The ultimate combination of brownies and cookies, these fudgy chewy brookies deliver rich chocolate flavor with a soft, irresistible texture every time.
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper so nothing sticks.
Whisk flour, cocoa, baking powder, and salt in a small bowl. Set it aside while you melt chocolate.
Melt the dark chocolate and butter over simmering water or in microwave bursts, stirring till smooth. Let it cool a bit.
In a big bowl, whisk eggs, caster sugar, Demerara sugar, and vanilla until light and creamy, fluffy but not too thick.
Slowly pour the melted chocolate mix into the egg combo, whisking while you pour to keep it smooth.
Fold in the dry ingredients just 'til you see no streaks; don’t overmix or you lose the softness. Let dough rest for 10 minutes so it firms up a bit.
Drop spoonfuls or cookie scoops onto the tray, spacing them a couple inches apart.
Bake for 10 to 12 minutes until edges set but centers still soft.
Cool on tray 5 minutes then move to wire rack.
Optional: sprinkle sea salt immediately after baking for added flavor.
Notes
Let brookies cool completely before storing in airtight container. Tastes best within 3 days or freeze for up to 1 month. Gently reheat for best texture retention.
