Ingredients

For the Cookies

1 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup packed brown sugar
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup chocolate chips

Instructions

Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Mix the Wet Ingredients

In a large bowl, combine the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Mix until smooth. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, and stir until well combined.

Combine Dry Ingredients

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.

Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.

Scoop and Bake

Using a cookie scoop, drop dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set.

Cool and Enjoy

Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Enjoy your delicious fudgy cookies with a glass of milk or your favorite beverage!

Storing Your Cookies

To keep your Fudgy Chocolate Brownie Cookies fresh, store them in an airtight container at room temperature. They will remain soft and chewy for up to a week, making them a great make-ahead treat. If you want to keep them longer, consider freezing them.

To freeze, place the cooled cookies in a single layer on a baking sheet until firm, then transfer them to a freezer-safe bag. They can be stored in the freezer for up to three months. When you're ready to enjoy them, simply thaw at room temperature or warm them in the microwave for a few seconds.

Serving Suggestions

These cookies are delightful on their own, but you can elevate your serving experience by pairing them with different accompaniments. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delicious brownie sundae, or drizzle with caramel sauce for an extra touch of sweetness.

For a cozy evening, enjoy these cookies with a cup of coffee or a glass of cold milk. The rich chocolate flavor pairs wonderfully with both beverages, making for a perfect snack or dessert while winding down.
