It smells like delicious brownies in your kitchen, but you can’t find any – what happened? Well. To solve this riddle, you don’t have to be Sherlock Holmes. It’s actually very simple: Brownie Cookies. They smell like the real thing but do look nothing like it…

There was one main reason why I started my Cookie Friday: Having something sweet (quick and easy made) for the weekend. Easy as that. I need some sweets when I am at home – it does not have to be something big or fancy – chocolate is fine or a homemade cookie. Like these Brownie Cookies for example. I wished you could smell them – they are awesome!

The dough for these cookies is done in no time – perfect if you are an impatient chocoholic. If you like, you can add some nuts to the dough or sprinkle them on top of the cookies. Just make sure you do not overbake the cookies.

Just like with brownies, these cookies should be baked only as long as absolutely necessary. So, after the 14 minutes are up, check how the cookies look. If they’re still soft but a toothpick comes out clean, take them out immediately. Any extra minute would dry them out, and we don’t want that.

If you like, you can also add a little extra (chopped) chocolate to the dough. Using a bit more chocolate when baking never hurts, right? Just be careful with the toothpick test in that case. If you happen to poke into a spot with melted chocolate, it might look like the cookies aren’t done yet. So, it’s better to check in a few different spots. Sure, the cookie might end up with several holes in it, but the first cookie is for the baker anyway and has to be tasted right away…

DIRECTIONS / ZUBEREITUNG

  • English
  • Deutsch

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a baking sheet with baking parchment and set aside. Melt the chocolate in the microwave or in a bowl over a pot with simmering water, and let it cool down again.

2. Mix the flour with baking powder and salt. In a large bowl mix the butter and sugar until well combined. Add the egg and vanilla extract and mix until well combined. Add the melted chocolate and mix until combined. Finally, add the flour mixture and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.

3. Use a spoon or cookie scoop* and place about ten portions of dough on the baking sheet – leave enough space in between. Bake the cookies for about 14-16 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of a cookie comes out clean. Take out of the oven and let cool down on a wire rack.

1. Den Ofen auf 180°C (350°F) Ober-/Unterhitze vorheizen. Ein Backblech mit Backpapier auslegen und zur Seite stellen. Die Schokolade in der Mikrowelle oder in einer Schüssel über einem Topf mit köchelndem Wasser vorsichtig schmelzen. Etwas abkühlen lassen.

2. Das Mehl mit Backpulver und Salz vermischen. Die Butter mit dem Zucker in einer großen Schüssel aufschlagen. Das Ei und den Vanille Extrakt zugeben und alles gut verrühren. Die geschmolzene und abgekühlte Schokolade zugeben und unterrühren. Die Mehlmischung zugeben und nur kurz unterrühren.

3. Mit einem Löffel oder Cookie Scoop* (Eisportionierer) etwa zehn Portionen Teig mit genügend Abstand zueinander auf dem Backblech platzieren. Das Blech in den Ofen schieben und die Cookies dann für etwa 14-16 Minuten backen. Mit einem Zahnstocher testen, ob noch Teig kleben bleibt, und die Cookies erst herausnehmen, wenn der Zahnstocher sauber herauskommt. Aus dem Ofen holen und auf einem Kuchengitter abkühlen lassen.

      Hi,

      they tend to spread a lot. You can add slightly more flour to the dough, that should help a bit.
      For other cookie recipes I would suggest to place the dough in the fridge for some time, but here i am not sure if that changes the texture a lot :/

      Cheers,
      Marc

About me


Hi, my name is Marc. I’m a graphic designer.
I love my job, but in between I love to bake and try new things in the kitchen. A lot of my friends and colleagues encourage me to bake – for a very simple reason: they get the leftovers – and it seems they like it most of the time.
