Description
Fudgy, chewy brownie cookies with rich chocolate flavor and crackly tops—easy to make and perfect for any chocolate lover.
Ingredients
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
1 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 large eggs
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a bowl, whisk melted butter, sugar, cocoa powder, and vanilla until smooth.
Add eggs one at a time, whisking well after each.
In a separate bowl, mix flour, baking powder, and salt. Fold into wet ingredients until just combined.
Stir in chocolate chips if using.
Drop tablespoonfuls of dough onto prepared sheets, spacing 2 inches apart.
Bake 8–10 minutes until edges are set and tops are cracked.
Cool on sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Add espresso powder to deepen chocolate flavor.
Try white chocolate or peanut butter chips for variation.
Dough can be chilled for thicker cookies.
Gluten-free 1:1 flour blend works well as a substitute.
