When I made this recipe, I was inspired by my Small Batch Brownie Cookie Recipe because I have never had a better chocolate brownie cookie in my life!

Really good. Should they be super doughy / fudgey in the middle? Worried I underbaked, but followed instructions to a tee.
Crumbl is known for partially underbaked cookies to give them their uniquely soft texture so that’s what I tried to emulate. It should be safe to eat, but if it feels worrisome then you can bake for a bit longer.
