Chocolate Brownie Cookies
Rich, fudgy cookies with shiny crackly tops and soft, chewy centers—everything you love about brownies in an easy, scoop-and-bake cookie. Perfect for weeknights, parties, and chocolate emergencies.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (for melting)
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips or chunks (optional, for extra chocolate)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter and 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth. Let cool slightly.
- In a large bowl, whisk together granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla until the mixture looks thick and glossy.
- Stir the melted chocolate mixture into the egg-sugar mixture until combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture just until no dry streaks remain.
- Fold in the optional chocolate chips or chunks.
- Scoop rounded tablespoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing about 2 inches apart.
- Bake 9–11 minutes, until tops are shiny and crackled and edges are set while centers remain soft.
- Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.
