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) fan or 170ºC (338ºF) conventional. Line a baking tray with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
  2. Melt Chocolate and Butter: Place the chopped dark chocolate and butter in a heatproof bowl. Set this over a pan of simmering water, making sure the bowl does not touch the water. Stir occasionally until fully melted and smooth. Then stir in the vanilla extract to infuse flavor.
  3. Whip Eggs and Sugars: In a separate bowl, use an electric hand whisk on high speed to beat together caster sugar, Demerara sugar, and eggs. Whisk continuously until the mixture is thick, very light, and fluffy, about 5 minutes. This is critical for a light texture.
  4. Combine Dry Ingredients: Sift the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt into a bowl, then add the chocolate chips. Sifting helps avoid lumps and ensures even distribution of ingredients.
  5. Integrate Chocolate Mixture: Gradually fold the melted chocolate and butter mixture into the whipped eggs and sugars. Use a gentle folding motion to keep the air whipped into the eggs.
  6. Fold in Dry Ingredients: Carefully fold the sifted dry ingredients plus chocolate chips into the wet mixture using a spatula. Mix just until combined to maintain batter lightness and avoid overmixing.
  7. Bake the Brookies: Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop heaps of batter spaced well apart onto the lined tray. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-14 minutes until brookies are set and the tops appear crackly.
  8. Cool and Finish: Remove from the oven and optionally sprinkle with sea salt immediately for a sweet-salty contrast. Let cool on the tray for about 10 minutes to firm up, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.

Notes

  • Chocolate Melting: Keep a close eye to prevent overheating chocolate. Adjust microwave times accordingly if using one.
  • Whisking Technique: Aim for a fluffy mixture where the whisk leaves a trail (“ribbon”) in the egg-sugar mix.
  • Consistent Sizes: Use a cookie scoop to ensure even-sized brookies for uniform baking.
  • Cooling Importance: Cooling on the baking tray helps brookies firm up and prevents them from falling apart.
  • Demerara Sugar: This raw sugar has a crunchy texture and golden color. Substitute with turbinado or sugar in the raw if unavailable.
