How to Make Chocolate Brownie Cookies From Scratch
To make a batch of these amazing chocolate cookies, you’ll need to gather the following ingredients. Details, including specific measurements, can be found at the bottom of the page on the recipe card.
butter (gotta love butter!)
chocolate chips (I use semi-sweet)
granulated sugar
eggs
vanilla
baking soda
salt
cocoa powder
all-purpose flour
First, be sure to pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees.
Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, salt and the baking soda, set aside.
Add the butter and the chocolate chips to a microwave safe bowl. Heat until melted, 30 to 60 seconds. Stir in the sugar, eggs and the vanilla until blended.
Stir in the remaining dry ingredients just until combined.
Scoop rounded tablespoons of chocolate cookie batter onto the baking sheet 2 inches apart.
Bake your luscious brownie cookies for 12 minutes.
How to Store Homemade Cookies
These chocolate brownie cookies are nice and chewy. To keep them that way, you’ll want to follow my storage tips.
First, be sure to let the cookies cool to room temperature before storing them.
After that, transfer the cookies to a gallon-size plastic storage bag. To keep the chewy brownie cookies soft, I like to put a slice of bread in the bag with the cookies.
The moisture from the bread some humidity inside the bag that helps keep the moisture locked inside your chocolate brownie cookies.
It’s a tip that I learned from my mom!
I hope you love these wonderful cookies as much as my family has!

Oh my!!! I just made these and they are super easy and turned out exactly like the picture. So, so good!! Perfectly crispy on the outside and soft or chewy on the inside. I will definitely be making these again! If there were a star rating it definitely gets ***** 5 stars from me! Thank you for sharing your recipe, Annie
Annie, I’m so glad that you liked my brownie cookies! Yay!
I will never make brownies in a pan ever again. These brownie cookies are so easy to make. Thank you for the recipe.
Janet, so glad they turned out well for you!
These are fantastic! Just made them for the second time this morning, and my twin sister made them also and loved them. They make up so quickly, and I like how it makes a ‘small’ batch, instead of 4 dozen or so. Timing was perfect with my oven, as well as my sister’s, which is temperamental. Love how they stay soft for the 3 days it takes us to eat them.
Thank you so much for this recipe- it’s a keeper!!
Looks so good. Can these be frozen? I want a chocolate cookie and plan to top with the pecan/coconut frosting used for German chocolate cake. My husbands favorite.
Perfect Valentines cookie! I made these today for my husband’s valentines dessert and have eaten a few with my morning coffee while baking them! I made them gluten free and they came out just fine. Will be keeping this recipe in the “favorite cookie recipe box”!
These are the the best cookies I’ve ever made! They come out exactly like the picture and the chocolate is intense enough to cover the canibutter taste ?
These are SO incredible. The only problem is trying not to eat too much dough before they make it in the oven. Thanks for sharing!
amazing cookies super chewy and delicious! super easy too
