Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 95 g (¾ cups) plain (all-purpose) flour
  • 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 85 g (½ cups) dark or milk chocolate chips

Wet Ingredients

  • 225 g (1 ¼ cups) dark chocolate, chopped
  • 56 g (¼ cups) butter, salted or unsalted
  • 2 eggs, room temperature
  • 100 g (¾ cups) caster or granulated sugar
  • 90 g (½ cups) 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. Prepare a baking tray by lining it with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
  2. Melt Chocolate and Butter: In a heatproof bowl, combine the chopped dark chocolate and butter. Place this bowl over a pan of simmering water, making sure the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water. Stir occasionally until the chocolate and butter are fully melted and combined. Stir in the vanilla extract to enhance the chocolate flavor.
  3. Whip Eggs and Sugars: In a separate medium bowl, use an electric hand whisk on high speed to beat the caster sugar, Demerara sugar, and eggs. Continue whisking until the mixture becomes very light, thick, and fluffy, about 5 minutes. This process will incorporate air into the batter, contributing to a lighter texture despite the fudgy nature.
  4. Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Add the chocolate chips afterward. Sifting avoids lumps and ensures an even distribution of ingredients.
  5. Integrate Chocolate Mixture: Gradually fold the melted chocolate and butter mixture into the whipped eggs and sugars. Stir gently using a spatula to maintain the airiness of the whipped eggs and create a smooth, glossy batter.
  6. Fold in Dry Ingredients: Carefully fold the sifted dry ingredients into the wet mixture with a spatula, mixing only until just combined. Overmixing can deflate the batter and affect the texture.
  7. Bake the Brookies: Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, place dollops of batter spaced well apart on the prepared baking tray to allow spreading. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-14 minutes, or until the brookies are set with a crackly top but still soft inside.
  8. Cool and Finish: Remove the tray from the oven and optionally sprinkle the brookies with a pinch of sea salt to enhance the chocolate flavor. Allow them to cool on the baking tray for about 10 minutes to firm up before transferring to a cooling rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Chocolate Melting: Watch closely to avoid overheating the chocolate as it can seize. If using a microwave, heat in short bursts and stir frequently.
  • Whisking Technique: Aim for a thick, ribbon-like consistency where the whisk leaves a trail on the surface when lifted.
  • Consistent Sizes: Use a cookie scoop for evenly sized brookies to ensure uniform baking and appearance.
  • Cooling Importance: Letting brookies cool on the tray helps them set properly without breaking apart.
  • Demerara Sugar: This raw sugar has large grains and a crunchy texture. If unavailable, substitute with sugar in the raw or turbinado sugar.
