Make rich, decadent chocolate brownie cookies that are fudgy in the center, chewy on the edges, and feature a signature crackly top. This recipe is quick and delivers intense chocolate flavor.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup (100g) packed light brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup (90g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup (45g) unsweetened cocoa powder, natural or Dutch-process
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 4 ounces (113g) bittersweet chocolate, chopped or chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk the melted butter with the granulated sugar and brown sugar until fully combined.
  3. Whisk in the eggs one at a time until the mixture is smooth. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed or by hand until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Fold in the chopped bittersweet chocolate.
  7. Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each mound.
  8. Bake for 10 to 13 minutes. The edges should look set, but the centers will still look slightly soft and shiny.
  9. Remove from the oven. Immediately tap the baking sheets firmly against the counter once or twice to help the tops crackle.
  10. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For the best crackly top, ensure your eggs are at room temperature before mixing.
  • Chilling the dough for 30 minutes before baking can help prevent excessive spreading, resulting in thicker cookies.
  • Use high-quality cocoa powder for the deepest chocolate taste.
