Hello everyone!
It’s finally my birthday month! So, I decided to celebrate with everything chocolate… I even thought of celebrating my birthday everyday this month by indulging in chocolatey things all month long, then I remembered summer is literally right around the corner.
So with that in mind, I decided to go for a small batch cookie recipe with the hopes of not eating too many cookies… It definitely was hard, I can tell you that much.
I succeeded in only having two and sharing the rest with my sister and boyfriend. But I will definitely make these again very soon!
What’s so special about this brownie cookie recipe?
This delicious small batch chocolate brownie cookie recipe is an incredible recipe to add to your cookie repertoire. It has a beautifully cracked top with a dense and fudgy inside. Think of it as your favorite brownie recipe put into a cookie form.
The recipe itself is very easy to make and requires no chilling time, which to me means, I’ll get to have these beauties in less time! So I am all about it.

- Cocoa powder– Use unsweetened dutch process cocoa powder, it will make these brownie cookies taste amazing!
- Baking powder– This will help give a little hight to the cookies
- Salt– You always need a little bit of salt when you bake, it adds an amazing depth to the final product.

- Brown sugar– Any brown sugar works for this recipe
