Method
- Preheat to 160ºC (320ºF) fan or 170ºC (338ºF) conventional. Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- Melt chopped chocolate and butter in a heatproof bowl over simmering water. Stir until smooth, then mix in vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk eggs, caster sugar, and demerara sugar on high speed for about 5 minutes until thick and fluffy.
- Sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Stir in chocolate chips.
- Fold the melted chocolate mixture into the whipped eggs gently.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, folding carefully until just combined.
- Scoop tablespoons of batter onto the tray, spacing evenly. Bake for 12–14 minutes until tops are shiny and crackly.
- Sprinkle with sea salt if desired. Let cool 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
Use room-temperature eggs for better volume when whipping. For extra fudginess, slightly underbake and allow the brookies to set as they cool. Demerara sugar gives a slight crunch; if unavailable, substitute with light brown sugar.
