Why Make This Recipe

Fudgy Brownie Cookies are a delightful treat that combines the best of both worlds—brownies and cookies. They are rich, chocolatey, and chewy, making them perfect for anyone who loves chocolate. These cookies are easy to make and require simple ingredients that you likely already have at home. Plus, they bake quickly, allowing you to satisfy your sweet tooth in no time!

How to Make Fudgy Brownie Cookies

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • ¾ cup brown sugar
  • ½ cup unsalted butter
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Directions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and a pinch of salt.
  3. In another bowl, melt the butter. Once melted, mix it with the eggs and vanilla until well combined.
  4. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir until just blended and avoid overmixing.
  5. Fold in the chocolate chips until they are evenly distributed in the dough.
  6. Scoop tablespoon-sized balls onto the prepared baking sheets and bake for 10-12 minutes. The edges should be set, while the centers remain soft.

How to Serve Fudgy Brownie Cookies

These cookies are best enjoyed warm right out of the oven. Serve them on a plate with a glass of milk for dipping or pair them with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an indulgent dessert. They also make for a great snack at any time of the day!

How to Store Fudgy Brownie Cookies

To keep your Fudgy Brownie Cookies fresh, store them in an airtight container at room temperature. They will stay good for up to a week. If you want to keep them longer, you can also freeze them in a sealed bag. Just make sure to let them thaw before enjoying!

Tips to Make Fudgy Brownie Cookies

  • Make sure your butter is melted but not too hot when mixing it with the eggs to avoid cooking them.
  • For extra fudgy cookies, you can add a little more chocolate chips or reduce the amount of flour slightly.
  • If you prefer a nuttier flavor, consider folding in some chopped walnuts or pecans.

Variation

You can switch things up by adding a pinch of sea salt on top of the cookies before baking, or try using white chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet ones. Another fun variation is to mix in dried fruits like cranberries or cherries for a sweet and fruity twist.

FAQs

Can I use different types of sugar?
Yes, you can experiment with different sugars. Using coconut sugar can give the cookies a deeper flavor.

What if I don’t have cocoa powder?
You can use unsweetened chocolate instead. Just melt it down and adjust the amount of sugar to balance the sweetness.

How do I know when the cookies are done?
The edges of the cookies should look set while the centers will be soft. They will firm up as they cool, so don’t worry if they seem a little underbaked!

Hi, I’m Olivia Carter. I’m 41 years old, born in Nashville, Tennessee, and now living in Denver, Colorado, where the mountains are as much a part of my inspiration as the markets I shop from. My kitchen is my safe place it smells of herbs, wood smoke, and sometimes just-baked bread cooling on the counter.

I didn’t grow up with professional chefs around me just hardworking parents and a grandmother who believed that love always started with a pot on the stove. She taught me how to make biscuits without a recipe, how to know when cornbread is ready just by the sound it makes, and how to never waste a single vegetable from the garden. Those lessons stuck with me more than anything I ever read in a cookbook.

My path here wasn’t simple. I started as a server, sneaking glances into the kitchen whenever I could. Eventually, I found myself behind the line, sweating through long shifts, burning my fingers, and learning faster than I thought possible. Later, I studied culinary arts in New York, but I’ve always said the best training came from real kitchens, real mistakes, and real people who pushed me to keep going.

Today, my cooking is rooted in Southern tradition but shaped by everywhere I’ve traveled and everything I’ve tasted. I love the balance of smoky barbecue with bright citrus, the sweetness of honey paired with a kick of chili, and the way fresh herbs can lift even the simplest dish. Food, to me, is about contrast it should surprise you while still feeling like home.

I cook for people who want food that tells a story. I believe meals should connect us to memory, to family, to joy. It’s not about perfection or fancy plating it’s about sitting down, taking a bite, and feeling something.

If you’ve ever laughed around a messy kitchen table, licked barbecue sauce off your fingers, or found comfort in a bowl of soup on a hard day, then you already understand what my cooking is about. Welcome I can’t wait to share it with you.
