How to Make Brownie Cookies
Here are the step-by-step instructions. Find the full ingredient amounts and instructions in the recipe card below.
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. In a small saucepan, over low heat, melt the chocolate chips and butter. Remove from heat and allow to cool.
3. In a large bowl, or the bowl of a stand mixer (using the whip attachment), combine the eggs, sugar, and vanilla. Whip (with the stand mixer or a handheld electric mixer) on a high speed for about 5 minutes or until the mixture looks fluffy and light.
4.Pour the bowl of melted chocolate chips and butter into the egg and sugar mixture, mixing on a lower speed until all ingredients are incorporated.
5. Add the flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking soda, mixing on low speed until all ingredients are combined. The batter will be a bit thin (not as thick as cookie dough).
6. Use a spoon or a cookie scoop to drop the cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets. Place each blob of dough about 2-3 inches apart, as these cookies will spread.
7. Bake at 350 degrees F for 10 minutes or until the edges of the cookies are firm.
8. Remove baking sheets from the oven and allow cookies to cool on the cookie sheet for 10-15 minutes. Then remove cookies to a wire rack to finish cooling.
9. Store cookies in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
Brownie Cookies Tips
- A great addition to these would be a sprinkle of coarse sea salt when they are fresh out of the oven!
- Be sure to use an electric or stand mixer to mix your dough.
Frequently Asked Questions
What if my cookie batter is too thin?
This brownie cookie recipe makes fudgy cookies that have a fudgy center and a crinkly top. The batter will look more like brownie batter, which is a bit thinner and less like a thick cookie dough.
How can I tell if my cookies are done?
After about 10 minutes of baking, the edges of your cookies should be crispy.
Do I have to use a stand mixer?
No, but I don’t recommend doing it by hand. You will need an electric hand mixer.
How long can I store Brownie Cookies?
These will store in an airtight container for up to 4-5 days.
