Description

These salted brownie cookies combine a fudgy brownie interior with chewy cookie edges and a sprinkle of flaky sea salt for the perfect sweet-salty contrast.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 8 oz semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup chocolate chips or chunks
  • Flaky sea salt for topping


Instructions

  1. Melt the butter and chopped chocolate together until smooth, then stir in the granulated and brown sugars.
  2. Whisk in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
  4. Fold the dry ingredients into the chocolate mixture until just combined.
  5. Fold in the chocolate chips or chunks.
  6. Scoop the dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  7. Bake at 350°F for 8–10 minutes until the edges are set but the centers remain soft.
  8. Sprinkle flaky sea salt on top immediately after baking and cool before serving.

Notes

  1. Chill dough for 10–15 minutes if cookies spread too much.
  2. Warm cookies for a few seconds in the microwave for a gooey texture.
  3. Store in an airtight container for 3–5 days.
