Nani's Rich Brookie Cookies
These cookies give you the best of both worlds by swirling fudgy brownie batter into classic chewy chocolate chip cookie dough.
recipesbynani.comThere is nothing better than the combination of a gooey brownie and a soft chocolate chip cookie. I spent a long time getting this recipe just right so that the brownie part stays fudgy while the cookie part keeps its signature chew.
My biggest tip is to make sure your butter is at room temperature before you start. It makes the dough much easier to handle and ensures everything bakes up perfectly in the oven.
🧺 Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 1/4 cups all purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup semi sweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup milk
👩🍳Instructions
- 1
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- 2
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
- 3
Add one egg and one teaspoon of vanilla to the butter mixture, beating well.
- 4
Mix in half of the flour, the baking soda, and the salt to create your basic cookie dough base.
- 5
Scoop out half of the dough and place it in a separate bowl. Fold in the chocolate chips and set aside.
- 6
To the remaining half of the dough, add the cocoa powder, the second egg, the remaining vanilla, the milk, and the rest of the flour to create a thick brownie batter consistency.
- 7
Take a small spoonful of each dough and gently swirl them together in your palm before rolling into a ball.
- 8
Place the balls onto your prepared baking sheet and bake for 10 to 12 minutes until the edges are set but the centers still look soft.
- 9
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for five minutes before moving them to a wire rack.
💡 Tips
Store these cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days to keep them soft. If you want them to taste freshly baked again, pop them in the microwave for ten seconds before serving.
