Description
These Fudgy Brownie Cookies deliver the best of both worlds—deep, chocolatey brownie richness in the convenient form of a soft, chewy cookie. With crinkled tops and gooey centers, they’re ideal for holiday trays, indulgent snacks, or casual desserts.
Ingredients
170g semi-sweet chocolate chips
60g unsalted butter
100g granulated sugar
50g brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
70g all-purpose flour
30g cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
Flaky sea salt for topping (optional)
Instructions
1. Melt the chocolate chips and butter in a heatproof bowl over a double boiler or in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Let it cool slightly.
2. In a large bowl, beat the eggs, granulated sugar, and brown sugar on high for 3–5 minutes until thick and pale.
3. Stir in the melted chocolate and vanilla until fully combined.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Fold this into the wet mixture using a spatula until just combined.
5. Scoop the dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and let it rest for 15–20 minutes.
6. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake for 10–12 minutes until tops are crackled and edges set.
7. Remove from oven, sprinkle flaky salt if using, and cool on the sheet for 5 minutes. Transfer to wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Whipping the eggs and sugars long enough is key to achieving the signature crackly tops.
Letting the scooped dough rest helps with shape and texture.
Don’t overbake—carryover heat will finish the centers.
