Ingredients

  • 1 cup dark chocolate chips or pieces
  • ½ cup butter unsalted
  • 1 cup sugar granulated
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¾ cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup cocoa powder unsweetened
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup chocolate chips or chocolate chunks
  • flaky sea salt optional

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
  • Add the 1 cup of chocolate and butter to a large microwavable bowl and heat in the microwave until melted and smooth, stirring every 30 seconds.
  • Whisk or stir in the sugar until well combined. Add the eggs, vanilla and stir until smooth. Add flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, salt to the bowl and stir until a smooth brownie-like batter forms.
  • Use a spatula to fold the chocolate chips/chunks into the dough.
  • Use a cookie scoop or spoon to scoop out 2 tbsp of the batter onto the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining dough, leaving space between the cookies to allow them to spread. You may need 2 cookie sheets.
  • Transfer the baking sheet to the oven and bake for about 12 minutes until set, but still soft. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and sprinkle with sea salt, if preferred. They will stiffen up as they cool. Let them cool on the pan for 10-15 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.

Notes

  1. These cookies are amazing at room temperature, cold, or even zapped in the microwave for 30 seconds to melt those chocolate chunks.
  2. If you want to go all out - think of this like a delicious brownie, but in cookie form and try a Brownie cookie sundae! Top your chocolate brownie cookie with a scoop of ice cream, some whipped cream and chocolate sauce, maybe even a little cherry on top!
  3. Your cookies will last about 7 days either stored at room temperature or in the fridge. Make sure to store them in a sealable freezer bag or an airtight container to avoid them from drying out!
  4. If you make a big batch of these and and want to freeze them, make sure they’re fully cooled down to room temperature before popping them in the freezer. Place them in a large freezer bag or airtight container, and they’ll last 4-6 months frozen.
