How to Make Brownie Cookies

- Let the cookies cool completely before serving.
While you can use any unsweetened cocoa powder you prefer, I like to use Dutch-process cocoa powder here because there isn’t any baking soda to neutralize the acidity of natural cocoa powder.
At room temperature, these delicious cookies will stay fresh for up to 3 days. If you want them to last a bit longer, they’ll keep fresh in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. No matter where you choose to store them, make sure to keep these cookies in an airtight baggie or container! They will quickly lose their crunchy texture and become stale if not kept correctly.
Yes, you sure can! These cookies will stay fresh in the freezer (in an airtight container) for up to 3 months. When you’re ready to serve them, just let them thaw out at room temperature for a few hours, and they should be good as new.
As you can see in my photos, I love a sprinkle of flaky sea salt on top of my brownie cookies. Salty and sweet is just hard to beat! However, you could also garnish them with powdered sugar or a drizzle of caramel sauce! If it’s around a specific holiday, you could always use themed sprinkles as well.
Recipe Tips and Tricks
- When these cookies are first pulled out of the oven, they might appear puffy and not like my photos. That’s to be expected! Just make sure you allow them to cool completely, and you’ll see them settle into the desired shape and texture.
- Don’t over mix the batter. Once the batter forms and it’s smooth, there’s no need to keep mixing. If you continue to mix it too much, the texture could be ruined when they bake.
- Along with the batter, the egg and sugar mixture really can’t be mixed for too long, or not long enough! 5 minutes is the perfect time for the mixture to be whisked in order to achieve the desired consistency of these crinkle cookies.
Next time you have that chocolate craving that just won’t go away, treat yourself with these delectable brownie cookies. They’re chewy, chocolatey, and absolutely dreamy. These cookies are sure to satisfy your sweet tooth every time!

I have never seen caster sugar in my local grocery stores. Where can you
get it? I have heard that you can process regular sugar to mimic caster sugar. Will that work?
Yes you can put regular sugar in a food processor and that should do the trick!
