Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 2 cups sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chocolate chips
How to Make Brownie Cookie Recipe
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This is an essential step to ensure even baking.
Step 2: Melt the Butter
In a large bowl, melt the butter and mix in the sugar until it’s nice and smooth. The aroma of melted butter and sugar is already comforting!
Step 3: Add the Eggs and Vanilla
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Afterward, stir in the vanilla extract for that warm, inviting flavor.
Step 4: Combine the Dry Ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. This helps ensure even distribution of the cocoa and prevents any lumps.
Step 5: Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Mix until just combined; be careful not to overmix to keep those brownies chewy!
Step 6: Fold in the Chocolate Chips
Gently fold in the chocolate chips until they are evenly distributed in the dough. Who can resist extra chocolate?
Step 7: Scoop the Dough
Using a spoon, drop spoonfuls of dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving some space between each cookie.
Step 8: Bake the Cookies
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are firm. The center should look slightly underbaked for that delicious brownie texture.
Step 9: Cool Down
Let the cookies cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack. This allows them to set perfectly.
Tips & Variations
- For extra flavor, try adding a pinch of espresso powder to enhance the chocolate.
- If you prefer a nutty flavor, fold in some chopped walnuts or pecans along with the chocolate chips.
- These cookies can be served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delectable dessert!
- For a gluten-free version, substitute all-purpose flour with a gluten-free baking blend.
Delicious Variations
- Chocolate Chip Cookies: Classic and always a hit!
- Brownies: Go for a traditional brownie recipe when you want something a bit denser.
- Fudge Cookies: Indulge in fudge-filled cookies for a chocolate overload!
- Snickerdoodles: These cinnamon-sugar delights are fun to make and equally addictive.

The best way to serve these Brownie Cookies is warm, straight from the oven or just slightly cooled! Pair them with a glass of cold milk or a hot cup of coffee to balance the rich sweetness.
