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 :P
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 :P 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 over-bake the cookies. They should be quite soft, but a toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean. So take a look after 14 minutes and check. If you bake them too long, they get dry. Nobody wants that.
So are you preparing your bowl and ingredients already? Happy Cookie Friday!
INGREDIENTS / ZUTATEN
4 oz. (120g) semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
1/4 cup (30g) all-purpose flour
1/8 tsp. baking powder
pinch of salt
2 tbsp. butter
1/3 cup (70g) brown sugar
1 large egg
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
120g Zartbitterschokolade, gehackt
30g Mehl (Type 405)
1/8 TL Backpulver
Prise Salz
2 EL Butter
70g brauner Zucker
1 Ei (L)
1/2 TL Vanille Extrakt
DIRECTIONS / ZUBEREITUNG
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 extrakt and mix until well combined. Add the melted chocolate and mix until combined. Add the flour mixture and mix until just combined – do not overmix.
3. Use a spoon or cookie scoop and place about 10 portions of dough on the baking sheet – leave enough space inbetween. Bake for 14-16 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Take out of the oven and let cool down on a wire rack.
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 Eisportionierer etwa 10 Portionen Teig mit genügend Abstand zueinander auf dem Backblech platzieren. Das Blech in den Ofen schieben und dann für 14-16 Minuten backen – mit einem Zahnstocher testen, ob noch Teig kleben bleibt und erst herausnehmen, wenn der Zahnstocher sauber herauskommt. Aus dem Ofen nehmen und auf einem Kuchengitter abkühlen lassen.

Wow, Das ist ganz toll. Ich habe diese cookies probieret und habe es wunderschöne gefunded.
but my cookie spread and become so thin… i don’t know the reason.
sorry for my bad deutsch i am following you from Egypt
Viel glück
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
