Brownie Cookies

I need to remember these cookies. You know when you want something sweet, delicious and homemade, but you want it to be quick and easy? This is that recipe. This is the recipe you keep on hand for when you want a homemade treat with little prep and a short amount of baking time. Remember these cookies!

I'm totally going to forget.

But it helps that they are incredibly delicious. They are exactly like the title says: brownies in the form of cookies. They're soft and moist like brownies, but in the form of a fun little bite-size cookie. They're not overly chocolaty, but they're sweet enough to satisfy any sweet tooth. I loved these and so did my family. Enjoy!

Ingredients

• 2 blocks (2 oz., weight) baking chocolate (unsweetened or bittersweet)
• 2 sticks butter, softened
• 2 cups sugar
• 3 whole large eggs
• 1 tbsp. vanilla
• 2 1/4 cups flour
• 1/4 cup plus 1 tbsp. cocoa powder
• 1 tsp. baking powder
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• Powdered sugar, for dusting

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with a baking mat or parchment paper and set aside.

Melt the chocolate in the microwave, stir, and let it cool.

Use a hand mixer to mix the butter and sugar together until fluffy and combined. With the mixer on low, slowly drizzle in the cooled chocolate. Scrape the bowl and mix again. Mix in the eggs one at a time, then the vanilla. Scrape the bowl once more and mix.

Combine the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt in a separate bowl. Stir it together, then add it in scoops to the mixing bowl with the mixer on low. Scrape the bowl once and mix one final time until all combined.

Scoop generous tablespoons onto prepared baking sheet. Bake for 11 minutes until puffy and set.

Remove them from the oven, let them sit on the pan for 1 to 2 minutes, then remove them to a baking rack to cool completely. Once cool, sprinkle generously with powdered sugar.
