Ingredients
Scale
- 200g dark chocolate, chopped
- 125g butter (salted or unsalted), diced
- 150g caster sugar
- 100g light brown sugar
- 2 large eggs, at room temperature
- 3 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 130g plain flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 100g chocolate chips (optional)
- Sea salt for sprinkling (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 160ºC (320ºF) fan or 170ºC (338ºF) conventional. Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- Melt Chocolate and Butter: In a heatproof bowl over simmering water, melt the chopped dark chocolate and diced butter, stirring occasionally until smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- Whisk Eggs and Sugars: In a separate bowl, combine caster sugar, light brown sugar, and eggs. Use an electric mixer to whisk on high speed until the mixture is light, fluffy, and thickened.
- Combine Mixtures: Gently fold the melted chocolate mixture into the whipped egg mixture until well combined.
- Add Dry Ingredients: Sift together cocoa powder, plain flour, baking powder, and salt. Fold these dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
- Incorporate Chocolate Chips: If using, fold in the chocolate chips to distribute evenly throughout the batter.
- Scoop and Bake: Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop portions of the batter onto the prepared baking tray, spacing them well apart to allow for spreading. Sprinkle a pinch of sea salt on top of each, if desired.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 12 minutes, or until the edges are firm and the centers are set but still soft.
- Cool: Allow the brookies to cool on the baking tray for about 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Nutty Addition: Incorporate chopped walnuts or pecans for added crunch.
- Flavor Twist: Add 1 teaspoon of instant coffee granules to the melted chocolate for a mocha flavor.
- Gluten-Free Option: Substitute plain flour with a gluten-free flour blend.
- Dairy-Free Version: Use dairy-free butter and chocolate alternatives.
