Chocolate Brownie Cookies

If you love chocolate, brownies and cookies, you definitely need to bake these.  This recipe is so delicious and you will not be disappointed.  It's one of my all time favourite cookie recipes.

These Chocolate Brownie Cookies are so delicious and full of chocolate flavour.  They taste just like a brownie but in a cookie.  Hard to stop at just one cookie.

You can eat the cookies without adding the chocolate ganache in the middle but the ganache takes it to the next level of yum. Hope you give this recipe a try soon.

Chocolate Brownie Cookies

Ingredients

· 40 grams butter
· 200 grams dark chocolate, finely chopped

· 2 tablespoons icing sugar

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 180°C. Line three trays with baking paper.

2. Place butter and chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a saucepan of simmering water (make sure the bowl does not touch the water). Stir until completely melted, then set aside.

3. Add eggs, sugar and vanilla extract in a bowl and using an electric beater beat the mixture for 10 minutes or until thick and creamy.

4. Fold in sifted flour and then chocolate mixture and allow it to stand for 10 minutes.

5. Place mixture into a piping bag or snap-lock bag. Pipe 4 cm round circles on the baking trays. Allow about 5 cm between each cookie.

6. Bake in oven for 8 minutes or until puffed and beginning to crack. Allow the cookies to cool on baking trays.

Chocolate Frosting

7. Place butter and chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a saucepan of simmering water (make sure the bowl does not touch the water). Stir until the butter and chocolate are melted and smooth. Whisk in icing sugar. Allow mixture to cool to room temperature. Beat with a wooden spoon until thick and spreadable.

8. Pipe the chocolate frosting on half the cookies and then sandwich together with remaining cookies.

Tips

· You can also just spoon the cookie dough mixture onto the baking trays without a piping bag. Just try to make them as even in shape as possible.
