Fudgy Chewy Brookies (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Dry Ingredients

01 - 95 g (¾ cups) plain (all-purpose) flour
02 - 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
03 - 1 teaspoon baking powder
04 - ¼ teaspoon salt

→ Wet Ingredients

05 - 225 g (1 ¼ cups) dark chocolate, chopped
06 - 56 g (¼ cups) butter, salted or unsalted
07 - 2 eggs, room temperature
08 - 100 g (¾ cups) caster sugar
09 - 90 g (½ cups) demerara sugar
10 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

→ Add-ins

11 - 85 g (½ cups) dark or milk chocolate chips

→ Optional Finishing

12 - Sea salt for sprinkling

# Instructions:

01 - Set your oven to 160°C (320°F) with fan or 170°C (338°F) conventional. Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
02 - Combine chopped dark chocolate and butter in a heatproof bowl over simmering water, ensuring the bowl doesn't touch the water. Stir occasionally until fully melted. Add vanilla extract and stir to incorporate.
03 - In a medium bowl, use an electric hand whisk on high speed to beat caster sugar, demerara sugar, and eggs until the mixture becomes light, thick, and fluffy.
04 - Sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt in a separate bowl to ensure even distribution and no lumps.
05 - Gradually fold the melted chocolate mixture into the whipped eggs and sugars using gentle strokes to maintain airiness.
06 - Gently fold the dry ingredients and chocolate chips into the wet mixture with a spatula until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the batter light and airy.
07 - Drop tablespoons of batter onto the prepared baking tray, spacing them well apart to allow for spreading. Bake for 12-14 minutes until set with a crackly top.
08 - Remove from oven and immediately sprinkle with sea salt if desired. Allow to cool on the baking tray for 10 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack to cool completely.

# Notes:

01 - For perfectly fudgy brookies, be careful not to overbake - they should still be slightly soft in the center when removed from the oven.
02 - These brookies combine the best elements of brownies and cookies - crispy edges with a soft, fudgy interior.
