Chocolate Brownie Cookies (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Dry Ingredients

01 - 95 g (¾ cups) plain (all-purpose) flour
02 - 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
03 - 1 teaspoon baking powder
04 - ¼ teaspoon salt

→ Wet Ingredients

05 - 225 g (1 ¼ cups) dark chocolate, chopped
06 - 56 g (¼ cups) butter, salted or unsalted
07 - 2 eggs, room temperature
08 - 100 g (¾ cups) caster sugar
09 - 90 g (½ cups) demerara sugar
10 - 1 teaspoon vanilla

→ Add-ins

11 - 85 g (½ cups) dark or milk chocolate chips

# Instructions:

01 - Set your oven to 160ºC (320ºF) with a fan or 170ºC (338ºF) for conventional heating. Prepare a baking tray by lining it with parchment paper.
02 - In a heatproof bowl, combine the chopped dark chocolate and butter. Place this bowl over a pan of simmering water, ensuring the bottom doesn't touch the water. Stir until melted and combined. Stir in vanilla extract.
03 - In a separate medium bowl, use an electric hand whisk on high speed to beat the caster sugar, light brown sugar, and eggs until very light, thick, and fluffy.
04 - In another bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, chocolate chips, and salt.
05 - Gradually fold the melted chocolate mixture into the whipped eggs and sugars. Then carefully fold in the dry ingredients until just combined.
06 - Scoop tablespoons of batter onto the prepared baking tray, spacing well apart. Bake for 12-14 minutes, until set and crackly on top.
07 - Remove from oven and optionally sprinkle with sea salt. Let cool on the baking tray for 10 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.

# Notes:

01 - Watch chocolate closely while melting to avoid overheating
02 - Whisk until mixture leaves ribbon trail
03 - Use cookie scoop for uniform sizes
04 - Allow proper cooling time for best texture
