The BEST Fudgy Chewy Brookies
Fudgy Chewy Brookies are a hybrid dessert combining brownies and cookies.
Ingredients
- 95 g ¾ cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 225 g dark chocolate chopped
- 56 g butter salted or unsalted
- 2 large eggs room temperature
- 100 g caster or granulated sugar
- 90 g demerara or raw sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 85 g dark or milk chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat the oven. Set the oven to 160°C (320°F) with fan or 170°C (338°F) for conventional ovens. Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
Melt chocolate and butter. Place the chopped dark chocolate and butter in a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water. Stir occasionally until fully melted and smooth. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Whip eggs and sugars. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, caster sugar, and demerara sugar using an electric mixer on high speed for about 5 minutes until the mixture becomes pale, thick, and fluffy.
Prepare dry ingredients. In another bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Stir in the chocolate chips.
Combine mixtures. Gently fold the melted chocolate mixture into the whipped eggs and sugar mixture, being careful not to deflate the airy texture.
Add dry ingredients. Carefully fold the dry ingredients into the batter using a spatula until just combined.
Shape the brookies. Scoop tablespoons of batter onto the prepared baking tray, spacing them apart to allow room for spreading.
Bake. Bake for 12–14 minutes until the tops are crackly and the edges are set.
Cool. Allow the fudgy chewy brookies to cool on the tray for about 10 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
Finish. Sprinkle with sea salt if desired and enjoy once cooled.
Notes
Brookies spread during baking, so make sure to leave enough space between scoops. If you prefer thicker cookies, chill the batter for 20 minutes before baking.
