You guys might curse me or love me for this recipe, but you have to try it. Really…I mean, it’s Friday after all! Who doesn’t need a little brownie-turned-cookie lovin’?! You and these cookies can have your own special happy hour…I won’t judge.
There’s really not much to say about these because I think the name of the recipe kind of does all the talking itself. You have brownie batter. You have chocolate chips. But oh wait! You just turned them into cookies! Now they’re portable, single-serving (and yes, the whole batch counts as a single serving), little nuggets of brownie goodness, and they’re all yours. What could be better?
For the dry ingredients I used my favorite cocoa brownie recipe, and then added some different wet ingredients so that they would have a cookie consistency when they were done. The key to this recipe though, especially if you live at high altitude, is to fully chill the dough first. It keeps them from spreading too much and you end up with a crisp cookie outside and a brownie-like center. Again, what could be better?!
BROWNIE BATTER CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES
- 1 2/3 cup sugar
- 1 1/3 cup + 3 Tbsp all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup baking cocoa
- 1 tsp baking powder
- pinch of salt
- 4 Tbsp butter, softened
- 1/4 cup canola oil
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
In a large bowl, cream together the butter, oil, and sugar. Add the eggs and mix well. Add the dry ingredients, and mix until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips (you could also add nuts too if you like). Cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, but an hour is preferable. Spoon the mixture into 2-Tbsp cookies and roll into a ball. Place on a sheet pan lined with parchment or a Silpat. Using the bottom of a glass, wet it and dip in sugar, then gently press down on the cookies just until they are a little flat on top. Bake at 350 for 8-10 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes and remove to a cooling rack.
Like I said, so easy, so delicious, and you guys are either cursing me or singing my praises…
Muahahahaha…
Happy Friday!
I read the title and gasped before I even saw any of the pictures. This is my dream come true. BROWNIES + COOKIES = Love 4 Eva. 😉
Those look great! I’ve been looking for a dessert for our anniversary dinner, perhaps this is it 🙂
Heather you are so bad!!! These cookies look amazing 🙂 Now a challenge…make it gluten free!
Oh my gosh! Those look like the best cookies!
Oh my! I’m cursing, but only because I just made cookies and now I want to make these! 🙂
Those look fabulous! I think I just went into a sugar coma.
Yum! These look so amazing!
Sounds yummy…happy weekend!
Making these for game night tonight. Er… but maybe I just wait until it’s closer to when the festivities start or else I’m pretty sure I’m going to dive in and devour them, despite the gluten intolerance…
So wishing that I had these for breakfast this morning! I will have to make do with a smoothie or something equally as unexciting! 🙂
These look perfect, too good!
Brownies and cookies! Genius! 🙂
Oh my JESUS those sound amazing!
Mmmm chocolatey sinful deliciousness!!!
I would be popping a minimum of five of these in my mouth at one sitting. Evil – in a good way.
I have to try these, they look and sound perfect!
YUM!!!!!!! These sound soooo so good!!!!
These look INCREDIBLE!
Chocolate chips… and brownie batter… in a cookie?!
LOVE!
😉
DIVINE!!! I need these in my life!
mmmmmmm 🙂 those look bomb!!!
They look great. Too great. Can’t make them though. Not unless I’m training for a 1/2 marathon or something…which I’m not. EVIL EVIL!
Love! And these are the types of ingredients people always have on-hand. Happy Friday Heather!!
These look delicious!
I’m singing your praises for sure!
Brownie batter never makes it to the oven in our house. Straight to my belly!
I have a feeling I’ll be thanking you when I try them and cursing you when I attempt to put my jeans on. 🙂
Pretty sure I love you for it. I loved you already, of course…but now I just love you even more.
Oh wow! I might have to make these for my husband tonight using Xyilitol or Sucanat. I’m sure I’ll eat one (or five), too! 🙂
Be still my beating heart…
Oh I would eat that whole batch!!!
I’m definitely making them this week!
Eating just one of these brownie batter cookies could never happen, they sound way too good! Thanks for a delish cookie recipe 🙂
These look amazing!!! Afraid to make them, though, because I SO would eat the entire batch!
You and your evil laughter… and evil recipes! I love the sound of the crisp cookie outside and soft brownie inside — the best of all worlds! Too tempting…!
Whoops…Saturday night. Gosh…I HOPE it’s not tonight, ha!
Soooo…I might need to make these for our dinner party on Friday night.
Yum!! These look amazing, and super easy to make 🙂
