Ingredients
Scale
Chocolate Mixture
- 7 oz (200g) bittersweet chocolate, chopped
- 1/4 cup (56g) unsalted butter
Batter
- 2 large eggs, at room temperature
- 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons (24g) cornstarch
- 1/4 cup (21g) cocoa powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup (85g) dark chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F. Prepare by lining baking sheets with parchment paper. Before baking, you will reduce the oven temperature to 350°F to ensure even and gentle cooking of the brownie drops.
- Melt Chocolate: In a heatproof bowl, melt the bittersweet chocolate and unsalted butter together gently until the mixture is smooth and glossy. Set this mixture aside to cool slightly.
- Prepare Batter: Using a mixer, beat the eggs and granulated sugar together until the mixture becomes pale and thick, indicating it is well aerated. Gently fold the warm chocolate and butter mixture into this egg mixture so it’s fully incorporated without deflating.
- Add Dry Ingredients: Sift together the cornstarch, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt to eliminate lumps. Stir these dry ingredients into the chocolate-egg mixture carefully. Then, fold in the dark chocolate chips evenly into the batter.
- Chill Batter: Cover the batter and let it rest for about 10 minutes until it develops a fudge-like consistency, which makes it easier to scoop and bake.
- Bake Cookies: Using a spoon or small scoop, drop spoonfuls of batter onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them out evenly. Bake in the oven preheated to 350°F for 8-11 minutes until the edges are set but the centers remain soft. Remove from oven and cool the brownie drops on wire racks before serving.
Notes
- For best results, use room temperature eggs to ensure they whip up properly with the sugar.
- Do not overbake; brownies should be soft and slightly underbaked for that fudgy texture.
- You can store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
- Using parchment paper helps prevent sticking and makes cleanup easier.
- Customize by adding nuts or swapping dark chocolate chips for your preferred chocolate variety.
