Ingredients
  

For the Cookie Batter
  • 1 cup Plain Flour Can substitute gluten-free all-purpose flour for a gluten-free version.
  • 1/2 cup Cocoa Powder Essential for achieving that rich taste.
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Powder Acts as a leavening agent; can skip for denser brookies.
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt Non-iodized varieties recommended.
  • 200 grams Dark Chocolate, Chopped Opt for 70%-85% cocoa content for the best results.
  • 1/2 cup Butter (Salted or Unsalted) Both types work, but salted alters salt content.
  • 2 large Eggs Make sure they are at room temperature.
  • 1 cup Caster or Granulated Sugar Feel free to substitute granulated sugar if needed.
  • 1/2 cup Demerara or Raw Sugar Can substitute with turbinado or light brown sugar.
  • 2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract Use pure vanilla for the best flavor.
  • 1 cup Chocolate Chips Optional but highly recommended.
Optional Add-ins
  • 1/2 cup Peanut Butter Mix into the batter for a nutty twist.
  • 1/2 cup Mini M&Ms Swap for chocolate chips for added sweetness.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Chewy Brookies
  1. Preheat your oven to 160°C (320°F) with the fan on, or 170°C (338°F) for conventional ovens. Prepare baking trays by lining them with parchment paper.
  2. In a heatproof bowl, combine chopped dark chocolate and butter over simmering water. Stir until melted and smooth, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract.
  3. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, caster sugar, and demerara sugar for about 5 minutes until light and fluffy.
  4. Sift together plain flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt in another bowl. Fold the dry mixture into the egg-sugar blend along with chocolate chips.
  5. Fold the melted chocolate and butter mixture into the egg-sugar blend without overmixing.
  6. Add sifted dry ingredients, folding gently until no dry flour is visible. The batter should be glossy and thick.
  7. Scoop spoonfuls of batter onto prepared baking trays, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake in preheated oven for 12-14 minutes until edges are set and centers remain soft.
  9. Allow brookies to cool on the baking tray for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
