Description
Fudgy Chewy Brookies are the perfect marriage of brownies and cookies, delivering crackly tops, fudgy centers, and rich chocolate flavor in every bite.
Ingredients
Scale
- ½ cup (115 g) unsalted butter
- 8 oz (225 g) dark or semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
- ¾ cup (150 g) brown sugar
- ¼ cup (50 g) granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ¾ cup (95 g) all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup (25 g) cocoa powder
- ½ tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp salt
- ½ cup (90 g) chocolate chips (optional, for extra fudginess)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt butter and chocolate together in 30-second intervals until smooth. Let cool slightly.
- Whisk in both sugars, then add eggs and vanilla, mixing until glossy and thick.
- Sift in flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Stir gently until just combined. Fold in chocolate chips if using.
- Chill dough for 15–20 minutes (optional but helps achieve that perfect crackly top).
- Scoop tablespoons of dough onto the baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes until the tops are shiny and cracked but centers remain soft.
- Cool for 5 minutes on the tray, then transfer to a wire rack to set.
Notes
- Chilling the dough helps crackly tops and fudginess, but is optional.
- Yields about 15 brookies; adjust baking time for larger or smaller batches.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
- For extra fudgy centers, add the optional chocolate chips.
