Ingredients
Scale
- 200 g (1 cup) dark chocolate, chopped
- 125 g (1/2 cup) butter, chopped
- 150 g (3/4 cup) caster sugar
- 100 g (1/2 cup) light brown sugar
- 2 medium to large eggs
- 3 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 130 g (1 cup) plain (all-purpose) flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Sea salt for sprinkling (optional)
Instructions
- 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.
- Melt Chocolate and Butter: In a heatproof bowl, combine chopped dark chocolate and butter. Place over a pan of simmering water, ensuring the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water. Stir occasionally until fully melted.
- Mix Sugars and Eggs: In a separate bowl, whisk together caster sugar, light brown sugar, and eggs until pale and fluffy.
- Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Pour the melted chocolate mixture into the sugar and egg mixture. Stir until well combined.
- Add Dry Ingredients: Sift in cocoa powder, plain flour, baking powder, and salt. Fold gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Scoop Dough: Using a tablespoon or a cookie scoop, drop portions of the dough onto the prepared baking tray, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Optional Sea Salt: If desired, sprinkle a small amount of sea salt over each dough ball to enhance the chocolate flavor.
- Bake: Place the tray in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, until the edges are set and the centers remain soft.
- Cool: Let the brookies cool on the baking tray for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Nutty Addition: Fold in chopped walnuts, pecans, or almonds for added crunch.
- Extra Chocolate: Incorporate white, milk, or dark chocolate chips for more richness.
- Flavor Enhancements: Add a teaspoon of instant coffee granules for a deeper chocolate flavor.
- Spice Infusion: A pinch of cinnamon or chili powder can add a unique twist.
