brownie cookie tips and faqs
What kind of chocolate is best for brownie cookies?
Semi sweet is the ideal chocolate because it’s not too sweet, and not too bitter, with a nice assertive chocolate flavor. This recipe uses melted chocolate and chocolate chips for a one-two chocolate punch. You can play around with mix and matching if you like ~ use semi sweet and milk chocolate, or semi sweet and bittersweet. You can even use white chocolate chips if you like.
Can I add nuts to these cookies?
Yes! Chopped pecans or walnuts would be great. Chop them fairly fine, and use 1/2 cup.
Can these cookies be made gluten free?
Use a good quality gf baking mix in place of the flour.
How long will these cookies last?
These cookies are moist and will last up to 5 days in an airtight container at room temperature.
Can brownie cookies be frozen?
Yes, just be sure to let them cool completely before popping into a heavy duty freezer bag. Force out any excess air before freezing and use within a month for best quality.
Can I make these into sandwich cookies?
Yes, fill them with any frosting you like. Peanut butter or Nutella would work, too. Check out my peppermint sandwich cookies.

Servings: 30 cookies
Equipment
1" cookie scoop
parchment paper
Ingredients
- 2 Tbsp unsalted butter
- 7 ounces semi sweet or bittersweet chocolate, cut in small pieces. You can also use good quality chocolate chips.
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup all purpose flour
- 1/4 tsp baking powder
- 3/4 cup chocolate chips. You can use semi sweet, bittersweet, or mini chips.
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
Put the butter and chocolate in a microwave safe bowl and heat on high for one minute. Remove and stir to melt the chocolate. Heat a little bit more if needed. When the mixture is smooth, set aside to cool.
Beat the eggs and sugar in a stand mixer or with electric beaters until pale and thick. This will take several minutes.
Add the slightly cooled chocolate to the eggs and sugar, and gently mix together. Blend in the vanilla.
Whisk together the flour and baking powder and fold into the wet ingredients. Mix just until combined.
Fold in the chocolate chips.
Let the dough sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes covered with a clean towel. It will thicken up as it sits.
Scoop out the dough with a rounded 1 inch scoop and put on a lined baking sheet. Keep the cookies 2 inches apart. If your scoops look wonky, wet your finger and smooth them out a little. Note: the batter will be quite tacky.
Bake for about 7-8 minutes, or until dry on top and starting to crackle. They will be puffed at first but will flatten as they cool. Let cool for a minute or two on the baking sheet before transferring to a rack. Note: Don't over bake these little cookies, you want them to be rich and fudgy. I found 7 minutes to work every time.
