Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 95 g plain (all-purpose) flour
  • 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 85 g dark or milk chocolate chips

Wet Ingredients

  • 225 g dark chocolate, chopped
  • 56 g butter (salted or unsalted)
  • 2 eggs, room temperature
  • 100 g caster or granulated sugar
  • 90 g Demerara or raw sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 160ºC (320ºF) with a fan or 170ºC (338ºF) for conventional heating. Line a baking tray with parchment paper to prevent sticking and for even baking.
  2. Melt Chocolate and Butter: Place the chopped dark chocolate and butter in a heatproof bowl over a simmering water pan (double boiler). Stir occasionally until fully melted and smooth, then mix in the vanilla extract.
  3. Whip Eggs and Sugars: In a separate bowl, use an electric hand whisk at high speed to beat the eggs, caster sugar, and Demerara sugar until the mixture is very light, thick, and fluffy, about 5 minutes. This adds air for a lighter texture.
  4. Combine Dry Ingredients: Sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt in another bowl. Add the chocolate chips and mix to evenly distribute all dry components.
  5. Integrate Chocolate Mixture: Slowly fold the melted chocolate and butter mixture into the whipped egg and sugar mix, stirring gently to preserve the airiness.
  6. Fold in Dry Ingredients: Carefully fold in the dry ingredients using a spatula. Mix just until combined to avoid deflating the batter and to keep the texture fudgy and chewy.
  7. Bake the Brookies: Drop tablespoons of batter spaced well apart on the prepared baking tray. Bake for 12-14 minutes until the brookies appear set and have a crackly top.
  8. Cool and Finish: Remove from oven, sprinkle sea salt on top if desired, and let cool on the baking tray for 10 minutes before transferring to a rack to cool completely. This helps the brookies set perfectly.

Notes

  • Use room temperature eggs for better mixing and volume when whisking.
  • Demerara sugar gives a caramel-like crunch and flavor but can be replaced with raw sugar or light brown sugar.
  • Adjust baking times slightly depending on your oven; brookies should remain moist in the center.
  • For a dairy-free option, substitute butter with a plant-based alternative and dark chocolate accordingly.
  • Sea salt sprinkled on top enhances the chocolate flavor and balances sweetness.
