Fudgy Brownie Cookies Recipes

Steps:

• Arrange a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Spray a 13-by-9-inch baking pan, preferably metal, with nonstick baking spray. Line the pan with parchment paper leaving a 2-inch overhang on the longer sides. Lightly coat with nonstick spray.
• Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat, swirling occasionally, until the butter is a deep golden color, about 5 minutes; the butter will hiss and spit as the whey evaporates so be careful. As the foam subsides the butter will go from a canary yellow color to golden. When it does, take it off the heat. Add the chocolate and cream to the butter and let it sit, stirring occasionally, until the chocolate is melted.
• Sift the flour and cocoa powder through a fine-mesh sieve into a medium bowl. Beat the granulated sugar, brown sugar, salt, vanilla, espresso powder and eggs in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Start on low speed and gradually increase to high speed until the eggs are pale, very thick and fluffy, about 8 minutes (start your timer when you get to high speed). Do not be tempted to skimp on the mix time; this step is key to getting the signature shiny, crackled brownie top. Reduce the speed to low and slowly pour the warm chocolate into the eggs; beat until completely incorporated. Gradually add the dry ingredients and beat until just combined; do not overmix. Use a rubber spatula to scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl and fold until the batter is completely combined.
• Scrape the batter into the prepared pan. Bake until the brownies are glossy and just barely firm, and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center registers 205 degrees F, 25 to 35 minutes. Don't let the thermometer touch the bottom of the pan or you will get a much higher reading. (The cook time will be at the higher end of the range if using a glass or ceramic baking dish.)
• Let the brownies cool completely to allow the crumb to set before slicing, about 3 hours.
• Use an offset spatula to loosen the brownies from the sides of the pan. Use the parchment overhang to lift the brownies out of the pan. Remove the parchment and cut into 24 squares.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 325°F. Spray cookie sheets with cooking spray.
• In 2-quart saucepan, heat butter and 1 cup of the chocolate chips over low heat, stirring occasionally, until melted. Remove from heat; stir in brown sugar. Cool slightly, stirring occasionally. Stir in eggs and vanilla. Stir in flour, cocoa and salt. Stir in remaining 1 cup chocolate chips. Onto cookie sheets, drop dough by tablespoonfuls about 2 inches apart.
• Bake 10 minutes or until almost set. Cool 5 minutes; remove from cookie sheets to cooling racks.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan.
• In 3-quart saucepan over very low heat, melt butter or margarine and chocolate, stirring the mixture constantly. Remove from heat, and stir the sugar into the chocolate. Allow the mixture to cool slightly. Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each, then stir in the vanilla. Combine the flour and salt; stir into the chocolate mixture. Fold in the walnuts. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan.
• Bake in oven 30 to 35 minutes. Brownies are done when toothpick inserted into center come out clean. Cool in pan on wire rack.

Steps:

• Using a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate, butter, and shortening in the microwave in 30-second increments until completely melted, stirring in between each increment. Set aside to cool slightly as you complete the other steps.
• In a medium bowl, whisk the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, salt, and espresso powder until combined.
• In a large bowl using a hand mixer or a stand mixer with a paddle attachment, whip the sugar and eggs on high speed for a full 5 minutes. The mixture will look frothy and lighter in color.
• Add the vanilla, followed by the mixture of melted chocolate, butter, and shortening in a slow and steady stream on low speed until fully combined.
• Add the dry ingredients in two additions and mix on low speed by hand until just combined. Don't over-mix. Finally, mix in the mini chocolate chips.
• Cover and chill the cookie dough for 1 hour in the fridge.
• Preheat your oven to 350°F and prepare 2 half sheet trays with parchment paper. Scoop dough into balls, rolling them to make them slightly taller before you place them on the tray 2-3 inches apart, no more than 8 cookies per tray. Bake for 13-16 minutes until the edges look set.
• Remove from the oven and let cool for at least 10 minutes before serving.
