Description
These brownie cookies combine the rich, fudgy texture of brownies with the convenience of soft, chewy cookies. Crackly tops, gooey centers, and deep chocolate flavor make them an irresistible treat for any occasion.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips (divided, some for melting and some optional for folding in)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter and 1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Let the mixture cool slightly.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until light and fluffy.
- Slowly mix in the melted chocolate mixture until combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.
- Fold in the remaining 1/2 cup of chocolate chips or chunks, if using.
- Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each cookie.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the tops are crackly and the edges are set but the centers are still soft.
- Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For extra gooey cookies, avoid overbaking—take them out when the centers still look slightly underdone.
- Customize with nuts, caramel, or extracts like peppermint or espresso.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
- Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor and texture.
- Ensure eggs and butter are at room temperature for better mixing and consistency.
