Chocolate Brownie Cookies
These Chocolate Brownie Cookies are fudgy and chewy with a decadent ganache topping. These are a homemade version of a cosmic brownie, but so much better! A gourmet treat for all those chocolate lovers in your life!
Servings: 12 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups salted butter, softened
- 1 ½ cups light brown sugar, packed
- ¼ cup honey
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 3 ¾ cups all purpose flour
- ½ cup heavy cream
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- sprinkles, nonpareils, candy coated mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F and line two cookie sheets with parchment paper.
- In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment or a large mixing bowl with hand mixer, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar and honey until light and fluffy. This takes about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each egg. Then beat in the vanilla extract.
- Next, add the cocoa powder, baking soda, salt and all purpose flour. Mix on low speed just until everything is fully incorporated.
- Using a scant ½ cup or 3.25 oz ice cream scoop, make 12 cookie dough balls and place 6 on each prepared baking sheet. Roll dough into balls and flatten just slightly with the palm of your hand, but not too much, to resemble a thick hockey puck.
- Bake one pan at a time, in center of oven for 14-16 minutes until the edges are a set and the centers no longer look wet and glossy.
- Let cookies cool on pan for 10 minutes and then transfer to wire rack to cool completely.
- While the cookies are cooling, make the ganache topping. Start by microwaving the heavy cream in a medium size microwave safe dish for 1 minute or until starting to bubble.
- Add the chocolate chips to the hot cream and let sit for 3 minutes so the chocolate chips can melt by the heat of the cream.
- Stir together the cream and chocolate chips until its completely combined and shiny.
- Add about a heaping tablespoon of ganache to the top of each cookie and spread out evenly.
- Top with sprinkles or chocolate chips. Let cookies rest for a couple hours until the ganache is set before storing.
