Bake these easy chocolate brownie cookies that combine the fudgy texture of brownies with the chewiness of cookies. They feature rich chocolate flavor and desirable crackly tops, perfect for a quick dessert fix.

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 bittersweet chocolate, chopped (or chocolate chips)
  • 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate 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 combined.
  3. Beat 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, salt, and baking powder.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Fold in the chopped bittersweet chocolate and the semi-sweet chocolate chips.
  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 look slightly underdone 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 a crackly finish as they cool.

Notes

  • For extra fudgy results, slightly underbake the cookies; they firm up as they cool.
  • If you want a shinier top, slightly increase the amount of sugar used in the recipe.
  • You can chill the dough for 30 minutes before scooping if your kitchen is warm, which helps prevent spreading.
