Description
These Meltaway Brownie Cookies combine the rich, decadent flavor of brownies with the delicate texture of cookies. Packed with semisweet chocolate and optional walnuts, these cookies are irresistibly chewy and rich with every bite.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 2/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips and butter together in 30-second increments, stirring after each, until smooth. Let cool slightly.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
- In a large bowl, beat eggs, sugar, and vanilla until light and fluffy. Stir in the melted chocolate mixture.
- Gradually add the flour mixture and mix until just combined. Fold in the walnuts, if using.
- Drop tablespoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cookies are set. Let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For an extra chocolaty touch, drizzle melted chocolate over the cooled cookies.
- You can substitute walnuts with pecans or leave them out entirely for a nut-free version.
