Our recipe for homemade brownie cookies is delightfully decadent, and intensely chocolaty, with a signature brownie crunchy top and a moist chewy center!
These fudgy brownie cookies are a simple, from-scratch recipe that will leave you drooling as you watch them puff and bake. They taste like a soft, chewy version of our favorite brownie.
I love to share these cookies at parties and Sunday dinners. They bring smiles to everyone at the table, and no one can eat just one. My brownie cookies are great year round, at any event from football games to long summer nights, holidays, or just because!
So make sure you whip up a batch of these chocolate flavor bombs as soon as you can!
If you love brownies as we do, I hope you’ll try my cosmic brownies, triple chocolate brownies, red velvet brownies, and brownie brittle!

Brownie Cookies Ingredients
- Unsalted Butter: Use good quality unsalted butter. I like Challenge or Land O Lakes.
- Unsweetened Chocolate: This is baking chocolate.
- Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips: I use the semi-sweet but you can also use dark chocolate chips as well.
- Flour: Use a medium gluten all-purpose flour like Gold Medal unbleached all-purpose flour.
- Baking Powder: Helps the dough rise.
- Salt: Adds flavor and helps keep the cookies tender.
- Eggs: Make sure they’re at room temperature not cold from the fridge. I use large eggs.
- Sugar: Granulated sugar, i.e. table sugar.
- Vanilla Extract: Don’t use imitation, use pure vanilla extract.
- Pecans: Optional but recommended.
Storing + Freezing Tips
- How To Store: Allow them to cool completely before storing. These can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature. The less air around them, the fresher they will stay.
- I like to store them in a resealable plastic bag with as much air removed as possible. I think the texture of these cookies is best within a day or 2 after baking.
- They can be refrigerated for extended life.
- Freezing: These freeze well. Store in a resealable plastic bag for up to 6 months.
- Food Safety: If you’d like more info on food safety check out this link.

It only takes 1 tablespoon of batter to make the cookie, not 2. If you did 2 it wouldn’t bake. I got 60 cookies out of the dough. They are good.
Looks like a good recipe. Can’t wait to try it. Thank you.
Thanks, Christine! Enjoy 🙂
These ĺook amaaaazing, Kathleen! 1st on my list to bake, after the kneecap I broke yesterday allows me to get out of bed 😕. Hopefully, 2 🤞 to 3 weeks.

Can these be made sugar free/artificial sweetner?
Hi, Alex. I haven’t tried this with sugar substitutes.
When you say “unsweetened chocolate” do you mean chocolate chips or cocoa powder?
Hey Nicole! It’s baking chocolate that comes in a bar form. You’ll find it in the baking section at any grocery store. Enjoy these cookies they’re super yummy!
Completely irresistible! I’ll have to make a double batch! 🙂
Thanks Reeni!
