    Both my sisters are a huge fan of brownies and when I made these cookies, they scarfed it down.  Personally, I thought it was good, but not that great.  Have you guys tried it?  Let me know how it turns out for you by commenting on the bottom.  Happy baking!

    Tips and Tricks for Making This Brownie Cookies Recipe: 

    • For perfectly shaped and evenly sized cookies, use a cookie scoop or ice cream scoop. It works perfectly each time!
    • You can use white chocolate chips if dark chocolate chips are not available.
    • Feel free to use semi-sweet chocolate chips if you are not a fan of the sweet chocolate chips.
    • You can keep this for as long as one week in an airtight container if you can resist eating them all in one sitting.

     

    How to Make this Brownie Cookies Recipe:

    Before starting off with the mixing process, make sure to preheat oven to 350F and line your cookie sheet with parchment paper. if you are using a baking mat, make sure to spray it with nonstick baking spray if it is not the nonstick variety. If you do not have a baking spray, you can use oil or melted butter to grease your cookie sheet. Now, you are ready to start mixing the ingredients!

    Let’s begin!

    In a large bowl, add butter, brown sugar and white sugar:

    Add some more deliciousness! Throw in our favorite chocolate chips! The more, the merrier – but not too many as the cookie dough won’t stick together 🙂

    Wait till it cools off completely, but if you can’t resist, you can eat warm cookies anyway 😉

    Frequently Asked Questions for the Brownie Cookies Recipe:

    Q: What size of cookie scoop did you use for these cookies?

    A: For these brownie cookies, I used the 2 inches cookie scoop.

    Q: Can I make this dough ahead and bake them the next day?

    A: Yes, for sure. Just put in a container and chill it.

    Q: Can I still add nuts or other candies aside from the chocolate chips?

    A: That would be a delicious and fun addition to this recipe! Go ahead and add them but not too much as it would make the cookies crack too much.

    Q: Would coconut oil work instead of using butter?

    A: Yes, it should work. It would just have a better taste when you use butter.

      Hey Lainey!
      I love your website and videos!
      I have a question: When I made the dough it wasn’t very doughy for me. It was more like a brownie batter. I don’t know what happened! Can you help me with it?

        Hi Patricia,
        Thank you!!
        Oh no, I’m sorry that happened. Sometimes when I bake, if I don’t do the EXACT measurements it will become a brownie batter. However for this recipe, if it is a little bit runny it’s ok.

      These are so yummy Lainey! I added a little bit of flour and decreased the amount of butter and sugar. It turned out just fine. After me and my family tried it I was so excited to try your other recipe. Thank you!!

        Hi Mery, I use Costco brand butter, because it’s cheaper for me to buy in bulk (since I bake A LOT). 🙂 What do you use?

      Hello Lainey:D
      I love all of your recipes so much! Last time I made brownie cookies with my friends but we failed… Because I didn’t notice that you use ‘cup’ instead of ‘spoon’! Anyway, this time I wanna try it again! And here is a question, how can I keep my brownie cookies? Can I just put them under room temperature or I have to put them into the refrigerator? And how many days they can be retain? Thank you very much, Lainey:D
