Small batch brownie cookie recipe with sea salt

Hello everyone!

It’s finally my birthday month! So, I decided to celebrate with everything chocolate… I even thought of celebrating my birthday everyday this month by indulging in chocolatey things all month long, then I remembered summer is literally right around the corner.

So with that in mind, I decided to go for a small batch cookie recipe with the hopes of not eating too many cookies… It definitely was hard, I can tell you that much.

I succeeded in only having two and sharing the rest with my sister and boyfriend. But I will definitely make these again very soon!

What’s so special about this brownie cookie recipe?

This delicious small batch chocolate brownie cookie recipe is an incredible recipe to add to your cookie repertoire. It has a beautifully cracked top with a dense and fudgy inside. Think of it as your favorite brownie recipe put into a cookie form.

The recipe itself is very easy to make and requires no chilling time, which to me means, I’ll get to have these beauties in less time! So I am all about it.

The small batch recipe is also perfect if you prefer to have fresh cookies instead of 1-2 day old ones. I always gravitate toward the freshly made ones so this small batch brownie cookie recipe is the perfect option.

The small batch aspect will also allow you to not over indulge either, so it’s a win-win situation.

Ingredients for brownie cookies

Here are all the ingredients you will need to make every chocolate lover’s dreams come true! I included affiliate links to some of the product I used.

  • Flour– All purpose flour works perfectly for this recipe.
  • Cocoa powder– Use unsweetened dutch process cocoa powder, it will make these brownie cookies taste amazing!
  • Baking powder– This will help give a little hight to the cookies
  • Salt– You always need a little bit of salt when you bake, it adds an amazing depth to the final product.
  • Butter– The butter will add an incredible richness to this recipe. Unsalted butter is what we will need. If you want to use salted butter omit the pinch of salt that’s in this recipe.
  • Semi sweet chocolate chips– You can use either chocolate chips or chop up your own chocolate before melting.
  • Egg– Make sure the egg is at room temperature.
  • Brown sugar– Any brown sugar works for this recipe
  • Granulated sugar– You will need regular sugar for this recipe too.
  • Vanilla – Aways add vanilla to your chocolate desserts.
  • Sea salt flakes for topping– This is optional but I highly recommend it! Salt and sweet go so well together.

Tips for the best small batch brownie cookie recipe

  • Use good quality cocoa and chocolate – The main thing in these brownie cookies is the chocolate so make sure that you are using great quality chocolate and cocoa powder.
  • Don’t over-bake the cookies –The cookies will look a bit under-baked when it’s time to pull them out of the oven but don’t be scared they will continue baking as you pull them out!

    This very soft chocolate cookie was just what I was looking for! a couple for me and a couple for acouple friends-nice!

    I was afraid it wasn’t going to rise, initially, but came back to find some beauties staring back at me..so don’t fret it it isn’t immediate magic. 🙂

    These will be wonderful w a dollop of whipped cream and a couple berries. My new go to choc cookie base.

    Also, I did try the kosher salt on top, a wee bit. too much- it overpowers the chocolate.

    I didn’t see many comments of people who actually tried these! Not only do they look picture perfect, they came out even better! It was literally like biting into a crispy edged, chewy centered brownie! I don’t know about everyone else but, I’m not a fan of cake like consistency or underdone cookies & brownies. These were perfectly in between!
