Brownie Batter Cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup butter, softened, (2 sticks)
- 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 ounce unsweetened baking chocolate, melted (you can also just use 1 ounce of chocolate chips if you don't have this)
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 3 large eggs, at room temperature
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 1/4 teaspoons salt
- 1 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
Equipment
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a stand mixer with the beater blade attachment (or just a hand mixer), beat the butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, melted chocolate, and vanilla until smooth. Add the eggs and mix until combined.
- In a separate bowl, add the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt; use a fork to mix together. Slowly add the flour mixture to the wet mixture and mix until combined. Fold in the chocolate chips. The dough will be wet.
- Use a cookie scooper to place dough, about 1½ tablespoon balls onto the prepared baking sheet, about 2 inches apart. Bake for 9-11 minutes or until cookies are not glossy anymore. Do not overbake! The difference between an amazing cookie and a mediocre one is if it is baked correctly. I like to press extra chocolate chips on top of the cookie right after they come out and sprinkle with a little flaked salt. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet, then transfer to a cooling rack.
