Fudgy Brownie Cookies Recipe

Fudgy Brownie Cookies Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup unsalted butter
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• Extra chocolate chips for filling and topping

Instructions:

1. Melt Chocolate and Butter:
   • In a medium saucepan, melt the butter and 1 cup of chocolate chips over low heat, stirring frequently until smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
2. Mix Wet Ingredients:
   • In a large bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
   • Stir the melted chocolate mixture into the sugar and egg mixture until well combined.
3. Combine Dry Ingredients:
   • In another bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder.
   • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined.
4. Prepare Cookie Dough:
   • If the dough is very soft, let it chill in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to make it easier to handle.
   • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
5. Form Cookies:
   • Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Press a few extra chocolate chips into the top of each dough ball for a gooey center and aesthetic appeal.
   • Space the cookies about 2 inches apart as they will spread.
6. Bake:
   • Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still soft.
   • The cookies should have a shiny, crackly surface similar to brownies.
7. Cool:
   • Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

These cookies offer the best of both worlds with the crispy edges of a cookie and the rich, fudgy center of a brownie. Enjoy your baking and indulging in these chocolate delights!
