Fudgy Chewy Brookies (Brownie Cookies)
These Fudgy Chewy Brookies are a delightful fusion of brownies and cookies — rich, chocolatey, and irresistibly chewy. Perfectly crisp on the edges and gooey in the middle, they’re an indulgent treat for chocolate lovers.
Ingredients
- 95 g plain (all-purpose) flour
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder unsweetened
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon 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 adds crunch and caramel flavor
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 85 g dark or milk chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 160ºC (320ºF) with a fan or 170ºC (338ºF) for conventional heating. Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- In a heatproof bowl, combine the chopped dark chocolate and butter. Place the bowl over a pan of simmering water, ensuring the bottom does not touch the water. Stir occasionally until melted and smooth. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a medium bowl, use an electric hand whisk on high speed to beat the eggs, caster sugar, and demerara sugar until light, thick, and fluffy (about 5 minutes).
- In another bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Add the chocolate chips and mix to coat evenly.
- Gradually fold the melted chocolate mixture into the whipped egg and sugar mixture. Stir gently to maintain the airiness.
- Carefully fold in the dry ingredients using a spatula until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the batter light and chewy.
- Scoop tablespoonfuls of batter onto the prepared baking tray, spacing them well apart to allow spreading. Bake for 12–14 minutes or until the tops are crackly and set.
- Remove from the oven and sprinkle with sea salt if desired. Let cool on the tray for 10 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack to cool completely.
Notes
For extra fudginess, slightly underbake the brookies. Sprinkle with sea salt or add nuts for texture. Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days or freeze for later enjoyment.
