Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 160°C (320°F) for fan-assisted or 170°C (338°F) for conventional. Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- In a heatproof bowl, combine dark chocolate and butter. Set over simmering water, stirring until smooth. Mix in vanilla extract and let cool slightly.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat eggs with caster and demerara sugars until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes.
- Sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Gently fold in chocolate chips.
- Fold the cooled chocolate mixture into the egg and sugar blend gently, being careful not to deflate the eggs.
- Gradually incorporate the sifted dry ingredients into the chocolate-egg mixture until just combined.
- Scoop spoonfuls of batter onto the prepared baking tray, spacing them apart. Bake for 12-14 minutes or until edges pull away and a crackled top forms.
- Remove from oven and sprinkle with flaky sea salt, if desired. Let cool on the tray for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes
For gluten-free brookies, use gluten-free all-purpose flour. Melt chocolate and butter carefully to prevent greasy cookies. Let brookies sit on the tray before transferring to avoid breakage.
