What if I don’t have chocolate chips?

How can I tell when the brookies are perfectly baked?

The edges should slightly pull away from the tray, and the surface should look set. They should feel soft in the center when pressed.

What should I do if my brookies are too flat?

Ensure the butter is melted but not too hot, and avoid over-mixing the batter.

Can I make these brookies gluten-free?

Can I use a different type of sugar?

You can replace the demerara sugar with brown sugar, though the texture may slightly differ.

Why do I need to let the brookies cool on the tray?
