Description

These brownie cookies are the perfect mix of a chewy brownie and a soft, fudgy cookie. With a rich chocolate flavor, crispy edges, and a gooey center, they’re a chocolate lover’s dream! A sprinkle of flaky sea salt on top takes them to the next level.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 8 oz (225g) dark chocolate, chopped
  • 1/4 cup (57g) unsalted butter
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2/3 cup (133g) granulated sugar
  • 1/3 cup (65g) brown sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup (63g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup (21g) cocoa powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup (85g) chocolate chips

 

  • Flaky sea salt, for topping

Instructions

  • Melt Chocolate & Butter: In a heatproof bowl, melt the dark chocolate and butter together over a double boiler or in the microwave in 30-second bursts. Stir until smooth. Let cool slightly.
  • Whisk Eggs & Sugar: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, granulated sugar, and brown sugar for about 2-3 minutes, until light and fluffy.
  • Combine Wet Ingredients: Stir in the vanilla extract and the melted chocolate mixture.
  • Mix Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
  • Combine Everything: Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Stir in the chocolate chips.
  • Chill Dough: Let the dough rest for about 10-15 minutes to firm up slightly.
  • Scoop & Bake: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the sheet, spacing them apart.
  • Bake: Bake for 8-10 minutes, until the edges are set but the centers are still soft.

 

  • Finish with Sea Salt: Remove from oven and sprinkle with flaky sea salt immediately. Let cool for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

  • For extra fudginess, slightly underbake the cookies.
  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.

 

  • Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor.
