  • Author: Chef Emma
  • Total Time: 35–45 minutes
  • Yield: 15 cookies 1x
  • Diet: Vegetarian

Description

Fudgy, chewy, crinkle-top Chocolate Brownie Cookies that bake up glossy and gooey—like a brownie and a cookie had the most delicious little duet. Easy batter, no chill, big chocolate flavor.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz (225 g) dark chocolate, chopped
  • 4 tbsp (56 g) unsalted butter
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup (100 g) granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup (90 g) demerara or light brown sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup (95 g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 tbsp (12 g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp fine sea salt
  • 1/2 cup (85 g) chocolate chips
  • Flaky sea salt, optional

Instructions

  1. Melt chocolate and butter together until smooth; cool slightly.
  2. Whip eggs with both sugars until very pale and fluffy (3–5 minutes). Beat in vanilla.
  3. Stream in melted chocolate; mix just to combine.
  4. Whisk flour, cocoa, baking powder, and salt; fold into batter. Fold in chips.
  5. Scoop onto parchment-lined trays. Bake at 170°C/338°F (160°C/320°F fan) for 12–14 minutes until crackled with soft centers.
  6. Sprinkle with flaky salt, cool 10 minutes on the tray, then move to a rack.

Notes

For shinier tops, bake soon after mixing and whip eggs/sugar until thick and pale. Add espresso powder for mocha, or toasted nuts for crunch. Store airtight up to 5 days or freeze up to 3 months.
