Indulge in the richness and deep chocolate flavors of these Choco Blast Brownie Cookies. These fudgy treats bring together the best of both worlds - a heavenly brownie texture in the form of a convenient cookie!
Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
2
In a small bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
3
In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter and 8 oz of semi-sweet chocolate chips over medium-low heat, stirring continuously until melted and well incorporated. Set aside to cool slightly.
4
Using a stand mixer or a hand mixer, whisk the eggs, vanilla extract, brown sugar, and granulated sugar on medium-high speed for 3-5 minutes or until the mixture is light, airy and doubled in volume.
5
Slowly fold in the slightly cooled chocolate mixture into the egg mixture.
6
Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and fold using a rubber spatula, being careful not to over-mix. Just mix until the flour disappears.
7
Using a large cookie scoop, drop the batter into 10 evenly sized cookie dough balls onto the parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches in between each cookie. Bake for 12 minutes.
8
Remove the cookies from the oven and use a large cookie cutter, wider than the cookies, to shape them into perfect round, thick cookies. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack to cool completely.
GANACHE
9
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the 6 oz of semi-sweet chocolate chips and heavy cream. Microwave in 30-second increments, stirring in between, until the chocolate ganache is fully melted and smooth.
TOPPING

Spoon 2-3 teaspoons of the chocolate ganache onto each cooled brownie cookie, and sprinkle with rainbow chocolate candies. Enjoy!
