Ingredients
Dry Ingredients:
-
95 g (¾ cups) all-purpose flour
-
2 tablespoons cocoa powder
-
1 teaspoon baking powder
-
¼ teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients:
-
225 g (1 ¼ cups) dark chocolate, chopped
-
56 g (¼ cups) butter, salted or unsalted
-
2 eggs, room temperature
-
100 g (¾ cups) caster sugar
-
90 g (½ cups) demerara sugar
-
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Extras:
-
85 g (½ cups) dark or milk chocolate chips
-
Sea salt (optional)
Instructions
-
Preheat the Oven – Set the oven to 160ºC (320ºF) fan or 170ºC (338ºF) conventional. Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
-
Melt the Chocolate and Butter – In a heatproof bowl, combine the chopped dark chocolate and butter. Melt over a saucepan of simmering water, stirring occasionally until smooth. Remove from heat and mix in the vanilla extract.
-
Whip the Eggs and Sugars – In a separate bowl, beat the caster sugar, demerara sugar, and eggs on high speed using an electric hand whisk. Continue until the mixture is light, thick, and fluffy.
-
Combine Dry Ingredients – In another bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Stir in the chocolate chips.
-
Mix the Batter – Gently fold the melted chocolate mixture into the whipped eggs and sugar. Carefully fold in the dry ingredients, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix.
-
Scoop and Bake – Drop tablespoon-sized mounds of batter onto the baking tray, spacing them apart. Bake for 12-14 minutes, or until the tops are set and crackly.
-
Cool and Serve – Remove from the oven and sprinkle with sea salt (if using). Let cool on the tray for 10 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack.

-
Perfect Crackly Top – Whipping the eggs and sugars well helps create that signature texture.
-
Don’t Overmix – Overworking the batter can make brookies dense instead of light and chewy.
-
Consistent Sizes – Use a cookie scoop to ensure even portions for uniform baking.
-
Cooling Matters – Letting them cool on the tray helps them firm up while maintaining chewiness.
