Tips to Make Gourmet Brownie Cookies

Here are a few insider tricks to elevate your cookie game:

• Use fresh ingredients: Outdated eggs can kill your cookie vibe, so make sure they’re fresh!
• Chill the dough: If you have time, chill the dough for about 30 minutes before baking. It helps the cookies maintain their shape.
• Swap up the chocolate chips: Experiment with white chocolate, peanut butter chips, or even raisins for an unexpected twist.

Variation

Feeling adventurous? Switch things up a bit!

• Vegan Option: Substitute the eggs with flaxseed meal mixed with water and use vegan chocolate chips.
• Nutty Delight: Add chopped walnuts or pecans for some crunch and extra flavor.
• Minty Fresh: Mix in mint chocolate chips for a refreshing twist.

FAQs

Can I use salted butter instead of unsalted?
Absolutely! Just skip the added salt in the recipe for a balanced flavor.

How can I make these cookies ahead of time?
You can prepare the dough and refrigerate it for up to 3 days or freeze it for longer storage. Just scoop and bake when you’re ready!

What’s the best way to thaw frozen cookies?
Let them sit at room temperature for about 15-30 minutes or warm them in the microwave for a few seconds to bring back that gooey goodness.
