Description
This recipe delivers best brownie cookies 35% faster than traditional brownies, which typically require 30+ minutes of baking plus extended cooling time. Perfect for when chocolate cravings hit and you need satisfaction quickly!
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 ounces high-quality semi-sweet chocolate (chopped) or chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- ⅔ cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (for mixing in)
- Optional: ½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans
Instructions
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt chopped chocolate and butter in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth. Let cool slightly.
- In a large bowl, beat eggs and sugar on medium-high speed for 3–4 minutes until pale and tripled in volume. Add vanilla and mix to combine.
- Fold the cooled chocolate mixture into the egg mixture until mostly combined. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually fold into the wet mixture until just incorporated.
- Stir in chocolate chips and nuts (if using). Cover and refrigerate the batter for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper. Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough onto sheets, spacing 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes, until tops are shiny and crackled but centers look slightly underdone. Do not overbake.
- Let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Use the best quality chocolate for the richest flavor. Chill the dough for perfect fudgy texture and watch the baking time closely to avoid overbaking.
