If you love the rich, fudgy texture of brownies but crave the portability of a cookie, then these Chocolate Brownie Cookies are for you! They have crispy edges, a chewy center, and an intense chocolate flavor, making them perfect for any chocolate lover.
Ingredients:
• 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
• ½ cup unsalted butter
• ¾ cup granulated sugar
• ¼ cup brown sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• ¾ cup all-purpose flour
• ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• ½ teaspoon baking powder
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• ½ cup additional chocolate chips (for mix-in)
Instructions:
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Melt the chocolate and butter: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the 1 cup of chocolate chips and butter together in 20-second intervals, stirring between each until smooth. Let it cool slightly.
3. Mix the wet ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until light and fluffy. Add the melted chocolate mixture and stir until combined.
4. Prepare the dry ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring just until combined. Fold in the additional chocolate chips.
5. Scoop the dough: Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
6. Bake: Bake for 10–12 minutes or until the edges are set but the centers remain slightly soft. Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.These cookies are perfect for dessert or an afternoon treat with coffee or milk. The combination of a crispy outer layer and a gooey, brownie-like center makes them irresistible!
