Fudgy Chocolate Brownie Cookies are everything you love about a rich, crackly-topped brownie baked into a handheld cookie: shiny tops, chewy edges, and ultra-fudgy centers packed with real chocolate. This style of cookie uses melted chocolate, whipped eggs and sugar, and just enough flour and cocoa to hold everything together, giving you that classic brownie texture in cookie form.
Why you’ll love these brownie cookies
These cookies are designed for serious chocolate lovers and are perfect when you want something more intense than a standard chocolate chip cookie. The method—melting real chocolate, whipping eggs and sugar, and baking just until set—follows the same principles used in bakery-style brownie cookie recipes that promise shiny, crackly tops and fudgy insides.
- Shiny, crackled tops from whipping eggs and sugar to a thick, pale ribbon before adding chocolate.
- Deep, fudgy centers from using a generous amount of melted semisweet chocolate and a relatively small amount of flour.
- Extra chocolate chips folded in at the end for pockets of melted chocolate in every bite.
- No chill required if your batter is thick enough, but you can briefly chill if needed to make scooping easier and control spread.
