Description

These brownie cookies are rich, fudgy, and chewy with a crackly top, combining the best parts of a brownie and a cookie into one delicious treat.


Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter
  • 1 cup (175g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup (50g) brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup (65g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup (25g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup (85g) mini chocolate chips (optional)


Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter and semi-sweet chocolate chips over low heat until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until light and fluffy.
  4. Gradually stir the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
  6. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Stir in the mini chocolate chips if using.
  7. Let the batter sit for 10–15 minutes to thicken slightly.
  8. Drop tablespoons of batter onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing about 2 inches apart.
  9. Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the tops are crackly and the edges are set.
  10. Let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For extra fudgy cookies, do not overbake.
  • Add a pinch of espresso powder to enhance the chocolate flavor.
  • Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
