Make these irresistible chocolate brownie cookies that combine the fudgy texture of brownies with the chewy form of a cookie. They feature rich chocolate flavor and a shiny, crackly top. This recipe is quick and perfect for satisfying your chocolate cravings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 4 ounces semi-sweet chocolate, chopped or chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth.
  3. Whisk in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing only until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Fold in the chopped semi-sweet chocolate.
  7. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes. The edges should look set, but the centers will still look soft and slightly underbaked for a fudgy texture.
  9. Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. The tops will develop their signature crackle as they cool.

Notes

  • For extra decadence, sprinkle a few flakes of sea salt on top of the dough balls before baking.
  • If you prefer a slightly firmer cookie, bake for an additional 1 to 2 minutes, watching carefully to prevent drying out the center.
  • You can use a cookie scoop for uniform size, but gently rolling the dough into balls works well too.
