Brownie Cookie Recipe Ingredients
Here’s what you’ll need to make these rich, fudgy, salted brownie cookies!
- Â All-purpose flour: I have only tried this recipe with all-purpose flour, I didn’t try it with any other kind of flour.Â
- Baking powder and salt
- Eggs: you’ll need two large eggs and one large egg yolk, preferably at room temperature.Â
- Sugar: granulated sugar
- Vegetable oil: Just 1 to 2 tablespoons is required.Â
- Vanilla extractÂ
- Butter: Unsalted
- Chocolate chips: Semi-sweet is best for this recipe and any brad you prefer. You’ll need 1 cup, and keep some extra if you want to top the cookies.
- Cocoa powder: Unsweetened
- Salt flakes: I used fine sea salt in the cookie batter, but also highly recommend sprinkling some flaky sea salt on top.
How to Make Brownie Cookies
- Set oven and prepare the baking sheet: Line the baking sheet with parchment paper. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.Â
- Whisk the dry ingredients: In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and a pinch of sea salt until nicely combined.Â
- Prep the chocolate: take a heat-proof mixing bowl, place chocolate and butter, and set over a saucepan with 1-inch of barely simmering water set over low heat (aka a double boiler). The bowl should not be touching the water.
Let the mixture heat, stirring continuously with a spatula and scraping along with a bowl, until the chocolate and butter are just melted. Remove the bowl from the heat and let it cool until just warm or for at least 6 to 8 minutes.
- Prep the egg and sugar mixture: Now, using a stand mixture or a hand mixer, beat the eggs and sugar together on low speed until combined, then slowly increase the speed to high and whip for 4 minutes until pale, fluffy, and slightly thicken.Â
- Blend the mixture together: Pour the vanilla and slightly cooled chocolate mixture into the egg and sugar mixture, and fold it with a rubber spatula until just combined. (Do not over mix!!)Â
- Add in the dry mixture (flour mix), then blend at low speed until just combined. Scrape the bowl with a silicone spatula and fold from the bottom to ensure the ingredients are evenly combined.
How to Bake Chocolate Brownie Cookies
- Scoop out the dough onto the baking sheet: using a large cookie scoop or a spoon, drop the batter slightly ball-sized onto the prepared baking sheet (spaced at least 2 to 2.5 inches apart).Â
- Bake the Chocolate brownie cookies: Bake in the preheated oven for about 10 to 12 minutes or until the top of the cookies is crinkly and slightly domed. Then transfer to a wire rack to cool for about 10 to 12 minutes.
- Serve the chocolate brownie cookies while they’re still warm, and enjoy!
How to store the brownie cookies:Â
- Store the cooled brownie cookies in a well-sealed airtight container.
- They will keep good at room temperature for up to 4 days.
- Store in the fridge for up to 1 weekÂ
- You can also freeze them for up to 3 months.
