Let’s be honest y’all, is there anything better than fudgy brownie cookies with flakey sea salt on the top? I don’t think so!! Try this recipe for the best brownie cookies you’ll ever have and, I promise, you won’t regret it!
Is it just me or is there something special about a stay-at-home baking day? Now that I’m at home all the time because of COVID, it seems like that’s all I’ve been doing haha! Now, that sounds great in theory, but its taken a toll on my figure 🤭. Thankfully, I have a family that eats my baking creations right when I’m done taking pictures of them. These cookies might have taken the record for the fastest to be finished! They were almost all eaten the day of baking!
But, what’s not to like about these bad boys. Chocolaty? Check! Gooey? Check! Delicious?? CHECK! These are an all-around win!!
Why these Brownie Cookies are so good?
There are a few tips that I learned though my experience of baking these that you should know before you start baking yourself.
- Time is of the essence! Once you start mixing all your ingredients, you gotta get those cookies from the mixing bowl, onto the sheet, and into the oven and quickly as humanly possible. The longer your dough sits combined out of the oven, the less of the cool crinkly top you will have.
- SEA SALT!! I don’t think I’ve ever stressed the use of salt in a recipe this much before. I’ve also never baked a cookie, except for maybe chooalte chip ;), in which I thought salt on top was a good idea but for this cookie, it definitely is. The sea salt chunks juxtapose the strong sweetness of the brownie cookie so beautifly! Definatly don’t miss this step! 🙂
AuthorbasilanddillDifficultyBeginnerBegin by heating your oven to 350 degrees farenheight. Pull out your baking sheet and, if necessary, grease it or line with parchment paper. Depending on how large your baking sheet is, you might need to prepare a second one. The cookies have to go into the oven at the same time so plan accordingly ;).
Combine the butter and sugars in a large mixing bowl. Then add the rest of the wet ingredietns. Pay close attention to oyur batter to ensure that your egg whites are completly incorperated with the rest of the mixture. Then, in a separate bowl, put all your dry ingredients through a sifter and whisk them together.
Set the wet and dry ingredients aside and grab a small saucepan. In the saucepan put all the chocolate chips and melt them on the stove at low heat. Make sure to not burn the chocolate by turning your heat on too high. Once the chips are just melted turn the heat off and gather all your parts of the batter together.
This is where the race with the clock begins! Begin by folding in the chocolate into the wet ingredients. Once mostly combined, add in the dry ingredients. Mix until the batter is mostly combined, try not to over mix. Now scoop the cookies onto the baking sheet(s) and pop them into the pre-heated oven for 11-14 minutes. (The amount of time your cookies are in the oven will depend on how gooey you like your cookies.)
Right after you pull the cookies out of the oven, salt them depending on your desired amount of saltiness. (Look at the pictures above as a reference.) Let them cool for at least 15 minutes, then ENJOY!
