Ingredients
95 g plain (all‑purpose) flour
2 tbsp cocoa powder
1 tsp baking powder
¼ tsp salt
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 tsp vanilla extract
85 g dark or milk chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 160 °C fan / 170 °C conventional. Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
In a heat-proof bowl over simmering water, stir chopped dark chocolate and butter until smooth. Mix in vanilla.
In a bowl, beat eggs, caster sugar, and demerara sugar on high for about 5 minutes until pale, thick, and fluffy.
Sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt in another bowl. Then stir in chocolate chips.
Gently fold the melted chocolate mixture into the whipped eggs, preserving as much air as possible.
Carefully stir in the dry ingredients until just combined—do not overmix.
Use spoonfuls or a cookie scoop to drop batter onto the tray. Bake for 12–14 minutes until tops crackle and edges look set.
Sprinkle sea salt on warm brookies if desired. Let cool 10 minutes on the tray, then transfer to a wire rack.
Notes
Use a mix of dark and milk chocolate chips for a sweeter twist.
Swap demerara sugar with caster sugar if needed.
Try gluten-free flour for a gluten-free version.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or freeze for 2–3 months.
To reheat, microwave for 10–15 seconds or warm briefly in a low oven.
