Fudgy Brownie Cookies Recipe
Ingredients:
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
12 ounces bittersweet chocolate chips (60-70% cacao)
1/2 cup mini semisweet chocolate chips
3 eggs
1/2 cup butter
1 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup chopped pecans (optional)
Instructions:
Melt the bittersweet chocolate chips and butter together in a saucepan over low heat, stirring until smooth. Allow the mixture to cool slightly.
In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract until well blended.
Gradually mix the melted chocolate into the egg mixture until uniform.
Sift the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt into another bowl. Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
If desired, fold in the chopped pecans and mini semisweet chocolate chips. Chill the batter, covered, for 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Using a 1.5 tablespoon cookie scoop, drop dollops of cookie dough onto the baking sheets, spacing them apart to allow for spreading.
Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the cookies display a slightly cracked surface but remain soft in the center. Avoid overbaking to ensure a fudgy texture.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Indulge in the process of baking and enjoying these Fudgy Brownie Cookies, perfect for any occasion. Whether for a cozy night in or a special gathering, these cookies are bound to delight any chocolate lover, encapsulating the essence of both brownies and cookies in one irresistible bite.
