Chocolate Brownie Cookies

Welcome to the sixteenth post in my year-long Cookie Series, where I want to bring you a new and delicious cookie recipe every Tuesday of 2015.

Imagine brownies.

Now, imagine cookies.

Lastly, imagine chocolate brownie cookies!

What else can I say? These cookies taste good, look good and they're good for you, too, if chocolate is healthy.

Chocolate is healthy, right?!?

CHOCOLATE BROWNIE COOKIES

INGREDIENTS:

• 2 large eggs
• 2/3 cup sugar
• 1 tsp. vanilla extract
• 2 Tbsp. unsalted butter
• 7 ounces chocolate, chopped (any kind you like)
• 1/2 Tbsp. espresso powder
• 1/4 cup flour
• 1/4 tsp. baking powder
• 1/8 tsp. salt
• 3/4 cup mini chocolate chips

DIRECTIONS:

1. Preheat oven to 375.
2. Whip the eggs. Add in the sugar and vanilla and beat (on a high speed) for 15 minutes, or until thick.
3. Meanwhile, place the butter, chocolate and espresso powder in a double boiler and heat until melted. Take off of the heat and stir until the chocolate mixture is smooth.
4. Fold the chocolate into the eggs (streaks are a-ok!)
5. Add the flour, baking powder and salt carefully. 
6. Lastly, fold in the chocolate chips.
7. Bake for 8 to 9 minutes, or until puffed and cracked. 

Note: If the batter is too wet, let it sit for a moment before using it. After about five minutes, the batter should be better.
