Chocolate Crackle Brownie Cookies are delicious treats that combine the fudgy texture of brownies with the crinkly crust of cookies. They have a rich chocolate flavor and are often topped with powdered sugar, which creates a crackled appearance on the surface. Here's a recipe to make these scrumptious cookies:
Ingredients:
8 ounces (225g) semisweet or bittersweet chocolate, chopped
1/4 cup (56g) unsalted butter
2/3 cup (135g) granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup (60g) powdered sugar, for rolling
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chopped chocolate and butter together in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth. Alternatively, you can melt them in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water (double boiler method). Remove from heat and let the mixture cool for a few minutes.
3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.
4. Add the melted chocolate mixture to the sugar and egg mixture, and stir until smooth and fully incorporated.
5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the chocolate mixture, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.
6. Cover the dough and refrigerate for about 30 minutes to allow it to firm up.
7. Place the powdered sugar in a shallow bowl or plate. Using a cookie scoop or a spoon, scoop out portions of dough and roll them into 1-inch (2.5 cm) balls. Roll each ball in the powdered sugar until fully coated, then place them on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches (5 cm) apart.
8. Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes, or until they have spread slightly and the tops have crackled. The centers may still be slightly soft, but they will firm up as they cool.
9. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
10. Once cooled, enjoy your delicious Chocolate Crackle Brownie Cookies!
These cookies are perfect for chocolate lovers and make a great addition to any cookie platter or dessert table. They are best stored in an airtight container at room temperature and can be enjoyed for several days.
