Ingredients

Scale

Chocolate & Butter

  • 7 oz (200g) bittersweet chocolate, chopped
  • 1/4 cup (56g) unsalted butter

Main 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

Add-ins

  • 1/2 cup (85g) dark chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line your baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent the brownie drops from sticking. Note that you will reduce the oven temperature before baking in the next step.
  2. Melt Chocolate and Butter: In a heatproof bowl, melt the bittersweet chocolate and unsalted butter together until fully smooth and glossy. You can do this over a double boiler or in short bursts in the microwave, stirring often. Set aside to cool slightly.
  3. Beat Eggs and Sugar: In a separate bowl, beat the room temperature eggs with granulated sugar until the mixture becomes pale, thick, and slightly fluffy. This aerates the batter, contributing to the texture.
  4. Combine Mixtures: Fold the slightly warm melted chocolate and butter mixture gently into the beaten eggs and sugar until combined but not overmixed.
  5. Mix Dry Ingredients: Sift together cornstarch, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt to avoid lumps. Gradually stir these dry ingredients into the chocolate batter, folding it carefully. Then fold in the dark chocolate chips evenly through the mixture.
  6. Rest the Batter: Cover the batter and let it rest for 10 minutes. This allows it to thicken into a fudge-like consistency perfect for scooping.
  7. Lower Oven Temperature and Bake: Reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C). Scoop spoonfuls of batter onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them adequately. Bake for 8 to 11 minutes until the edges are set but the centers remain fudgy.
  8. Cool and Serve: Remove from oven and transfer the brownie drops to wire racks to cool completely before enjoying.

Notes

  • The resting time after mixing is crucial for the fudge-like texture.
  • Use room temperature eggs for better emulsification and texture.
  • If you prefer a less intense chocolate flavor, you can substitute bittersweet chocolate with semisweet chocolate.
  • Do not overbake; the cookies should remain soft and fudgy inside.
  • These brownie drops freeze well for up to 3 months; thaw at room temperature before serving.
