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:
Mix until well combined:
Add egg, vanilla extract, and continue mixing:
The mixture should look like this - smooth and evenly textured:
In another bowl, add cocoa powder, salt, baking soda. Mix them well until they are well combined:
Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix:
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 🙂
Roll cookies into 1 inch balls and bake for 10-12 minutes:
If you are baking these now, I am sure you are so tempted to eat them. It smelled sooo good in my kitchen!
Wait till it cools off completely, but if you can't resist, you can eat warm cookies anyway 😉
Yes, I took a bite and it was sooo good! I couldn't count anymore how many times I mentioned the word "good" when I baked these!
Take a good look at these cookies, if you stare at it long enough it will come to you. Just kidding! 😀
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?
Lainey says
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.
Sophia says
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!!
Lainey says

Mery says
What brand of butter you use? Thank you.
Lainey says
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?
Lainey says
To be honest I use whatever is at my grocery store.. I usually don't get the same ones.. As long as all of them are unsalted butter! <3 Sorry I responded super late!

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
Lainey says
Thank you so much for the sweet comment! 😊 I'm so glad you and your friends had fun making the brownie cookies, even with a little mix-up on the measurements—happens to the best of us!
For storing your brownie cookies, you can definitely keep them at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 3 days. If you want them to last a bit longer, store them in the refrigerator for up to a week—just let them come to room temperature before serving to get that chewy texture back. You can also freeze them for up to a month; just thaw them in the fridge and enjoy! Happy baking, and I can't wait to hear how it goes! 🍪💛
