Gourmet Brownie Cookies

These gourmet brownie cookies combine the best parts of brownies and cookies with a dense, chewy texture and chocolatey flavor.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Cream the softened butter with the granulated and brown sugars until smooth and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
  6. Fold in the chocolate chips until evenly dispersed.
  7. Drop rounded tablespoonfuls onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake for 10–12 minutes until the edges are set and the centers are slightly soft.
  9. Let the cookies rest on the baking sheets for 3–5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For a fudgier texture, swap 2 tablespoons of flour for almond meal. To make dairy-free, use vegan butter and dairy-free chocolate chips.
