Brownie Cookies

Craving the fudgy bite of a brownie, but also the crispy edges of a cookie? No need to choose with this recipe for intense chocolate brownie cookies. This recipe offers brownies with the quintessential crackly crust in cookie form.

The instructions for this cookie recipe are very similar to a brownie recipe. You start by melting the chocolate and butter together. You beat the eggs and sugar together for a few minutes until you reach that desired ribbon-like consistency. The amount of flour required is minimal. It truly results in a brownie-like treat with the beautiful crackly crust and fudgy center!

Tips 

Weigh your ingredients

A kitchen scale is an invaluable tool for a baker.  You will get the best, most consistent results by taking the time to weigh your ingredients.

Quality Chocolate

I recommend you use good quality chocolate for these brownie cookies since the flavour takes center stage in this recipe.  I chose Valrhona’s Manjari 64% dark chocolate from Madagascar.  

Ice Cream Scoop 

Whenever I make cookies, I love to use an ice cream scoop with a release trigger to scoop the batter into even balls.  My ice cream scoop has a 2’’ diameter.

I’ve only tasted 2 of two of your recipes so far but this one is by far my favourite! Shortbread always reminds me of my time in Scotland!
