• Parchment paper
• Heatproof bowl
• Electric hand whisk
• Mixing bowls
• Spatula

Importance of Each Tool

• Baking tray: Ensures even baking and easy transfer to the oven.
• Parchment paper: Prevents sticking and makes cleanup effortless.
• Heatproof bowl: Allows for safe melting of chocolate without direct heat exposure.
• Electric hand whisk: Saves time and effort when whipping eggs and sugars to the desired fluffiness.

Ingredients

Thick, chocolatey, and chewy browkies! The Savvy Bites famous brownie recipe made into a cookie!

For the Dough

• 95 g plain (all-purpose) flour
• 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 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 (see notes)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 85 g dark or milk chocolate chips

How to Make Fudgy Chewy Browkies (Brookies)

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Set your oven to 160ºC (320ºF) with a fan or 170ºC (338ºF) for conventional heating. Prepare a baking tray by lining it with parchment paper.

Step 2: Melt Chocolate and Butter

In a heatproof bowl, combine the chopped dark chocolate and butter. Place this bowl over a pan of simmering water, ensuring that the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water. Stir occasionally until fully melted. Once combined, stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 3: Whip Eggs and Sugars

In a separate medium bowl, use an electric hand whisk on high speed to beat together the caster sugar, demerara sugar, and eggs. Continue whisking until very light and fluffy—this should take about 5 minutes.

Step 4: Combine Dry Ingredients

In another bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Add in the chocolate chips. Sifting helps eliminate lumps while ensuring even mixing.

Step 5: Integrate Chocolate Mixture

Gradually fold the melted chocolate mixture into the whipped eggs and sugars. Stir gently to maintain airiness from the whipped eggs.

Step 6: Fold in Dry Ingredients

Carefully fold in the dry ingredients using a spatula. Be cautious not to deflate your mixture—mix only until just combined to keep it light.

Step 7: Bake the Brookies

Scoop tablespoons of batter onto your prepared baking tray. Space them well apart to allow for spreading during baking. Bake in your preheated oven for 12-14 minutes until set with crackly tops.

Step 8: Cool and Finish

Once baked, remove from the oven. If desired, sprinkle immediately with sea salt for added flavor. Allow them to cool on the tray for about 10 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack to cool completely.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Baking Fudgy Chewy Browkies (Brookies) can be a delightful experience, but avoiding common pitfalls is essential for the perfect outcome.

• Using Cold Ingredients: Always remember to use room temperature eggs. Cold ingredients can lead to a dense texture instead of a fudgy one.
• Overmixing the Batter: Mixing too much after adding dry ingredients can deflate the batter. Fold gently until just combined for that chewy texture.
• Incorrect Oven Temperature: Make sure your oven is properly preheated. An incorrect temperature can result in undercooked or burnt browkies.
• Not Measuring Ingredients Accurately: Use a kitchen scale for precise measurements, especially with flour and sugar. This helps achieve consistent results.
• Skipping the Cooling Step: Letting your browkies cool on a rack is crucial. Cooling allows them to set properly and enhances their chewy texture.
