Brownie Cookies Ingredients
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Prepare the Oven and Baking Sheet: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the melted butter and granulated sugar. Stir in the vanilla extract until fully incorporated. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition to create a smooth, creamy mixture.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. This ensures an even distribution and helps avoid lumps in the batter.
- Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring gently just until combined. Be careful not to overmix to maintain the fudgy texture of the brownies.
- Add Chocolate Chips: Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips evenly throughout the batter for added bursts of chocolate in every bite.
- Form Cookie Dough Balls: Use a tablespoon or cookie scoop to drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are set and slightly crisp but the center still looks fudgy. The cookies will continue to firm up as they cool.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This prevents them from breaking and helps achieve the perfect chewy texture.
Notes
- For an extra gooey cookie, slightly underbake and let cool on the baking sheet.
- You can substitute semi-sweet chocolate chips with dark or milk chocolate depending on preference.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or freeze for longer storage.
