Easy Brownie Cookies Recipe
My brownie cookies have the rich chocolate flavor and fudgy texture of our favorite brownie ~ they're the perfect chocolate cookie!
Servings: 30 cookies
Equipment
- 1" cookie scoop
- parchment paper
Ingredients
- 2 Tbsp unsalted butter
- 7 ounces semi sweet or bittersweet chocolate, cut in small pieces. You can also use good quality chocolate chips.
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup all purpose flour
- 1/4 tsp baking powder
- 3/4 cup chocolate chips. You can use semi sweet, bittersweet, or mini chips.
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Put the butter and chocolate in a microwave safe bowl and heat on high for one minute. Remove and stir to melt the chocolate. Heat a little bit more if needed. When the mixture is smooth, set aside to cool.
- Beat the eggs and sugar in a stand mixer or with electric beaters until pale and thick. This will take several minutes.
- Add the slightly cooled chocolate to the eggs and sugar, and gently mix together. Blend in the vanilla.
- Whisk together the flour and baking powder and fold into the wet ingredients. Mix just until combined.
- Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Let the dough sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes covered with a clean towel. It will thicken up as it sits.
- Scoop out the dough with a rounded 1 inch scoop and put on a lined baking sheet. Keep the cookies 2 inches apart. If your scoops look wonky, wet your finger and smooth them out a little. Note: the batter will be quite tacky.
- Bake for about 7-8 minutes, or until dry on top and starting to crackle. They will be puffed at first but will flatten as they cool. Let cool for a minute or two on the baking sheet before transferring to a rack. Note: Don't over bake these little cookies, you want them to be rich and fudgy. I found 7 minutes to work every time.
