Calling all chocolate lovers! It is time to get your fix. I know you will love these cookies as well as some of my other tried and true chocolate desserts: brownies, lasagna, and pie.

Not sure whether you want a rich, fudgy brownie or a warm, baked cookie? Well, have I got the dessert for you. This Brownie Cookie recipe is a chocolate lover’s dream.

In the Freezer: Freeze Brownie Cookie dough balls in a ziplock bag. They will keep for up to 4 months.

Adding Toppings: Customize your cookies like you would a brownie by adding things like nuts, mini marshmallows, caramel, peanut butter chips, and candy pieces to your batter.Using Too Much Flour: Make sure to measure out your flour. Adding too much will leave you with dense, dry Brownie Cookies.Mixing Your Batter: Mix your wet and dry ingredients until completely smooth to get a perfect, fudgy result.Using High-Quality Chocolate: Using high-quality chocolate and cocoa powder can really make a difference in how your Brownie Cookies turn out. If your cocoa has a high cocoa content, the stronger the flavor will be. A lot of bakers swear by Dutch cocoa powder- Ghiradelli and Valrhona are some of my favorites.Don’t Overbake: Cooking your Brownie Cookies for too long takes away from their fudginess, so make sure to keep an eye on them and only cook for the specified time.Let Brownie Cookies Cool: Make sure you let your Brownie Cookies cool before serving. If you serve them too soon, they will fall apart and not have that perfect fudgy center.
