Description
Delicious chocolate chip brookies that are soft, chewy, and full of rich chocolate flavor.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Cream the Butter and Sugars In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. This step is key to getting that perfect cookie texture—soft but not cakey.
- Add Eggs and Vanilla Crack in the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract. The mixture should now look silky and well combined.
- Add the Cocoa Powder Now add your cocoa powder and mix until the batter becomes a rich chocolate brown. It might look a little thick—that’s exactly what you want.
- Combine Dry Ingredients In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this dry mix to the wet ingredients. Stir just until incorporated—don’t overmix.
- Fold in Chocolate Chips Gently fold in your chocolate chips. The dough should be thick and chocolatey with plenty of chips in every bite.
- Scoop and Bake Drop spoonfuls of dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 10–12 minutes. The tops should be crackly, and the centers just set.
- Cool and Enjoy Let your brookies cool on the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. Enjoy warm for melty chocolate goodness or let them cool for perfectly chewy bites.
Notes
- Store in an airtight container for up to a week.
- For extra richness, add chopped nuts to the dough.
