Frosted Brownie Cookies are a combination of the classic brownie taste and a soft, chewy cookie, topped with a rich and creamy frosting. These frosted cookies are a delicious and indulgent dessert that is sure to satisfy any sweet craving.
Prep: Get the oven preheating to 325 degrees F. Lightly grease two baking sheets or use silicon mats, and set them aside.
Dough: Microwave the cocoa, butter, and shortening for 1:30 to 2 minutes. Stir until the cocoa dissolves.
Stir the sugar into the chocolate until well-blended. Add in eggs and vanilla extract and stir again.
Once those are incorporated, add the flour and salt. Mix well and then fold in the chocolate chips.
Bake: Drop by tablespoons onto the prepared baking sheets. Bake for 18-20 minutes.
You should be able to see the tops crack just slightly. Allow to cool for about 10 minutes before removing from pan.
Chocolate Frosting: Heat the cream and butter in a saucepan until the butter melts and the mixture just begins to boil.
Pour the mixture over the chocolate chips and allow it all to sit for about 5 minutes.
Stir the mixture, the chocolate chips will melt into the hot cream leaving you a chocolate ganache with which you can dip or drizzle your cookies. Serve and enjoy!
Notes
These cookies will stay fresh for up to 5 days if stored in an airtight container at room temperature or in the fridge. During the cooler months, these cookies may be fine on the counter but the chocolate may melt if your house is a bit warm.
