Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • ⅓ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • ½ cup coconut oil, melted and cooled
  • ¾ cup dark brown sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla bean paste
  • 1 teaspoon espresso powder or instant coffee, optional

Add-ins and Toppings

  • ¾ cup chocolate chips
  • coarse sea salt, for sprinkling

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) to prepare for baking the cookies evenly.
  2. Mix dry ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together the all purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt thoroughly and set aside to combine the powders.
  3. Beat wet ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, beat the cooled melted coconut oil, dark brown sugar, egg, vanilla bean paste, and espresso powder (if using) until the mixture is creamy and smooth, about 1 to 2 minutes.
  4. Combine wet and dry ingredients: Gradually add the flour mixture into the wet ingredients, mixing until fully combined to create a thick cookie dough.
  5. Fold in chocolate chips: Gently fold the chocolate chips into the dough, distributing them evenly without overmixing.
  6. Shape the cookies: Roll dough into small balls using your hands or a cookie scoop and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment. Flatten each cookie slightly with the palm of your hand to help them bake evenly.
  7. Bake the cookies: Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes. Removing at around 9 minutes yields soft, chewy cookies.
  8. Add sea salt topping: Immediately after baking, sprinkle the cookies with coarse sea salt to enhance the flavor.
  9. Cool the cookies: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes so they set, then transfer them to a wire rack to finish cooling completely.
  10. Serve and enjoy: Once cooled, enjoy your salted brownie cookies as a delicious snack or dessert. This recipe yields about 16 cookies.

Notes

  • Espresso powder is optional but enhances the chocolate flavor.
  • Use melted and cooled coconut oil to ensure proper texture and mixing.
  • Flattening the cookie dough helps the cookies bake with the right chewy consistency.
  • Sprinkling coarse sea salt adds a delightful contrast to the sweet brownie flavor.
  • Do not overbake; remove them at around 9 minutes for soft cookies.
  • For a nut-free treat, ensure chocolate chips are free of cross-contamination.
