This brownie recipe was given to me by chatGPT, but it is THE BEST.
Ingredients
- 210 g dark chocolate (≥52% cocoa)
- 90 g white sugar
- 60 g light brown sugar
- 60 g wheat flour
- 2 eggs
- 60 g butter
- 18 g unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 tsp baking powder (slightly heaped)
- Small pinch of salt
- Vanilla sugar or vanilla extract — to taste
Instructions
How to make them soft
1. Don't overbake (most important!)
- Bake at 170-175°C
- Time: 9-11 minutes
- Take them out when edges are just set and centers look slightly underbaked
- They will firm up while cooling but stay soft inside
2. Use more brown sugar than white (optional but great)
- You can do: 50 g white sugar + 100 g light brown sugar
- Brown sugar keeps cookies moist and chewy
3. Chill the dough (optional but recommended)
- 30 minutes in the fridge
- Helps cookies stay thick and soft
4. Don't overmix
- Mix just until flour disappears
- Overmixing = tougher cookies
5. Size matters
- Scoop tablespoon-sized balls
- Slightly flatten them before baking, unless they stick to the spoon too much. They will flatten anyway
Hope you enjoy these brownies as much as I do. Happy baking!
