The BEST Brownie Cookie Recipe

Frosted brownie cookies are a decadent treat that combines the rich taste of chocolate brownies with the soft texture of cookies. The cookies are made with a blend of cocoa powder, flour, and sugar, which gives them their rich chocolate flavor. They are also packed with chocolate chips, which add an extra layer of richness and texture to the cookies.

What sets frosted brownie cookies apart from other cookies is their soft, chewy texture. They are baked until just set, which gives them a fudgy texture that is reminiscent of brownies. The frosting on top of the cookies adds even more moisture and flavor, making them a truly indulgent treat.

How to Make Frosted Brownie Cookies

Prep

Get the oven preheating to 325 degrees F. Then, lightly grease two baking sheets or use silicon mats, and set them aside.

Dough

In a small bowl, microwave the cocoa powder, butter, and shortening for 1 minute and 30 seconds. Stir until the cocoa has dissolved.

Next, add in the sugar and mix until well blended.

Then mix in the eggs and vanilla extract until well incorporated.

After that, add in the flour and salt, continue to mix well until no white streaks of flour remain.

Lastly, fold in the chocolate chips.

Bake

Proceed to drop the cookie dough by the tablespoonfuls onto the prepared baking sheets.

Place cookies in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes. The tops of the cookies should be slightly cracked when done baking.

Be sure to allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.

Chocolate frosting

In a saucepan on the stove, heat the heavy cream and butter, just until the butter melts and the mixture begins to boil.

Then pour the hot liquid over the top of the chocolate chips in a separate bowl. Allow the mixture to sit undisturbed for about 5 minutes.

After the wait time, stir the cream and chocolate until the chocolate ganache is thick and well combined.

Continue to drizzle the ganache over the top of each cookie or dip them in the frosting depending on how you want to do it.

Let set, then serve and enjoy!

How long are fudgy brownie cookies good for?

To keep Frost Brownie Cookies fresh, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5-7 days. For longer storage, place them in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks or in the freezer for up to 3 months. For best results, I recommend storing them only after the cookies have cooled completely and the frosting has set.

Can I freeze brownie cookies?

Yes, these cookies can be frozen for up to three months in an airtight container. I recommend not adding the chocolate ganache frosting until after the cookies have thawed because when ganache thaws it is known to sweat, which means your cookies could become soggy or unappetizing looking.

Can I turn box brownie mix into cookies?

Yes, you can turn a box brownie mix into cookies. Simply add an extra egg and a 1/4 cup of flour to the brownie mix. Mix well and then scoop onto a baking sheet to bake.

What is the difference between brownie batter and cookie batter?

Brownie batter is typically thicker and fudgier than cookie batter. Brownies are meant to be dense and moist, while cookies are meant to be light and crispy. Cookie batter usually contains more flour and less sugar than brownie batter.
