Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line 2 baking sheets with a silicone mat or parchment paper. Set aside.
  • In bowl of stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, thoroughly mix cocoa powder, granulated sugar and brown sugar, butter, and veg. oil. Beat in the egg and vanilla. Scrape down the sides of the bowl so that everything is mixed in.
  • Add the flour, baking powder, and salt to the wet ingredients. Mix until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips. 
  • Scoop the cookie dough into 2 T. sized balls. Place the cookie dough balls on the baking sheet about 2 inches apart from one another.
  • Bake for 11-12 mins. Remove from oven and cool on baking sheet for 5-8 mins. Transfer to wire rack to cool completely. **

Notes

Use unsalted butter. If you don't have unsalted butter, you can use salted. However, you need to reduce the amount of salt in the recipe otherwise the cookies will be saltier.
Make sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl during the mixing process. Doing so ensures that all of the ingredients are fully mixed in.
Don't over bake the cookies. Bake for 11-12 minutes. I know every oven is different, so you'll have to keep an eye on them. Just remember, these cookies will set as they cool. If you over-bake a cookie, you'll lose some of the moisture and tenderness.
You can line the baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. I opted for the silicone baking mat because it's grippy and (in my opinion) prevents the cookies from spreading as much.
In order to achieve a perfectly baked cookie, you have to under bake just *slightly*. That's also how you'll get a little bit more of that brownie texture.
Variations: Replace the chocolate chips with butterscotch, cinnamon, mint or peanut butter chips!
Storing: Store the brownies cookies at room temperature for about 4 days in an airtight bag.
Freezing: You can freeze the cookies for up to 3 months. You can also freeze the cookie dough. Roll into balls and place on a cookie sheet. Freeze for about 30 minutes before transferring the dough balls into a Ziplock bag. Freeze the brownie cookie dough balls for up to 3 months. To bake, remove the balls from the freeze, place on the lined baking sheet and bake as directed. The cookies may need a minute or two more since they were pulled right from the freezer.
