Description
These salted brownie cookies combine the rich, fudgy texture of brownies with the convenience of cookies. With a crackly top and gooey center, they’re finished with a sprinkle of flaky sea salt for the perfect sweet-salty bite.
Ingredients
- 6 oz semi-sweet baking chocolate, chopped
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter
- 2 large eggs
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- Flaky sea salt, for topping
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350ºF (177ºC) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chopped semi-sweet baking chocolate and butter together in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth. Let cool slightly.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract until thick and pale in color (about 3-4 minutes).
- Slowly mix the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined.
- Stir in the chocolate chips.
- Using a 1 1/2 tablespoon cookie scoop, drop dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Top each cookie with a light sprinkle of flaky sea salt.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the tops are shiny and crackled.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Don’t overbake—the centers should remain soft and fudgy.
- Use good quality chocolate for best results.
- These cookies are best enjoyed the day they’re made but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
- If dough is too soft to scoop, chill it for 10-15 minutes.
