Recipe for Fudgy Brownie Cookies:
Follow this straightforward recipe to create a batch of delectable cookies that are sure to satisfy your sweet tooth.
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups bittersweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
Directions:
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and set it aside.
- Melt Chocolate and Butter:
- In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the chocolate chips and butter. Stir continuously until the mixture is completely melted and smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- Mix Wet Ingredients:
- In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the eggs, granulated sugar, brown sugar, vanilla extract, baking powder, and salt. Mix on high speed for about 5 minutes until the mixture is thick and creamy.
- Combine Chocolate:
- Reduce the mixer speed to low and slowly add the melted chocolate mixture to the egg mixture. Continue mixing until thoroughly combined.
- Add Dry Ingredients:
- Gently stir in the flour and cocoa powder, mixing just until combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the cookies fudgy.
- Chill the Dough:
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill the dough in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. This helps the batter firm up and makes it easier to scoop.
- Scoop and Bake:
- Once chilled, use a spoon or cookie scoop to drop 1 1/2 tablespoon-sized scoops of batter onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still soft.
- Cool:
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
