Fudgy Brownie Cookies
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup plain/all-purpose flour
60g
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
25g
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 7 oz 60 - 70% dark chocolate
coarsely chopped, 200g
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
56g
- 2 large eggs
room temperature
- 3/4 cup light brown sugar
150g
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions
- 1
Preheat the oven to 180C/350F/Gas 4. Line 2 large baking trays with parchment paper or a silicone mat, and set aside.
- 2
In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- 3
In a microwave-safe bowl, add the chocolate and butter. Heat in 30 second intervals, stirring after each one, until melted and smooth. Set aside.
- 4
Using either a hand mixer or a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat together the eggs and sugar until pale, fluffy, and tripled in volume - about 5 minutes.
- 5
Add the chocolate mixture and vanilla, and whisk until combined.
- 6
Add the dry ingredients and fold in until smooth and combined. The batter will be very runny.
- 7
Refrigerate for 15 minutes until thickened slightly, and resembles more like a thick brownie batter when mixed.
- 8
Using a medium cookie scoop, divide all of the batter out between the prepared baking trays.
- 9
NOTE: Scooping out all of the dough at once onto baking trays is key to shiny, crinkly tops on all cookies.
- 10
Bake for 10 - 12 minutes (one tray at a time) or until the tops are shiny and cracked, and the cookies have domed slightly.
- 11
Allow to cool on the baking trays for at least 15 - 20 minutes (they will be very soft) before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

About this Recipe
Are you a brownie lover constantly torn between a chewy cookie and a rich, decadent brownie? These Fudgy Brownie Cookies are your ultimate answer, delivering the best of both worlds in one perfect bite.
This recipe stands out by creating a cookie that is genuinely thick and fudgy, not just chocolate-flavored. It perfectly captures that intensely chocolatey brownie taste, complete with the signature shiny, crinkly tops that hint at the incredible texture within. The secret lies in a careful balance of ingredients, ensuring a tender, moist crumb infused with warm vanilla notes.
Prepare for a truly indulgent experience. Each Fudgy Brownie Cookie offers a profound chocolate flavor, thanks to the substantial amount of 60-70% dark chocolate, beautifully complemented by a hint of vanilla. The texture is pure bliss: a soft, dense, and incredibly fudgy interior reminiscent of a gourmet brownie, with just enough chew around the edges. A delicate sprinkle of sea salt on top elevates the entire profile, adding a sophisticated counterpoint to the sweetness. You'll find these surprisingly straightforward to prepare, requiring about 30 minutes of active prep time before a quick 10-minute bake.
While these cookies are perfect as is, you can subtly adjust their character to your preference. Play with the type of dark chocolate, choosing anywhere within the 60-70% cacao range to fine-tune the chocolate intensity. You might also vary the amount of sea salt sprinkled on top, from a light dusting to a more pronounced crystalline crunch, to enhance the overall flavor.
These Fudgy Brownie Cookies are ideal for any occasion that calls for a deeply satisfying chocolate treat, from casual gatherings to elegant dessert spreads. Serve them alongside a cold glass of milk, a hot cup of coffee, or as a stand-alone indulgence.
