    Be prepared for this Chocolate Brownie Cookie recipe to forever alter your life! Maybe a bit dramatic but this features everything you love about a brownie but in cookie form!

    Chocolate brownie cookies are soft, rich and have the most tender texture. I love these because they are super easy and quick to make and they taste so yummy.

    Chocolate Brownie Cookies

    The best part of brownies like the crinkly top, chewy center, crispy edges and the chocolatey goodness are ever present in these cookies. It is the best of both worlds and so easy to make as well. 

    Make sure you line your baking sheets with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. These cookies tend to stick, so for easy clean up prep those pans. 

    I love these cookies for a fun after school snack or for a quick dessert. Since these are so simple to make, your kids will love to help out with these delicious cookies too.

    Recipe Instructions

    1. Microwave chocolate chips and butter.

    4. Add the eggs and vanilla and beat until light and fluffy.

    Frequently Asked Questions:

    Do chocolate brownie cookies need to be chilled?

    I like to chill these cookies in the refrigerator for a quick 30 minutes if you have the time. This will eliminate the spread and will solidify them better. Worth the extra time. 

    How do I know when chocolate brownie cookies are done baking?

    You will know when the cookies are done baking because they will start to look shiny on top and begin to crinkle. Allow them to cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet before transferring them to a cooling rack. 

    Should I use salted or unsalted butter when making cookies?

    Professional bakers usually use unsalted butter because you can more easily control the salt content going into the cookie. If a recipe doesn’t specifically say which type of butter it is implied that you use unsalted.
