A cookie is a hybrid dessert. It is what comes as an old favorite chocolate chip with the dense, gooey texture of a brownie. The result is one dessert that brings together the best qualities of both in one treat: the chewiness and crunchiness of a cookie blended into the rich, fudgy essence of a brownie. This hybrid treat usually has a soft and gooey inside with slightly crispy edges. This is the reason why it’s a favorite of many who can’t choose between having a cookie and a brownie.

Preparation:
Cookie Recipe:
Step 1: Prepare the Dough:
Preheat oven to 350°F. Cream the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar in the bowl of your stand mixer until light and fluffy. It will help you achieve a chew-cookie softness. Beat in eggs one at a time beating well after each addition. Add in your vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, sift in flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ones, do not overdo this last step. Fold in the chocolate chips. Leave the cookie dough to stand.
2. Prepare the Brownie Batter:
Melt the butter in a microwave-safe bowl or over a double boiler. Add in the sugar, then beat in the eggs one at a time, then add in the vanilla extract. Sift in the cocoa powder and stir until just incorporated. Add the flour, salt, and baking powder, mix until just combined. The batter should be smooth and a little thick.
3. cookie assembly:
To achieve a uniform pattern, pre-sheet with parchment paper. Scoop cookie dough onto the parchment and leave space 2 inches between each drop. Mix the dough by spoon or fingers into a flat layer.
Place little spoonfuls on top of the cookie dough, spreading softly if necessary to cover the whole top. You may need to use as much or as little brownie batter you desire in order to get as fudgy as you like, but approximately 1 to 1.5 teaspoons of brownie batter per is a good amount.
4. Bake:
Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes or when edges are golden and centers soft with a set but still soft texture. Watch them because that can vary with your oven and what size cookie you have.
Remove from oven and let cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Tips for Flawless cookies:
Cookie Recipe:
Chill the Dough: If your cookie dough is runny, a chilling for half an hour can be used when making it sweeter and easier to scoop out and shape.
Use quality ingredients: The flavor in your cookies will depend on the quality of your ingredients. Do not compromise on your butter, chocolate chips, and cocoa powder for you to get the best flavor.
Do not overmix the dry ingredients with the wet. Just combine so they don’t get tough when they bake.
Check for Done: Cookies can easily become overbaked in a flash from perfectly soft. Check for them a minute or two before the minimum baking time so they don’t dry out.
Try Mix-ins: Add the mix-ins to the dough or add them to the brownie mixture. You can have nuts, caramel bits or white chocolate chips giving that much-needed flavor and textural dimension in these cookies.
Serve and Store:
Cookie Recipe:
Warm cookies are best enjoyed when the gooey center of the brownie is at its most indulgent. It can be topped as great when served along with a glass of milk or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Store your cookies in an airtight container at room temperature and they will be around for up to a week. For longer storage you can freeze them. Lay cooled croookies in a single layer in a freezer-safe container or bag, and store in the fridge for about 3 months. Then, warm them up in the microwave for some seconds or oven to restore the gooey center of the cookie.
