Possible Variations
Mixture can also be made in a stand mixer bowl using a whisk attachment rather than using a hand mixer if that’s what you have (it will begin with the sugar and eggs step). Add a flavoring that pairs well with chocolate such as orange zest or peppermint extract. You can add chocolate chips to the batter (2/3 cup) for even more decadence or finish with a chocolate drizzle. For a sweeter less intensely chocolatey cookie finish with plenty of powdered sugar or you could even top with a frosting. Reduce salt in cookies to an 1/8 tsp then finish each cookie with a pinch of flakey sea salt after baking.
Helpful Tips for the Best Brownie Cookies
Be careful not to burn the chocolate by cooking over a low heat in a double boiler and stir constantly. Another option is to even use the microwave option (heat chocolate and butter in a microwave safe mixing bowl at 50% power in 20 second increments stir between each until melted). Use a cookie scoop if possible for evenly sized more uniform cookies. If you want a nice crinkly finish on the exterior of the cookies bake the dough right away while the whipped eggs are still fluffy. For the best chocolate flavor stick with Dutch cocoa powder here. It is becoming more commonly available at many grocery stores or you can also buy it online.
