Dark Chocolate Brookies Recipe

When doing Master chef as the theme, how can i miss out Brookies? During season 8 they became pretty popular and there were so many bakers who tried. Even I made some eggless brookies and they were just amazing. But I never tried the exact recipe from the site. So this week I decided to make them for my daughter. The original recipe uses 70% chocolate, but I used 50% Cadbury’s Bournville. This is one recipe which would be any chocolate lover’s delight. I made 1/4th of the original recipe and got 6 brookies along with one cookie. The wonderful thing about this recipe is, it is gluten free. And I also used naattu sakkarai ( powdered jaggery ) instead of sugar. But I know there is some problem with the recipe. The amount of corn flour in the original recipe is too low  and so the batter was quite thin.  May be I mistook corn flour for corn starch, as we call it in India, but I am not sure.

Even after refrigeration, I couldn’t shape it into a cookie. So baked them in individual cupcake liners. The top of the brookies is quite firm just like a cookie, but inside it is so gooey and fudgy like a brownie. Next time I will try increasing the corn flour and see what happens. Before I baked them in liners, I made a test batch of one cookie on a tray. It spread out so thin, like a florentine cookies and was so crisp on top and slightly gooey inside. I tasted that test batch and I wished I have baked more. It was too delicious to stop. But I don’t want to mess up my diet, so stopped eating. Now Sruti has six of these and I don’t know how many days it would last for her. She is so deprived of cakes and cookies and it is no wonder if all disappear today itself.
