Description
These fudgy, chewy brookies are the ultimate chocolate treat. A perfect combination of brownies and cookies with a rich, dense texture and satisfying bite.
Ingredients
Dark chocolate
Chocolate chips (optional but recommended for texture)
Plain flour
Demerara sugar
Caster sugar
Butter (salted or unsalted)
Cocoa powder
Instructions
- In a small saucepan over low heat (or in a microwave), melt the butter and dark chocolate together, stirring continuously until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs and sugar until very pale and fluffy.
- In another bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder and flour to ensure even distribution. If your cocoa powder is lumpy, sift it to avoid any clumps.
- Slowly pour the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture, stirring gently to prevent the eggs from scrambling.
- Fold in the flour-cocoa mix and chocolate chips (if using) until the batter is thick and slightly gooey.
- Preheat the oven and line a baking tray with parchment paper. Drop tablespoons of batter onto the tray, spaced well apart. For uniformity, use a cookie scoop to shape the batter.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-14 minutes. The brookies should be soft but set, with slightly firmer edges.
- Let the brookies cool slightly on the baking tray. Optionally, sprinkle with sea salt while still warm.
Notes
- This recipe makes about 12-16 brookies, depending on the size of each cookie.
- For a crunchy twist, fold in some chopped walnuts or pecans into the batter.
- Store brookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4-5 days. For longer storage, freeze for up to 3 months.
- If you don’t have caster sugar, you can substitute with granulated sugar.
- You can make the dough ahead of time and refrigerate it for up to 24 hours before baking.
- Larger cookies may need an additional 2-3 minutes in the oven.
