These 20-Minute Fudgy Chocolate Brownie Cookies deliver the rich, gooey indulgence of brownies in a convenient cookie form, featuring deep chocolate flavor, chewy texture, and signature crackly tops—all made without chilling the dough.

Ingredients

1/4 cup (56.75 g) unsalted butter

4 ounces (113.4 g) semi-sweet chocolate

2 large eggs

1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup (125 g) all-purpose flour

1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

3 tablespoons cocoa powder

1/8 teaspoon baking soda

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Melt the butter and chocolate together in a microwave-safe bowl, heating in 30-second intervals until fully melted. Allow to cool for 5 minutes.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, sugar, and vanilla extract on high speed for 3–5 minutes until the mixture is light and airy.
  4. Add the cooled chocolate and butter mixture to the egg mixture, mixing until well combined.
  5. Sift in the flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking soda. Stir until just combined; the batter will be loose and brownie-like in consistency.
  6. Using a mini ice cream scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded scoops of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  7. Bake for 10 minutes, or until the tops are crinkled and the edges are set.
  8. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Add chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or dried fruits into the batter for added texture and flavor.
  • Mix in 1/2 teaspoon of espresso powder to intensify the chocolate taste.
  • For a Cosmic Brownie style, top each cookie with melted chocolate and rainbow sprinkles after baking.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
  • Freeze baked cookies in a single layer, then transfer to a freezer-safe container for up to 2 months.
  • Reheat frozen cookies in a 350°F (175°C) oven for 5–7 minutes to restore fudgy texture.
