Method
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 160ºC (320ºF) for fan or 170ºC (338ºF) for conventional heating and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- In a heatproof bowl, combine chopped dark chocolate and butter over simmering water, stirring until fully melted. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract.
- Beat caster sugar, demerara sugar, and eggs together with an electric hand whisk until light, thick, and fluffy (about 5 minutes).
- Sift flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt into another bowl, then fold in chocolate chips.
- Fold the melted chocolate mixture into the whipped eggs and sugars gently to maintain airiness.
- Carefully fold in the dry ingredients until just combined.
Baking
- Scoop tablespoons of the batter onto the prepared baking tray, spacing them well apart.
- Bake for 12-14 minutes until brookies are set and have a crackly top.
- Sprinkle with sea salt immediately if desired and let cool for 10 minutes on the baking tray before transferring to a cooling rack.
Notes
Serve warm with optional toppings like ice cream or chocolate sauce. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week or freeze for up to three months.
