What Makes These Brownie Cookies the Ultimate Treat?
What sets this recipe apart is its intensity of flavor and texture. Each cookie is deeply fudgy, with a glossy crackled top—just like the best brownies. Melt-in-your-mouth centers ooze chocolatey goodness, while the crisp edges add perfect contrast. Using simple pantry staples, this recipe transforms humble ingredients into an indulgent chocolate masterpiece that never disappoints.
Preparation Tips for Gooey, Chocolatey Perfection
Achieving that signature fudgy texture is all about technique and timing. Start by melting the chocolate and butter together until silky-smooth—this step is crucial and easily executed with a heatproof bowl and gentle heat. Measure your flour with precision for the correct consistency; using a reliable Amazon Basics Digital Kitchen Scale with LCD Display ensures the perfect fudgy-to-cakey ratio in every cookie.
For clean, fuss-free baking, line your sheet pan with a cut of Reynolds Kitchens Brown Parchment Paper Roll before scooping out the dough. This helps the cookies bake evenly and makes cleanup a breeze.
Scooping and Baking Your Brownie Cookies
Spoon generous mounds of glossy batter onto your prepared baking sheet, leaving space for them to spread. To ensure uniform sizing (for even baking and beautiful presentation), a sturdy cookie scoop or even the standard tablespoon can be used—but investing in a set of proper measuring spoons pays dividends here.
Bake just until the tops are puffed and crackled but the centers aren’t fully set; residual heat will finish them off for a gooey bite. Use a set of KitchenAid Ribbed Soft Silicone Oven Mitt Set to safely transfer your trays from oven to cooling rack.

Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with Reynolds Kitchens Brown Parchment Paper Roll for a nonstick surface and easy cleanup.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate and butter together in short bursts, stirring until smooth (or use a double boiler on the stovetop).
- In a separate bowl, whisk eggs, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until frothy and pale, about 2–3 minutes. For the best results, measure your ingredients precisely with the Amazon Basics Digital Kitchen Scale with LCD Display.
- Slowly whisk the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture until combined.
- Sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture just until no streaks remain. Stir in extra chocolate chips and nuts if using.
- Drop heaping tablespoons of batter onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. For even portions, use a quality scoop or a sturdy tablespoon.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes, until the cookies are glossy, cracked on top, and just set around the edges. Avoid overbaking for maximum fudginess. Remove trays with a KitchenAid Ribbed Soft Silicone Oven Mitt Set and cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
- Store cooled cookies in Rubbermaid Brilliance Food Storage Containers, Set of 5 to maintain their gooey freshness.
