Description

Fudgy brownie and chewy cookie hybrid—rich chocolate, crisp edges, and gooey centers in every bite.


Ingredients

  • 1 cup (225 g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 cups (400 g) granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  •  cups (150 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup (85 g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 cup (175 g) chocolate chips or chunks


Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 °F (175 °C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk melted butter and sugar until combined.
  3. Add eggs, one at a time, whisking after each until smooth. Stir in vanilla.
  4. In another bowl, sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Gradually fold dry ingredients into wet mixture until no streaks remain.
  6. Fold in chocolate chips.
  7. Drop dough by heaping tablespoons onto prepared sheets, spacing 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake for 10–12 minutes, until edges are set but centers still soft.
  9. Cool on pan 5 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.

Notes

  • For extra fudginess, underbake slightly—the center should look a touch underdone.
  • Chill dough 30 minutes before baking for thicker cookies.
  • Swap half the chocolate chips for chopped nuts if desired.
  • Store in airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
