Ingredients
Scale
Wet Ingredients
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients
- ⅓ cup cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
Add-ins
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Optional
- Powdered sugar (for dusting)
Instructions
- Prepare the Dough: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper. In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter and sugar until smooth. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, continuing to whisk until fully combined.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: Sift in the cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Stir the mixture until it is smooth. Gradually add the flour, mixing until you have formed a thick batter. Carefully fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips.
- Shape the Cookies: Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded balls of dough onto the lined baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for slight spreading.
- Bake the Cookies: Place the baking sheets in the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, until the cookie edges are set but the centers remain slightly underbaked for that meltaway texture. Once baked, let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Serve: Dust the cooled cookies with powdered sugar if desired to add an extra touch of sweetness. Enjoy your meltaway brownie cookies fresh for the best texture and flavor.
Notes
- Do not overbake the cookies to maintain their soft, fudgy centers.
- Spacing the cookies properly ensures they bake evenly without merging.
- For easier dough handling, chill the dough briefly before scooping if it feels too sticky.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
