Brownie Chunk Cookies
These delightful treats feature a soft cookie base with generous pieces of baked brownie inside, offering the best of both worlds: a rich, fudgy brownie combined with a classic cookie.
Ingredients
- 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- ¾ cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 ½ cups pre-baked brownie pieces, chopped
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- 1. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and both types of sugar until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
- 2. Beat in the two large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
- 3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt until thoroughly combined.
- 4. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture. Mix on low speed until just combined, being careful not to overmix the dough.
- 5. Gently fold in the pre-baked brownie pieces and chocolate chips, distributing them evenly throughout the mixture.
- 6. Drop rounded tablespoons of the dough onto parchment-lined baking sheets, leaving adequate space between each portion.
- 7. Place the sheets in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C). Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are slightly soft.
- 8. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
