Ingredients
To create these indulgent fudgy brownie cookies, gather the following ingredients:
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter – For that rich, decadent flavor. You can substitute with coconut oil for a dairy-free version.
- 1 ½ cups granulated sugar – The base for sweetness. Brown sugar can be used for a more caramel-like flavor.
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed – This enhances moisture and adds a deep flavor.
- 4 large eggs – For structure and moisture. Try replacing with flax eggs (1 tbsp flaxseed meal + 2.5 tbsp water per egg) for a vegan option.
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract – For a hint of aroma. Almond extract can serve as an interesting alternative.
- 1 cup all-purpose flour – The binding agent giving your cookies the desired chewiness. Almond flour can be used for a gluten-free option.
- 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder – This is essential for that deep chocolate flavor.
- 1 teaspoon baking powder – To ensure your cookies rise beautifully.
- ½ teaspoon salt – Enhances the sweetness of the chocolate.
- 1 cup chocolate chips – Use semi-sweet for traditional flavor, or dark chocolate for an intense experience.
Instructions
🔵 Step 1: Preheat and Prepare
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper for easy release and cleanup.
🔵 Step 2: Melt the Butter
In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the unsalted butter completely. Stir until smooth, then remove from heat. This step enhances that fudgy texture.
🔵 Step 3: Mix Sugars
In a large bowl, mix the granulated sugar and brown sugar with the melted butter until glossy and well-combined.
🔵 Step 4: Add Eggs and Vanilla
Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each. Stir in the vanilla extract. This builds a rich, moist base for your brookies.
🔵 Step 5: Combine Dry Ingredients
Whisk flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt in a separate bowl. Slowly add to the wet mixture, stirring just until combined—don’t overmix!
🔵 Step 6: Fold in Chocolate Chips
Gently fold in chocolate chips for that gooey, chocolatey finish.
🔵 Step 7: Scoop and Bake
Scoop dough onto prepared sheets using a cookie scoop or spoon. Bake for 10–12 minutes, until edges are set but centers remain soft.
🔵 Step 8: Cool and Enjoy
Cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Enjoy warm for ultimate indulgence!
