Brownie cookies are everything that’s great about both brownies AND cookies. Cute little individual confections? Check. Incredible range of texture, from the shiny, craggy shell to fudgy interior? Check. Intense chocolate flavor? Double check. This brownie cookie recipe has it all.
I made this brownie cookie recipe from I Heart Eating for this week’s Try It Friday feature, where I bake up something delicious from around the web, and then share my experiences with the recipe.
I’ve made brownies before, I’ve made plenty of cookies before, but I’ve somehow never made brownie cookies. It was definitely well past time to give it a go.
Brownie Cookie Ingredients
- bittersweet chocolate chips
- butter
- eggs
- sugar
- brown sugar
- vanilla
- baking powder
- salt
- flour
- cocoa powder
- semisweet chocolate chips
The recipe is very much like my favorite brownie recipe, actually, and rather than creaming the butter and the sugars, the butter gets melted with the bittersweet chocolate.
Kate from I Heart Eating instead instructs you to cream the eggs and the sugars together, for five whole minutes. I followed her instructions to the letter (with a timer and everything–I want to give you an accurate review of the recipe), and the texture did really change as I beat the ingredients for the specified amount of time. I didn’t try another batch skimping on the beating time, but I suspect Kate is right when she says this step is critical to getting the right texture for the cookies.
Look at that luscious brownie cookie batter! Refrigerate for 30 minutes at this stage.
Scoop out the chilled brownie cookie batter on parchment lined baking sheets.
Bake for 8-10 minutes at 350 degrees Fahrenheit. DO NOT OVERBAKE, or you’ll bake the delicious, fudgy, luxurious texture right out of these cookies. I’m sure they’d still be quiet tasty, but not magical in the same way that these cookies are.
What Would I Change in this Brownie Cookie Recipe?
Nothing. Nada. This recipe is brownie cookie perfection. I often tweak recipes every so slightly to suit by particular preferences and sometimes science, but this brownie cookie recipe is just right, just as I Heart Eating wrote it.
So be sure to head over to get the full recipe at I Heart Eating, and make all the brownie AND chocolate cookie lovers in your life rejoice!
