How to make Soft Brownie Cookies
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 170°C.
In a large mixing bowl, add the caster sugar and cocoa powder. Stir until they’re evenly blended.
Pour in the melted butter and vegetable oil. Mix until the batter is smooth and fully combined.
Crack the egg and add vanilla essence. Mix again until the mixture is silky and homogeneous.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and baking powder.
Gradually add the flour-baking powder mixture into the chocolate batter. Stir until there are no streaks of flour. Do not overmix.
Once your dough is ready, fold in the chocolate chips. Use dark or milk chocolate, totally up to your taste.
Scoop the dough into balls (you can use an ice cream scoop, but if you don’t have one, just use your hands
Roll them into balls and slightly flatten them. How thick you want them is totally your choice
Bake at 170°C (340°F) for around 12 minutes. Baking time may vary depending on your oven.
Let the cookies cool on the tray for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. They’ll firm up slightly but remain soft and fudgy inside.
Store in an airtight container to keep them soft and gooey.

Tips & Tricks
For a fudgier cookie, slightly underbake them.

Store the cookies in an airtight container to maintain their softness.
If you want them extra gooey, use a mix of dark and milk chocolate chips or add a few chunks of chocolate on top just before baking.
FAQS
Can I use unsalted butter instead of salted butter?
Yes, you can use unsalted butter. Just add a pinch of salt to the dough to balance the sweetness.
Can I freeze the cookie dough?
Yes, you can freeze the cookie dough. Shape the dough into balls, place them on a baking sheet, and freeze. Once frozen, transfer them to a freezer bag. Bake directly from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the baking time.
What is castor sugar and can I use regular granulated sugar?
Castor sugar is a very fine granulated sugar. If you don't have castor sugar, you can use regular granulated sugar, but the texture of the cookies might be slightly different.
Can I add nuts to the cookies?
Yes, you can add chopped nuts such as walnuts or pecans for added texture and flavor. Fold them into the dough along with the chocolate chips.
How do I know when the cookies are done?
The cookies are done when the edges are set and the centers are still slightly soft. They will continue to set as they cool.
