Fudgy Chocolate Brownie Cookies
Description
Fudgy Chocolate Brownie Cookies bring together cocoa powder, sugar, melted butter, and vegetable oil to create a chocolate base that stays moist and tender. The dough includes baking powder and salt to balance and improve texture while semi-sweet chocolate chips distributed throughout the batter provide a melty chocolate contrast when baked. After baking for 10-12 minutes at 350°F, the cookies should be slightly soft in the middle; cooling on the baking sheet helps them set without drying out. The distinctive preparation involves scooping dough by tablespoons and pressing it down before baking, which shapes their brownie-like chewiness.
The flavor is intensely chocolatey with subtle vanilla notes, and the texture is soft yet structured, making these cookies satisfying as a snack or dessert. They pair well with a glass of milk or coffee. Careful baking ensures a moist interior while avoiding a dry, crumbly finish.
To retain the fudgy texture, remove the cookies from the oven when the center still yields slightly to touch and let them cool on the sheet. Overbaking causes the edges and center to become too dry, so monitoring baking time is important.
Ingredients
- ½ cup cocoa powder unsweetened
- 1 cup granulated sugar white
- ½ cup butter melted
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 egg
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract pure
- 1 ⅓ cups all-purpose flour or plain flour
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ⅓ cup semi sweet chocolate chips add more if desired
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line 2 cookie sheets or baking trays with parchment paper (baking paper).
- In a medium-sized bowl, mix together the cocoa powder, white sugar, butter and vegetable oil. Beat in egg and vanilla until fully incorporated.
- Add the flour, baking powder, and salt; stir the dry ingredients first before mixing them through the wet ingredients until a dough forms (do not over beat). Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Scoop out 1-2 tablespoonful of dough with a cookie scoop (or small ice cream scoop), and place onto prepared baking sheets. Press them down as thick or thin as you want your cookies to come out.
- Bake in hot preheated oven for 10-12 minutes. The cookies will come out soft from the oven but will harden up as they cool. (Be careful not to over bake as they will dry out.)
- Allow to cool on the cookie sheet for 10 minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool.
Notes
- Remove cookies from the oven while they remain slightly soft in the center to keep a gooey, fudgy texture.
- Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet before transferring to ensure they firm up properly without drying out.
- Press dough thickness before baking to adjust cookie texture and size according to preference.
