Brownie cookies offer the best of both worlds: the fudgy richness of a brownie and the crispy edges of a cookie. Follow this guide to create your own batch of irresistible treats.
Gather the essentials: butter, sugar, eggs, flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, salt, and chocolate chips or chunks.
Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the dry ingredients. Fold in the chocolate chips.
Chill the dough in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. This helps prevent spreading during baking and enhances the flavors.
Use a cookie scoop or spoon to portion the dough onto a lined baking sheet. Leave enough space between each cookie for spreading.
Bake the cookies in a preheated oven according to the recipe instructions. Be sure not to overbake to maintain their fudgy texture.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Experiment with different add-ins like nuts, caramel bits, or flavored extracts to customize your brownie cookies.
Enjoy your freshly baked brownie cookies with a glass of milk, a scoop of ice cream, or sandwiched between two cookies for an indulgent treat.
