What You Need To Make This Fudgy Brownie Cookies Recipe?
Dark Chocolate: The shining star of these Fudgy Brownie Cookies is the chocolate. Opt for a chocolate bar, with at least 70% cocoa content. The intense and rich chocolate flavor will create harmony with the sugars and other ingredients.
Butter: It is recommended to use unsalted butter for this recipe. By using butter you have control over the overall saltiness of the cookies. Make sure to chop the butter to ensure even melting.
Sugar: The combination of brown sugar and caster sugar (also known as superfine sugar) adds both moisture and sweetness to the cookies. The brown sugar also lends a caramel note that beautifully complements the chocolate.
Egg: Large eggs play a role in binding all the ingredients ensuring that the cookies maintain their shape and texture.
Vanilla: A teaspoon of vanilla extract enhances the flavor profile of these cookies. For best results choose vanilla extract.
Flour: These cookies rely on plain flour, also known as all-purpose flour as their foundation. It provides structure without compromising on the interior.
Cocoa: Unsweetened cocoa powder infuses these cookies with a cocoa essence. Opt for high-quality cocoa powder to intensify that delightful chocolatey goodness.
Baking powder: Achieving the rise and texture, of cookies relies on a secret ingredient called baking powder. It plays a role in creating the balance between a fudgy center and a slightly crisp outer layer.
Salt: Adding a pinch of salt enhances the flavor profile bringing out the rich taste of chocolate while also counteracting any excessive sweetness, from the sugars.
Steps To Make Fudgy Brownie Cookies:
Step 1: Preheat your oven to 170°C / 340°F. Get two baking trays, with parchment paper.
Step 2: In a bowl that can withstand heat combine the chopped butter and dark chocolate. Heat it up in the microwave for intervals of 1 minute stirring each time until the chocolate is perfectly melted and smooth.
Step 3: Now add the sugar, caster sugar, eggs, and vanilla to the chocolate mixture. Stir everything together until it’s beautifully combined.
Step 4: Next introduce the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Stir again until you have a batter that resembles the brownie mixture.
Step 5: Using spoonfuls of batter drop them onto the trays in rough circular shapes while making sure to leave enough space, for spreading during baking.
Step 6: Place them in the oven. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes until you see gorgeously crackly tops. Once they’re done baking let the cookies rest on the tray for 10 minutes before transferring them onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Tip:
To elevate the richness of your Fudgy Brownie Cookies you may want to think about including a good amount of chocolate chips or chunks, in the cookie dough. These delectable pockets of melted chocolate will bring a delightful element to every mouthful elevating the decadence of your cookies to heights.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Can I use milk chocolate instead of dark chocolate?
Of course! Using milk chocolate instead of dark chocolate is an option. Just keep in mind that it may result in cookies that are sweeter, in taste. The dark chocolate is what adds that cocoa flavor to the cookies.
Why is my batter very runny?
If you find that your batter is too runny there’s a solution. Let it sit for 10 minutes. You’ll notice that it naturally thickens up due to the presence of flour and cocoa powder.
Can I freeze the dough for later baking?
Absolutely! You can freeze the dough for baking. Simply shape the dough into cookie mounds place them on a tray and then store them in an airtight container. When you have a craving for baked cookies just pop them in the oven straight from the freezer. Just remember to add a couple of minutes to the baking time.
