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.

Frequently Asked Questions:
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.
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.
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.
