Fudgy Chewy Browkies (Printable Version)

Rich fudgy chewiness meets chocolate chips in this baking favorite with a crackly top and soft center.

# What You'll Need:

→ Dry Ingredients

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

→ Chocolate and Fats

05 - 1 ¼ cups dark chocolate, chopped (225 g)
06 - ¼ cup butter, salted or unsalted (56 g)
07 - ½ cup dark or milk chocolate chips (85 g)

→ Wet Ingredients

08 - 2 large eggs, room temperature
09 - ¾ cup caster sugar (100 g)
10 - ½ cup Demerara or raw sugar (90 g)
11 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

# Step-by-Step Guide:

01 - Preheat oven to 320°F (160°C) with fan or 338°F (170°C) conventional. Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
02 - Place chopped dark chocolate and butter in a heatproof bowl over simmering water, ensuring the bowl bottom does not touch the water. Stir occasionally until melted and smooth. Add vanilla extract and mix well.
03 - Using an electric hand mixer on high speed, beat eggs with caster sugar and Demerara sugar until very light, thick, and fluffy, about 5 minutes.
04 - Sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt into a bowl. Stir in chocolate chips evenly.
05 - Gradually fold the melted chocolate and butter mixture into the whipped eggs and sugars, folding gently to preserve airiness.
06 - Carefully fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula, mixing just until combined to maintain a light batter.
07 - Spoon tablespoons of batter onto the prepared baking tray, spacing them to allow spreading. Bake for 12 to 14 minutes until set and crackly on top.
08 - Remove from the oven, optionally sprinkle with sea salt immediately, then cool on the tray for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

# Additional Notes:

01 - For best texture, use room temperature eggs and do not overmix after combining dry ingredients.
