How to Make the Recipe

Let’s walk through the steps to make these delicious brownie cookies:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

3. In a separate large bowl, melt the butter and let it cool slightly. Whisk in the sugar until smooth.
4. Add the eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
5. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined.
6. Fold in the chocolate chips and nuts until evenly distributed.
7. Drop rounded tablespoons of batter onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each cookie.
8. Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are set and centers are slightly underbaked.
9. Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Pro Tips for Making the Recipe

Here are a few tips to ensure your chocolate brownie cookies turn out perfectly:

• Chill the dough for 10-15 minutes if you want a thicker cookie.
• Use a cookie scoop for uniform cookies that bake evenly.
• Don’t overbake—take them out when the edges are set but the centers are still soft.

How to Serve

These cookies are amazing on their own, but here are a few ideas to take them to the next level:

• Pair with a cold glass of milk or a cup of coffee for the ultimate treat.
• Sandwich a scoop of vanilla ice cream between two cookies for an ice cream sandwich.
• Drizzle with melted chocolate or sprinkle with powdered sugar for a fancy touch.
