Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 8 oz semi-sweet chocolate chopped — bar chocolate
  • ½ cup unsalted butter 1 stick
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup brown sugar packed
  • 3 large eggs room temp helps whisking
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • ¾ cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoon cocoa powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup chocolate chips
Optional Toppings
  • flaky sea salt
  • extra chocolate chips press on top
  • powdered sugar light dusting

Equipment

  • Mixing bowl (large)
  • Microwave-safe bowl or double boiler
  • Whisk
  • Rubber spatula
  • Cookie Scoop
  • Baking sheets
  • Parchment paper
  • Wire rack

Method
 

  1. Melt chopped chocolate and butter together until smooth. Cool 5 minutes.
  2. Whisk granulated sugar + brown sugar, then whisk in eggs one at a time until thick and glossy. Stir in vanilla.
  3. Whisk melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture until shiny and fully blended.
  4. Fold in flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt just until no dry streaks remain.
  5. Fold in chocolate chips.
  6. Cover and chill batter for 30 minutes (helps crackly tops and prevents overspreading).
  7. Scoop onto parchment-lined baking sheets, spacing 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 10–12 minutes until tops are crackly and edges set (centers will look slightly soft).
  9. Cool on the pan 10 minutes, then move to a rack to finish cooling (texture sets as they cool).

Notes

For picture-perfect brookies, press a few extra chocolate chips on top before baking. Store in an airtight container for up to 4 days or freeze for longer storage.
