Recipe preparation

Essential Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to make this delicious dish:

Unsalted Butter: Use high-quality butter for that rich flavor and fudginess all bakers dream of.
Granulated Sugar: This adds sweetness while helping achieve that perfect chewy texture.
Brown Sugar: For moisture and depth; dark brown sugar works best for an extra caramel flavor.
Large Eggs: Eggs bind everything together; always bring them to room temperature for better mixing.
Vanilla Extract: A splash of vanilla enhances all those rich chocolatey flavors beautifully.
All-Purpose Flour: This is crucial for structure—don’t skip it unless you want pancake browkies!
Cocoa Powder: Use unsweetened cocoa for a deep chocolate flavor without added sweetness.
Baking Powder: A little leavening agent ensures your browkies rise nicely but don’t lose that fudginess.
Chocolate Chips: Semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips add gooey pockets of chocolate bliss in every bite.
Chopped Nuts (optional): For those who enjoy some crunch, walnuts or pecans are great additions.

The full ingredients list, including measurements, is provided in the recipe card directly below.

Let’s Make it Together

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking pan with parchment paper to prevent any sticking disasters.

Melt the Butter and Mix Sugars: In a saucepan over low heat, melt the butter until just liquefied. Transfer it into a large mixing bowl and whisk in granulated sugar and brown sugar until combined.

Add Eggs and Vanilla: Crack in those beautiful eggs one by one and mix well after each addition. Pour in your vanilla extract and whisk until smooth and glossy.

Sift Dry Ingredients Together: In another bowl, sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. This helps aerate the mixture—no one wants dense browkies!

Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually fold in dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula until just combined. Avoid overmixing; we want our browkies fudgy!

Add Chocolate Chips and Nuts (if using): Gently fold in those luscious chocolate chips and nuts until evenly distributed throughout your batter.

Bake Your Browkies: Pour batter into your prepared baking pan. Bake for about 25-30 minutes until edges are set but the center remains soft—it should look slightly underbaked for optimal chewiness.

Let cool in the pan before slicing into squares or rectangles because patience is key! Enjoy with a glass of milk or your favorite beverage.

Now go ahead—get your apron on! You won’t regret whipping up these fudgy chewy browkies that will have everyone begging for seconds!

Essential Tips for Browkies

Fudgy Chewy Browkies thrive on balance; keep the cookie base dough slightly underbaked for that luscious chewy texture.
Avoid overmixing the batter to maintain a rich, fudgy consistency.
Don’t skip the quality chocolate; it truly makes a world of difference in flavor.

Perfecting the Cooking Process

To achieve the best fudgy chewy browkies, start by melting your chocolate and butter together first. Then, while that cools, mix your dry ingredients separately, ensuring everything blends evenly for optimal flavor and texture.

Add Your Touch

Feel free to personalize your browkies by adding nuts, caramel swirls, or even a sprinkle of sea salt on top before baking. These additions can elevate the flavors and provide delightful surprises with every bite.

Storing & Reheating

Store any leftover browkies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to five days. To enjoy them warm again, simply pop them in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds.

Chef's Helpful Tips

Always use room temperature eggs and butter to create a smooth batter.
Underbake your browkies slightly; they’ll continue cooking as they cool.
Don’t forget to let them rest before cutting; this improves texture immensely!

Fudgy Chewy Browkies hold a special place in my heart; I once made them for a potluck and they vanished within minutes! Friends still ask me for this recipe years later.
