Brownie Cookies, Fudgy Cookies, Desserts, Chocolate (Print Version)

Ingredients:

01 - 1/2 cup (60g) plain/all-purpose flour.
02 - 1/4 cup (25g) cocoa powder.
03 - 1/2 teaspoon baking powder.
04 - 1/4 teaspoon salt.
05 - 7 oz (200g) 60 - 70% dark chocolate, coarsely chopped.
06 - 1/4 cup (56g) unsalted butter.
07 - 2 large eggs, room temperature.
08 - 3/4 cup (150g) light brown sugar.
09 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.

Instructions:

01 - Preheat the oven to 180C/350F/Gas 4. Line 2 large baking trays with parchment paper or a silicone mat, and set aside.
02 - In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
03 - In a microwave-safe bowl, add the chocolate and butter. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring after each one, until melted and smooth. Set aside.
04 - Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, beat together the eggs and sugar until pale, fluffy, and tripled in volume (about 5 minutes).
05 - Add the chocolate mixture and vanilla, whisking until combined.
06 - Fold in the dry ingredients until smooth and combined. The batter will be runny.
07 - Refrigerate for 15 minutes until the batter thickens slightly, resembling thick brownie batter.
08 - Using a medium cookie scoop, divide all the batter onto prepared baking trays.
09 - Bake for 10-12 minutes, one tray at a time, until the tops are shiny, cracked, and slightly domed.
10 - Cool on trays for 15-20 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes:

01 - Scooping all the batter at once ensures shiny, crinkly tops on the cookies.
02 - These cookies are soft and fudgy, with a rich chocolate flavor.
