If you too are obsessed with brownies, these chocolate brownies are the perfect match for you! They are dense, fudgy, and super chocolatey... everything you want in a brownie but in a cookie shape!
Start by preheating the oven to 350F then line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a small bowl, mix together the flour, cocoa powder, cornstarch baking powder and salt. Set aside.
½ cup all purpose flour, 2 tablespoon cocoa powder, ½ tablespooon cornstarch, ½ teaspoon baking powder, ¼ teaspoon salt
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter and chocolate chips in 30-second intervals. Make sure to stir in between each time. Once fully melted add in the cocoa powder and mix well to combine then set aside.
¼ cup butter, ¾ cup darkchocolate chips
While the butter and chocolate mixture in melting, whisk the room-temperature egg and both the granulated sugar and brown sugar using a stand mixer or a hand mixer. Beat on medium-high speed for 5 minutes or until the mixture is light and airy and has almost doubled in size.
1 large egg, ¼ cup brown sugar, ¼ cup granulated sugar, ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Slowly add the chocolate mixture to the egg mixture and gently fold. Add in the dry ingredients to the wet mixture again and fold using a rubber spatula. Avoid over-mixing, you want to fold in the dry mixture just until it's combined.
Using a small cookie scoop (about 2 tablespoons worth), drop the batter in balls onto the parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches in between each cookie. Bake for 9 minutes.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheet before transferring them to a cooling rack to cool completely!
Notes
