Chocolate Brownie Cookies

 

Decadent Chocolate Brownie Cookies. A delightful treat that combines the richness of brownies with the simplicity of cookies!

Ingredients:

- 4 tablespoons of salted butter (57 grams or 1⁄2 stick)

- 1 pound of chopped semisweet chocolate (454 grams)

- 4 large eggs, at room temperature (200 grams)

- 1/2 cup of granulated sugar (300 grams)

- 1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract (4 grams)

- 1/2 cup of all-purpose flour, sifted (60 grams)

- 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder (2 grams)

- 12 ounces of milk chocolate chips (340 grams)

- Optional: Crushed peppermint for garnish

Directions:

Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lining your baking sheets with parchment paper.

Place chocolate and butter in a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water. Melt them together, stirring occasionally until smooth, then let cool slightly.

In a large bowl, beat the eggs and sugar at high speed until thick and pale, about 3-4 minutes. Mix in the vanilla extract.

Fold the slightly cooled chocolate mixture into the egg mixture until just combined.

Sift together the flour and baking powder, then fold into the chocolate mixture just until combined to maintain texture.

Stir in the milk chocolate chips evenly throughout the batter.

Spoon the batter onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing about 2 inches apart.

If desired, add crushed peppermint on top of each cookie.

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes until edges are set but centers are soft.

Allow to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
