Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, melted

- 4 large eggs

- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chocolate chips
How to make it
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large bowl, mix together the melted butter and sugar until well combined.
- Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Drop spoonfuls of dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are set but the center is still soft.
- Let cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
How to serve it
Serve these delicious brookies warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top for an extra indulgence. They’re also great on their own or paired with a glass of milk or coffee. If you want to impress guests, you can dust some powdered sugar on top before serving.
How to store it
To keep your brookies fresh, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to five days. If you want to prolong their freshness, consider refrigerating them, where they can last up to a week.
Helpful tips
- Make sure the butter is melted but not too hot when mixing with sugar to avoid cooking the eggs.
- Don’t overmix once you combine the wet and dry ingredients; mixing just until combined will keep them chewy.
- If you prefer a fudgier center, you can slightly underbake them.
Optional variations
- Add nuts like walnuts or pecans for a delightful crunch.
- Consider mixing in different types of chocolate chips, such as white chocolate or peanut butter chips, for a twist on flavor.
- Swirl in some caramel sauce before baking for a rich, caramel-infused brookie.
Frequently asked questions
Can I use salted butter instead of unsalted?
Yes, you can substitute salted butter for unsalted, but it’s best to omit the added salt in the recipe to prevent the brookies from being too salty.
Can I freeze brookies?
Absolutely! You can freeze the baked brookies for up to three months. Just make sure they are completely cooled and stored in an airtight container or freezer bags.
What can I do if my brookies turn out too dry?
If your brookies are dry, they may have been overbaked or mixed too long. Make sure to check them a couple of minutes before the baking time is up to find that perfect chewy texture!
Now, go ahead and enjoy baking these incredibly delicious brookies!
