Fudgy Brownie Cookies combine the rich, dense texture of brownies with the soft, chewy appeal of cookies. These cookies deliver a deliciously chocolatey flavor with a slightly crispy edge and a fudgy center that melts in your mouth. They’re perfect for anyone who loves chocolate, and they make a great treat for any occasion.

Ingredients

1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

3/4 cup granulated sugar

1/2 cup brown sugar, packed

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

1/4 cup milk chocolate chips (optional, for extra richness)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
  2. Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Stir until smooth and combined. Beat in the eggs and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
  3. Add Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  4. Add Chocolate Chips: Stir in the semi-sweet chocolate chips (and milk chocolate chips, if using) until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  5. Scoop the Dough: Use a tablespoon or cookie scoop to portion out the dough into balls. Place them about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
  6. Bake the Cookies: Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still soft. The cookies will firm up as they cool, so don’t overbake them. You want them to stay fudgy in the center.
  7. Cool and Serve: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Add Nuts: For a crunchy twist, add 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts or pecans to the dough for added texture.

Make it Salted: Sprinkle a little flaky sea salt over the top of each cookie before baking for a sweet-and-salty flavor combination.

Double Chocolate: Use chocolate chunks instead of chocolate chips for extra pockets of melted chocolate.

Espresso Brownie Cookies: Add a teaspoon of instant coffee or espresso powder to the dough to enhance the chocolate flavor.
