Can I use substitute chocolate for dark chocolate?

Yes, you can use semi-sweet chocolate or milk chocolate if you prefer a sweeter flavor. Just keep in mind that it may alter the final taste slightly.

How do I store these brownies?

Store your Fudgy Chewy Brownies in an airtight container at room temperature. They can last for up to a week, though they're usually gone much sooner!

Can I freeze brownie batter or baked brownies?

Yes, you can freeze both the brownie batter and baked brownies. For the batter, scoop individual portions into a container and freeze. Baked brownies can be wrapped tightly in plastic wrap and then foil before freezing.

Why are my brownies too cakey?

If your brownies turned out too cake-like, it could be due to overmixing the batter or adding too much flour. Make sure to measure accurately and mix the batter gently.

What can I do with leftover brownies?

Leftover brownies can be transformed into a delicious sundae or turned into a trifle with layers of whipped cream, chocolate pudding, and fruits. They also make an excellent addition to milkshakes!

Instructions

Prepare the brownie batter: Melt butter and dark chocolate in a bowl over simmering water or microwave. Add both sugars, mix until dissolved. Whisk in eggs and vanilla. Sift in flour, cocoa, and salt. Fold gently to form a thick batter. Set aside.
Prepare the cookie dough: Cream butter and sugars until light. Add egg and vanilla and beat well. Mix in flour, baking soda, and salt. Fold in chocolate chips. Do not overmix.
Assemble the brookies: Grease and line an 8×8-inch pan. Spread brownie batter evenly. Drop spoonfuls of cookie dough over the top and gently spread or flatten with a spatula.
Bake: Bake at 180°C (350°F) for 25–30 minutes. The center should be slightly soft. Cool completely before slicing into squares.

Notes

Do not overbake to retain fudgy texture. For cleaner cuts, chill the brookies before slicing. Use high-quality chocolate for best results.
