These Brownie Cookies Will Be Your New Favorite Dessert

This brownie cookie recipe is fudgy, loaded with chocolate, and sports that crinkly top that you want in a brownie but in cookie form.

How did we do it?

The fudgy brownie batter is first chilled and then rolled into balls so it can hold its own without a pan to hold it up into bars. The trick to any brownie to get that distinctive crinkly top is really preheating your oven. That burst of heat when you place your baking pan into the hot oven is what will give your brownies that crinkly top.

With this tip in mind, this brownie cookie recipe is just a few steps away from being your next favorite kind of cookie.
