Ingredients
-
¾ cup (95g) all-purpose flour
-
2 tablespoons cocoa powder
-
1 teaspoon baking powder
-
¼ teaspoon salt
-
1¼ cups (225g) dark chocolate, chopped
-
¼ cup (56g) butter, salted or unsalted
-
2 large eggs, room temperature
-
¾ cup (100g) caster sugar
-
½ cup (90g) Demerara sugar
-
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
-
½ cup (85g) dark or milk chocolate chips
Instructions
1️⃣ Melt the Chocolate Base
• In a heatproof bowl, melt chopped dark chocolate and butter over a double boiler.
• Stir until completely smooth and glossy.
• Remove from heat and mix in the vanilla extract.
2️⃣ Whip the Eggs and Sugars
• In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs, caster sugar, and Demerara sugar.
• Use a hand mixer to whip on high speed for 5 minutes until pale, thick, and fluffy.
3️⃣ Mix Dry Ingredients
• In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
• Stir in the chocolate chips to coat them lightly in flour.
4️⃣ Combine Everything
• Fold the melted chocolate mixture into the whipped eggs and sugar.
• Gently fold in the dry ingredients until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
5️⃣ Scoop and Bake
• Preheat oven to 338°F (170°C conventional or 320°F fan).
• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Scoop tablespoon-sized portions onto the tray, spacing them out.
• Bake for 12–14 minutes until tops are crackled and edges are set.
6️⃣ Cool and Serve
• Let brookies cool on the baking tray for 10 minutes.
• Transfer to a wire rack to finish cooling. Serve warm or at room temp.
Notes
-
Use room temperature eggs to prevent the chocolate mixture from seizing.
-
Demerara sugar adds chewy edges and depth of flavor—don’t skip it.
-
For crackly tops, whip eggs and sugar fully and don’t overmix the final dough.
-
Brookies continue to bake slightly after removal—don’t overbake or they’ll turn cakey.
-
Optional add-ins: chopped hazelnuts, mint chocolate, peanut butter swirl, or frozen Nutella centers.
-
Freeze dough balls raw and bake straight from frozen—add 1–2 minutes to bake time.
-
Store in an airtight container at room temp for 4–5 days.
