These brownie cookies are the perfect cross between a fudgy decadent chocolate brownie and a crispy chocolate cookie. It’s got the best of both worlds, and it’s gluten-free as a bonus!

Here it comes, another chocolate cookies recipe. If you’ve made those easy scrumptious mini chocolate pudding cakes, or my chocolate banana chocolate chip cake , you’ll know what I mean!

BROWNIE COOKIES

So these loaded chocolate brownie cookies are as decadent as they look and sound. They have a delicate crispy crust on the outside like a cookie. These feature a cracky top like a good brownie, but they also come with a fudge soft inside just like a rich fudgy brownie.

But, hey, these divine chocolate brownie cookies have little flour, and can be made gluten-free! Just too good to be true.

BROWNIE COOKIE RECIPE

 

 

 

This is the kind of cookie dough that will tempt you to it eat raw! Almost like a loaded chocolate ice cream. It starts by beating up the egg with sugar until they’re very light and fluffy, you’ll need an electric mixer or kitchen machine for that.

Ingredients for brownie cookies

And then a mixture of melted butter and chocolate, cocoa powder and flour is added in. If you’re making this gluten free, substitute flour for almond meal. You may make homemade almond meal by processing whole almonds until they are powder.

And finally, chocolate chips and hazelnuts are added in. Feel free to throw some dried cherries or substitute pecans for hazelnuts.

The brownie cookies dough is then scooped in tablespoon sizes and baked.

These addictive brownie cookies spread a little bit during baking so make sure to leave at least half an inch space around each dough before baking.

They only need 10 minutes to bake, but I won’t judge if you tell me those 10 minutes will feel like 10 hours in a chocolate craving moment or impatience land.

This chocolate cookies recipe makes a nice batch of about 10 cookies to cheer you up with a couple of friends on a rainy day. You can easily double or triple the recipe for a bigger batch of cookie goodness.

Store any leftover brownie cookies in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Otherwise, make and enjoy them right away!

They make a perfect homemade gift, ice cream sandwiches, or picnic treat—actually once you make them, you’ll find plenty of excuses and occasions to keep making them again.

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1/3 cups dark or semi-sweet chocolate chunks
  • 1 egg
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup cocoa powder
  • 3 tablespoons flour or almond meal for gluten free option
  • 1/8 teaspoon baking powder
  • pinch of salt
  • 1/3 cup chocolate chips
  • 1/4 cup dried cranberries
  • 1/4 cups roughly chopped hazelnuts

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  2. In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter and chocolate chunks for about 45 seconds and whisk them until they melt and blend together. Add in the cocoa powder, almond meal (or flour) and baking powder, and whisk them well.
  3. In a large bowl, use a hand mixer and whip up the egg with the sugar and vanilla for at least 3 minutes and up to 5 minutes until it’s pale yellow in color and tripled in volume.
  4. Add in the melted chocolate mixture to the egg mixture and gently mix it in being careful not to deflate the egg mixture too much.
  5. Add the chocolate chips, cranberries, hazelnuts and fold them well with a spatula.
  6. Take a small ice cream scoop or tablespoon size spoon and scoop out tablespoon size of cookie dough on to a parchment lined baking sheet. Leave at least half an inch border around each cookie as it will spread.
  7. Bake for 10-12 minutes (depending on the size of your cookie) until the edges are set and cookies have spread and puffed a little. The center will still look soft. Cool them on the baking sheet for 2 minutes and serve warm or cold.
