You can make these fudgy chocolate brownie cookies that combine the best parts of brownies and cookies. They have rich chocolate flavor, soft centers, and desirable crackly tops. This recipe is easy to bake and perfect for a quick dessert.

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 salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 4 ounces semi-sweet chocolate, chopped (for texture and flavor)

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 combined.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Fold in the chopped semi-sweet chocolate pieces.
  7. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, about 2 inches apart. These cookies spread.
  8. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes. The edges should look set, but the centers will still look soft and fudgy.
  9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. The crackly tops will form as they cool.

Notes

  • For extra rich chocolate flavor, use high-quality cocoa powder.
  • If you want a gooey brownie center, slightly underbake the cookies by one minute.
  • You can chill the dough for 30 minutes before scooping if your kitchen is very warm; this helps prevent excessive spreading.
