Easy & Gooey Brownie Cookies Recipe
These cookies have the chocolate goodness and gooey texture of a brownie!
Equipment
- 1 Large Baking Sheet
- 1 Heat Safe Bowl
- 1 Stand Mixer or Electric Mixer
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup Dark Chocolate
- 1/4 cup Milk Chocolate Chopped, this is optional
- 1/4 cup Butter
- 2 tbsp Dutch Cocoa
- 1 large Egg
- 1/2 cup White Sugar
- 1/4 cup Dark Brown Sugar Light is fine, dark helps for a rich, chewy cookie.
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 1 tsp Baking Powder
- 1/4 tsp Salt
- 1/2 cup Flour
Instructions
- In a heat safe bowl, combine the dark chocolate and butter. You can use a microwave for 30 second intervals, stirring thoroughly and completely before moving on or you can place the bowl above a fitted stock pot with 1-2 inches of water in the stock pot below. Keep the heat on low and stir the chocolate and butter thoroughly.
- Whichever method you choose, set the chocolate and butter aside once melted. Allow the chocolate and butter to cool to near room temperature so that it doesn't melt the sugar.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl combine the white sugar, brown sugar, egg and vanilla.
- Use a mixer to beat the mixture on high for 7 minutes allowing the volume and texture to change.
- Gently mix in your chocolate and butter mixture.
- Sprinkle in the cocoa powder, salt, baking powder, and flour. Mix gently only mixing until the ingredients are incorporated.
- Mix in your chopped milk chocolate until evenly incorporated.
- Immediately scoop the dough into approximately 2 tablespoon sized dough balls.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes. Look for crinkly tops to know when they are done.
- Remove the cookies from the oven but leave them on the baking pan for at least 5-10 minutes.
- Optional: While still warm, dust them with a touch of flaky sea salt.
