Delight in these fudgy, chewy Brookies—a delicious hybrid of brownies and cookies featuring rich dark chocolate, cocoa powder, and a delightful mix of sugars that create a perfectly crackly top with a soft, dense center. These Brookies are easy to make, combining melted chocolate with whipped eggs and sugars for a fluffy texture, then baked to perfection.

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)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Sugars

  • 100 g caster or granulated sugar
  • 90 g Demerara or raw sugar

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.
  2. Melt Chocolate and Butter: In a heatproof bowl placed over simmering water (double boiler method), melt the chopped dark chocolate and butter together, stirring occasionally until smooth and completely combined. Add vanilla extract and mix well.
  3. Whip Eggs and Sugars: In a separate medium bowl, use an electric hand whisk to beat the caster sugar, Demerara sugar, and eggs on high speed until the mixture becomes very light, thick, and fluffy, approximately 5 minutes.
  4. Combine Dry Ingredients: Sift the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt into another bowl. Add the chocolate chips and gently mix to evenly distribute.
  5. Integrate Chocolate Mixture: Gradually fold the melted chocolate and butter mixture into the whipped eggs and sugar mixture, stirring gently to retain the airiness.
  6. Fold in Dry Ingredients: Carefully fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula, mixing only until just combined to maintain a light batter.
  7. Bake the Brookies: Scoop tablespoons of batter onto the prepared baking tray, spacing them apart to allow spreading. Bake in the oven for 12-14 minutes until the brookies are set and have a crackly top.
  8. Cool and Finish: Remove the brookies from the oven and, if desired, sprinkle immediately with sea salt. Let them cool on the tray for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • You can substitute Demerara sugar with raw sugar or light brown sugar for a similar texture and flavor.
  • Using room temperature eggs helps achieve the fluffy whipped texture.
  • Sprinkling sea salt on top after baking enhances the chocolate flavor.
  • Ensure not to overmix after adding the dry ingredients to keep the brookies tender.
