Why You’ll Love This Fudgy Brownie Cookies Recipe

These cookies come together in under 30 minutes and offer a bakery-style experience without leaving your kitchen. The combination of cocoa powder and real chocolate gives them a deep, intense flavor that satisfies any chocolate craving. They’re also freezer-friendly, making them perfect for prepping ahead for parties or gifting.

What Makes a Brownie Cookie So Fudgy?

The secret to that irresistible fudgy texture lies in the chocolate. We use both melted chocolate and cocoa powder for double richness. Slightly underbaking them ensures the centers stay soft and dense, just like a perfect brownie. Letting them rest on the tray for a few minutes after baking also helps them set without drying out.

Ingredients for the Fudgy Brownie Cookies

Every ingredient in these cookies has a role to play in building that rich, fudgy flavor and soft texture. Use quality chocolate and don’t skip the salt — it brings out the best in the cocoa.

• Unsalted butter
• Semi-sweet chocolate chips
• Granulated sugar
• Brown sugar
• Eggs
• Vanilla extract
• All-purpose flour
• Cocoa powder
• Baking powder
• Salt

How To Make the Fudgy Brownie Cookies

Step 1: Melt the Chocolate and Butter

Melt the unsalted butter with the semi-sweet chocolate chips in the microwave or over a double boiler until smooth. Let it cool slightly.

Step 2: Beat the Sugars and Eggs

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until the mixture becomes pale and fluffy.

Step 3: Combine the Wet and Dry

Add the melted chocolate mixture to the egg mixture and stir until well combined. In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Slowly fold the dry ingredients into the wet batter.

Step 4: Scoop and Bake

Use a cookie scoop to place spoonfuls of dough onto a parchment-lined baking tray. Bake at 350°F for 10-11 minutes. The cookies should be puffed and slightly cracked on top.

Step 5: Let Them Set

Let the cookies rest on the baking sheet for 5-10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. This helps them finish setting while staying fudgy inside.

How to Store and Serve These Cookies

These fudgy brownie cookies are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven, but they store beautifully. You can keep them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. To revive that warm, gooey center, pop one in the microwave for about 8 seconds. This recipe yields about 18 cookies, perfect for sharing with family or saving a stash just for you.

For long-term storage, freeze baked cookies in a single layer, then transfer to a bag once solid. Reheat straight from the freezer in a low oven for that fresh-baked feel.
