Kitchen Tools Needed

Ingredients

How to Make Brownie Cookies

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Melt the chocolate chips and butter together in a heatproof bowl. Stir until smooth, then let cool slightly.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk eggs, sugar, and vanilla until combined.
4. Add the melted chocolate mixture to the egg mixture and stir well.
5. In another bowl, whisk flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
6. Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and stir until just combined. The batter should be thick.
7. Scoop tablespoon-sized portions onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
8. Bake for 9–10 minutes, or until the tops crackle but the centers are still soft.
9. Cool on the sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a rack to cool fully.

Tips for Success

• Do not overbake. The cookies firm up as they cool.
• Chill the batter for 10 minutes if it feels too loose.
• Add a sprinkle of sea salt before baking for extra flavor.
