These brownie crinkle cookies are a chewy, fudgy chocolate cookie that resembles the taste and texture of a brownie. They're rich, decadent and incredibly delicious!
Preheat oven to 350 F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
Start by melting the butter and chocolate together in the microwave. I start with 30 seconds and then stir, continue in 15 second intervals until melted.
In a medium mixing bowl, mix together both sugars, eggs and vanilla on high for 3-4 minutes. Fold melted chocolate and butter in.
Whisk in baking powder, salt, flour and cocoa powder.
Scoop into 3 tablespoon sized balls and place on baking sheets, with no more than 8 cookie balls per sheet.
Bake for 10-12 minutes. They will crackle along the top. As soon as you pull them out of the oven sprinkle with flaked salt. Allow to cool.
Notes
I have made these with gluten free flour and they turned out perfect.The dough will seem sticky, but that is how it's supposed to be. I have given both cups and grams as measurements. Grams will be more precise, especially when measuring flour. If you don’t have a kitchen scale, no problem! Just lightly spoon flour into your measuring cup to insure its not packed in there. Light and fluffy is the key.
