Especially now that Joy the Baker posted a comment on my entry about the Cran-Banana Bread, I’m happily searching through her site for more recipes to try. Here’s a winner called Chocolate Brownie Cookies which she says she got from King Arthur Flour.
So what makes them brownie cookies? Well, they’re very chocolatey. And super soft, like almost too soft to be cookies. And they have that cool shine on top. Usually I associate that shine with brownie mixes (which I do not use), but how can you not love the way the surface of the cookie picks up the light?
I underbaked some of them like the photo above. I warned friends and family about the underbaked cookies because they were almost gooey inside, but everyone seemed to want to try those specifically.
The properly baked ones were awesome too. You can see here they were just a bit lighter and thicker.
A few tweaks… I didn’t have espresso powder, but I’d totally try that next time. I had to throw in some semi-sweet chocolate with the bittersweet because I didn’t have enough. And I added chopped walnuts because, well, I love nuts in my brownies and figured I’d love them in these cookies too. The brownie cookies were a pretty major hit. Thanks, Joy.

I'm Justin Schwartz, a cookbook guy and occasional food writer, and this blog is about what I'm up to these days. I'm the author of Veg Out Vegetarian Guide to New York City and The Marshmallow Fluff Cookbook. You can email me at justin at justinschwartz.com. I'm also on Instagram.
A lot of the books I write about are ones I've edited, so my opinions are very biased. And if I didn't work on the book, someone probably gave it to me for free. So keep that in mind before you take my word for it. Sometimes I just like to give a shout-out to my friends. And oh yeah, my opinions have nothing to do with my employer...
I am so in the mood for brownies. Just to think the little buggers, sitting in the freezer just waiting to be thawed one by one… heaven.
One time I only made Joy the Baker recipes for three weeks. =)I saw these! They do look delicious. Yum. =)p
Brownie cookies – 2 delicious concepts in 1! I love this!
Yum, I love the way the outside of the cookies really is shiny like a brownie. That's neat & they look scrumptious;)
Mmm…Cookies and brownies in one. That's a plus in my book. I made something a little similar to those before quite by accident really. It was a happy mistake.
Joy's site is a treasure trove of great recipes. Your version of this one came out perfect. Wish I had a couple to enjoy post dinner tonight.
JTB = amazing. Her recipes always look delish. You should try the chickpeas!

These cookies look awesome I love brownies and cookie brownies sounds like a winner!!! … I love when things stuff like this is underbaked, when you bite into it you get all the melted chocolate on the inside!!! Mmmm!!
My favorite bars in cookie form? Man would these be dangerous round here. Thanks to you and Joy for sharing this awesome recipe.

Mmmm… I am going to bake these for my son, he loves anything with chocolates! Looks really drooling good!
I've only tried ATK's Triple Choc Cookies which are a big hit anytime I take them somewhere (even won a blue ribbon at the State Fair). Will have to compare both recipes because the end result is very similar. Thanks for posting (if you have any cookies left, they freeze really well too).
gaaah, must eat now. this is one of my favorite kinds of cookie. baking with julia has a recipe with a similar looking cookie that's incredibly tasty as well. these look amazing!
These brownie cookies look awesome! I like that they are a good hybrid of two desserts I love.
These are my kind of cookies. They look delicious.

I love brownie cookies. They look delicious, especially the underbaked ones!
These look decadent and positively addictive. I'd imagine these would be very good dunked into a glass of milk.
