Ingredients

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

For the Browkies Mixture:

• 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 the bottom does not touch the water. Stir occasionally until melted and smooth. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 3: Whip Eggs and Sugars

In another 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, thick, and fluffy—about 5 minutes.

Step 4: Combine Dry Ingredients

In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Add in the chocolate chips to ensure they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 5: Integrate Chocolate Mixture

Gradually fold the melted chocolate mixture into the whipped egg mixture. Stir gently to maintain airiness while combining.

Step 6: Fold in Dry Ingredients

Carefully fold in the dry ingredients using a spatula. Be cautious not to deflate the mixture; mix only until just combined.

Step 7: Bake the Brookies

Scoop tablespoons of batter onto your prepared baking tray with ample space between each scoop for spreading. Bake in your preheated oven for 12-14 minutes or until set with a crackly top.

Step 8: Cool and Finish

Remove from oven and immediately sprinkle with sea salt if desired. Allow them to cool on the tray for about 10 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack to cool completely.

Enjoy every fudgy bite of these delicious Fudgy Chewy Browkies (Brookies)!

• Measure Ingredients Accurately: Use a kitchen scale for precise measurements, especially flour and sugars.
• Chill Dough Before Baking: Letting the batter sit in the fridge for about 30 minutes can intensify flavors and improve texture.
