Brownie cookies – where every bite is a perfect mix of a crackly crust and a fudgy middle.

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup unsalted butter 1 stick
• 8 ounces semi-sweet chocolate, chopped or chocolate chips
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 cup chocolate chips or chunks optional for extra chocolatey cookies

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350F 175C. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the butter and chopped chocolate, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
3. In a large bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract. Gradually pour in the melted chocolate mixture and stir to combine.
4. Sift the flour, cocoa powder, sea salt, and baking powder into the chocolate mixture. Fold the ingredients together until just combined. If youre using additional chocolate chips or chunks, fold them in now.
5. Use a cookie scoop or spoon to drop heaping tablespoons of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
6. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cookies are just set around the edges but still soft in the middle.
7. Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
8. These brownie cookies should come out with crisp edges and fudgy centers, just like a brownie in cookie form! Enjoy them with a glass of milk or a cup of coffee for the ultimate treat.
