Brownie Crinkle Cookies

Brooke Homec
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!

Ingredients
 

Brownie:

  • ½ cup (113.5 g) salted butter
  • 1 cup (180 g) dark or semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • ¾ cup (150 g) granulated sugar
  • ½ cup (110 g) brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs + 1 egg yolk room temp
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla
  • ¼ cup (21.5 g) cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon (0.5 teaspoon) salt
  • cups (170 g) all-purpose flour
  • flaked sea salt for topping if desired.

Instructions
 

  • 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.
