to ensure even cooking.
7. What’s the best way to melt chocolate without burning it?
Use a double boiler or microwave in short intervals, stirring between each interval.
8. Can I use brown sugar instead of demerara sugar?
Yes, light brown sugar works as a substitute, but demerara adds a slightly deeper flavor and texture.
9. Can I make the dough ahead of time?
Yes, refrigerate the dough for up to 24 hours. Let it sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before baking.
10. Are browkies suitable for gifting?
Absolutely! Pack them in decorative boxes or bags for a delicious homemade gift.
