INGREDIENTS FOR BROWNIE COOKIES
Let’s walk through the ingredients in brief that are used to make these ultra soft and fudgy eggless cookies with some SUBSTITUTION mentioned for some of the ingredients. These simple brownie cookies call for all the same ingredients you’d need to make homemade brownies with a few exceptions like you’ll need a little less wet ingredients, but you’ll get the exact same fudgy brownie texture with crackly top.
● Flour – The recipe uses whole wheat flour to make it a healthier version. Whole wheat flour can be easily replaced with the same quantity of all purpose flour.
● Cocoa Powder – Like most chocolate desserts need cocoa powder, this recipe also uses cocoa powder. We have used Ossoro Dutch processed cocoa powder, but any high quality, dutch processed cocoa powder will work well!
● Chocolate – In addition to the cocoa powder you’ll also need some baking chocolate. Make sure you’re using a good quality chocolate. It can be semi-sweet, bittersweet or unsweetened dark chocolate. You can also use milk chocolate which is more sweeter compared to other chocolate. If you’re using milk chocolate you will need to reduce the amount of sugar a little bit as the recipe calls for.
● Butter – Room temperature butter works. You can use either unsalted butter or salted butter. If using salted butter you can omit the salt in the recipe.
● Oil – Oil adds moisture and helps in tender cookies.
● Sugar – We have used fine brown sugar to make these brownie cookies. You can refined sugar or a combination of brown sugar and granulated sugar to give you a chewy and perfectly sweet cookie.
● Milk – The recipe uses very little milk to bind the dough as it is an eggless recipe. We recommend using whole milk for extra richness. You can use 1 egg for the recipe if you want to make it with egg. Make sure your egg is at room temperature.
● Baking powder – Baking powder does the work of leavening agent.
● Espresso Powder – Adding espresso powder in chocolate treats enhance and deepens the chocolate flavor. Your cookies will have a deep and rich chocolate flavor. You can use coffee powder if you dont have the espresso powder.
● Vanilla Essence – Used vanilla essence for added flavor. I use vanilla in most of my cookies and cakes as it’s a versatile flavor which goes well with most things.
● Salt – Salt is a key ingredient in sweet treats. It will take your desserts from good to great.
OVERVIEW: HOW TO MAKE BROWNIE COOKIES
The detailed recipe wih ingredients list is given below, but let’s walk through the recipe in brief so you understand each step before you get started.
Start by melting the chopped chocolate and butter using a double boiler method or microwave oven.
To it add in the sugar, cocoa powder, vanilla essence, espresso powder, milk and oil. Whisk to make a smooth mixture. This is your wet ingredients.
Seive in the dry ingredients of flour, baking powder and salt. Combine wet and dry ingredients and form a cookie dough.
Chill the dough for 10-15 minutes. The dough is easy to handle and can even bake straight away. This cookie dough does not require a long chilling time. This quick chill time helps slightly solidify the chocolate and butter in the dough, which gives the cookies a nice spread but not overly spread cookie. Meanwhile preheat the oven and keep the baking tray ready lined with parchment paper or simply grease it nicely if you dont have parchment paper or baking mat.
Lastly just scoop it and bake it. I strongly recommend using a cookie scoop for getting even size and uniform cookies. I used 1 tablespoon measuring spoon to scoop the dough and it got a medium size cookie which was just perfect.
I made a simple recipe video of brownie cookies for my readers which I have shared below. Do watch and please SUBSCRIBE to my channel. It will means a lot to me and motivate me to come up with more videos for my readers. As always looking forward to your feedbacks!

TIPS FOR THE BEST BROWNIE COOKIES
To ensure that every bite of these brownie cookies is as fudgy, chocolatey, and decadent as it should be, we need to follow certain tips and tricks which are as simple as that.
● Do not keep the cookie out for long, once it is scoop into the baking tray, bake them immediately. This will help you in getting glossy, crackly top signature brownie finish.
● Use high quality cocoa powder and chocolate to get a perfect brownie cookie. You’ll need a combination of cocoa powder and real chocolate to make these fudgy chocolate cookies. As with all chocolate desserts, it is recommended to use high quality cocoa or chocolate.
● Do not forget the espresso powder. Espresso powder will enhance and deepen the chocolate flavor.
● Don’t over bake the cookies. Your cookies will look like it’s not fully baked as it will look soft and gooey especially in the middle. Don’t worry about it because the cookies will continue to cook and will firm up as they cool down and you’ll be left with perfectly fudgy and soft cookie.
● These cookies are great with toasted pecans or walnuts. Mix them some into the batter, you’ll love them if you’re a friend of nuts.
CAN I FREEZE COOKIE DOUGH?
Absolutely yes! You can freeze the whole dough in a freezer bag or portion the dough out and roll them into balls. Freeze the balls on a baking sheet then transfer to a freezer bag and freeze them. I prefer the latter method as it is much easier. You will just need to take out the required balls whenever you want it and allow to defrost and bake it. The frozen dough can be kept for up to 4 months.
HOW TO STORE BROWNIE COOKIES
These cookies will stay soft, fudgy and tender in room temperature for atleast 5-6 days depending upon the climatic conditions of the place. It’s best to store them in an airtight container to preserve their flavor and texture. These chocolate brownie cookies can also be freezed in an airtight container or freezer bag for upto 3 months.
