Soft, fudgy brookies combining gooey brownie and chewy cookie textures for a chocolaty treat everyone will love.

# Required Ingredients:

→ Chocolate Components

01 - 100 g dark chocolate, chopped
02 - 50 g dark chocolate chips (optional)

→ Dry Ingredients

03 - 50 g unsweetened cocoa powder
04 - 150 g plain wheat flour
05 - 50 g demerara sugar
06 - 50 g caster sugar

→ Wet Ingredients

07 - 115 g unsalted butter
08 - 2 large eggs, room temperature

# Step-by-Step Instructions:

01 - Gently melt the unsalted butter and chopped dark chocolate together over low heat or in short bursts in a microwave, stirring constantly until smooth.
02 - In a separate bowl, whisk room temperature eggs with both caster and demerara sugar until the mixture becomes pale and fluffy.
03 - Sift or whisk together the cocoa powder and plain flour to eliminate lumps and ensure even distribution.
04 - Gradually add the melted chocolate and butter mixture into the egg and sugar mixture, stirring gently to avoid curdling.
05 - Carefully fold the combined cocoa and flour mixture along with the chocolate chips, if using, until the batter is thick and slightly glossy.
06 - Preheat the oven to 180°C and line a baking tray with parchment paper. Use a tablespoon or cookie scoop to drop evenly sized portions of batter onto the tray, spacing them well apart.
07 - Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 14 minutes until the edges are just firm but the centers remain soft and fudgy.
08 - Allow the brookies to cool on the baking tray for a few minutes. Optionally, sprinkle with a pinch of sea salt before serving to enhance flavor.

# Handy Cooking Tips:

01 - Use high-quality dark chocolate for a smoother texture and richer flavor. Room temperature eggs create a fluffier batter when whisked.
02 - Store brookies in an airtight container refrigerated for up to five days or frozen up to three months.
