How to make Brownie Cookies.

• Prep Time: 15 minutes .
• Bake Time: 8-10 minutes .
• Servings: 24 .
• How to Serve: Warm or cooled with a glass of milk.
• Notes: You will need a large baking sheet (or 2),a microwave-safe bowl, medium sized cookie scoop, and mixing bowl to make these cookies .

1. Prepare. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Prepare your baking sheet(s) for nonstick. I like to use parchment paper or a baking mat for a recipe such as this one.
2. Melt. In a microwave safe bowl, place the chocolate chips and butter. Microwave the ingredients until melted, stopping to carefully stir every 30 seconds, until melted. Then carefully stir the ingredients until smooth and well combined. This step can alternatively be done using the double boiler method.
3. Dry Ingredients. While the melted chocolate is cooling to room temperature, in a medium bowl, use a whisk to combine together the flour, the baking powder, unsweetened cocoa powder,.
4. Eggs. In a large mixing bowl, beat together the eggs and sugar alternative until creamy. The stir in your vanilla extract.
5. Combine. Add the cooled melted chocolate mixture from the second step the large mixing bowl and mix to combine. Then add the dry ingredients from the medium bowl to the mixing bowl and mix until just combined.
6. Scoop. Use a medium sized cookie scoop to scoop out the cookie dough and place the cookies about at least an inch and a half apart from one another.
7. Bake. Bake the cookies for seven to 10 minutes or until edges appear to be set (the center will still be soft). You should also see cracks on top of the cookies.
8. Cool. Let the cookies sit on the baking sheet for about ten minutes to cool as this will help the center set. Then transfer the cookies to a cooling rack.

Tips for making the best brownie cookies

Adding a teaspoon or two of espresso coffee can bring out the chocolate flavor in these cookies! Feel free to add in other additional ingredients such as chopped walnuts.

More helpful tips for you.

1. When melting the chocolate and butter, it is important to stop and stir the ingredients intervals to prevent the chocolate from seizing or burning. Also, allow these melted ingredients to cool to room temperature before adding them to the egg mixture to avoid scrambling the eggs.
2. If your cookie dough seems too loose or hard to scoop, refrigerate the dough for about a half hour. This will help the dough keep its shape better.
3. Brownie cookies are easy to overbake, which can make them too hard. For fudgy cookies, remove them from the oven when you see cracks on top and the center looks set but soft.

How to store brownie cookies.

Once these cookies have fully cooled, they can be stored in an airtight container. When properly stored, these cookies should keep for up to three days at room temperature or up to three months when frozen.
