Decadent Brownie Cookies
Brownie Cookies deliver the dense, fudgy interior of a brownie in a handheld cookie form, with crackly tops and rich chocolate flavor throughout. The batter comes together in one bowl and bakes in about 12 minutes, making these a quick option when a chocolate craving hits. Chilling the dough briefly before baking helps the cookies hold their shape.
Equipment

- Measuring spoons
Ingredients
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips preferably high-quality
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter softened
- 2 large eggs room temperature
- ⅔ cup granulated sugar
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour sifted
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- ¼ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Melt Chocolate & Butter: In a saucepan over low heat, melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips and butter together, stirring until smooth and glossy. Let cool slightly.
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Mix Eggs & Sugar: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and granulated sugar until pale and slightly thickened.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: Stir the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture, ensuring a uniform blend.
- Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add these dry ingredients to the chocolate mixture, folding until just combined.
- Form Cookies: Drop tablespoons of the batter onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake: Bake for 12 minutes, or until the tops are shiny and crispy, with a slightly soft center. Allow to cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
Notes
- If you prefer a deeper chocolate flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of espresso powder to the mix.
- For a nutty crunch, fold in chopped walnuts or pecans to the batter.
