Instructions
How to Make Fudgy Chewy Brookies
- Preheat your oven to 160°C (320°F) for a fan oven or 170°C (338°F) for conventional. Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- In a heatproof bowl set over simmering water, melt the chopped dark chocolate and butter together. Stir until well combined, then remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a medium bowl, beat together the caster sugar, demerara sugar, and eggs on high speed for about 5 minutes until light, thick, and fluffy.
- In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Gently fold the melted chocolate mixture into the whipped egg mixture, then gradually fold in the dry ingredients until just combined.
- Using a cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of the batter onto the prepared tray. Bake for 12–14 minutes until the tops are crackly but the centers remain soft.
- After baking, sprinkle with a touch of sea salt. Allow the brookies to cool on the tray for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
Optional: Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent treat.
