These easy brownie cookies are the ultimate chocolate treat. They’re delightfully chewy with slightly crispy edges. You won’t be able to stop at just one!

I have to admit that scooping out the dough mixture for Brownie Cookies and placing them on the lined parchment paper is my absolute favorite part of the process. After folding in all ingredients, you’re hit with this wickedly fragrant aroma of hot cocoa and butter that you can’t help but want to lick the scooper- or the bowl, for that matter.

How to Melt Chocolate
Melting chocolate in the microwave is a quick and easy way to prepare chocolate for recipes such as cakes, brownies, or chocolate-covered strawberries. Here’s how to melt chocolate in the microwave:
- Break the chocolate into small pieces: Use a sharp knife to chop the chocolate into small, even-sized pieces. This will help the chocolate melt evenly.
- Place the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl: Choose a microwave-safe bowl that is large enough to hold the chocolate without overflowing.
- Microwave the chocolate: Heat the chocolate in the microwave on high power for 30 seconds. After 30 seconds, remove the bowl from the microwave and stir the chocolate.
- Continue microwaving in 15-second intervals: Place the bowl back in the microwave and heat for an additional 15 seconds. Remove the bowl and stir again. Continue microwaving in 15-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
- Be careful not to overheat: Be careful not to overheat the chocolate as it can burn or seize, which can ruin the texture and flavor. It is better to heat the chocolate in shorter intervals and stir in between, rather than overheating it and risking ruining it.
- Use the melted chocolate immediately: Once the chocolate is melted, use it immediately in your recipe or transfer it to a heatproof container and keep it warm in a warm water bath until ready to use.

How to Reheat Brownie Cookies
If you have leftovers and you want to enjoy that just-from-the-oven taste, wrap the brownies in a moist- not drenched- paper towel before placing them into the microwave for 10 seconds.

Brownie Cookies
Description
These easy brownie cookies are the ultimate chocolate treat. They’re delightfully chewy with slightly crispy edges. You won’t be able to stop at just one!
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- ¼ cup cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 eggs (large)
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 4 oz chocolate (chopped)
- Flakey salt (optional)
Instructions
- Combine the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, and baking powder in a large bowl.
- In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and vegetable oil.
- Add the butter to a small saucepan set over medium heat. Allow it to melt, then add the chocolate and whisk until it is all smooth and melted.
- Slowly whisk the chocolate mixture into the egg mixture (don’t add the chocolate all at once or you’ll scramble the eggs).
- Once all of the chocolate has been added, whisk the wet ingredients until they are fully combined.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and fold them together until fully combined.
- Transfer the mixture to the fridge to chill for 15 minutes.
- While the dough chills, preheat your oven to 375F.
- Once the dough has chilled, scoop the dough out onto a parchment lined baking sheet (I used a ¼ cup cookie scoop to make sure all of the cookies were the same size).
- Press the cookies down slightly to create a disc.
- Bake the cookies for 14-16 minutes, or until the cookies are fully set and crisp around the edges.
- Allow the cookies to cool completely and then transfer them to an airtight container and store at room temperature for up to three days.
