Best Fudgy Chocolate Brownie Cookies are a one bowl wonder ready in minutes!
Once you try one of these Fudgy Chocolate Brownie Cookies, you’ll never have a brownie again!
These cookies are so chocolatey → soft → chewy → super fudgy → gooey on the inside, with a crispy/crunchy outer shell. Not only does the entire pan disappear in seconds, they are renamed ‘woooaahh! BETTER THAN BROWNIES!‘ by everyone who tries them!
These brownie cookies took four attempts; three re-bakes JUST TO MAKE SURE; and SO MANY BAGS OF CHOCOLATE CHIPS to nail this one and get it right for you guys.
I took my Best Fudgy Cocoa Brownies, played around with the measurements and finally nailed it. Texture is so important to me when it comes to what I’m craving, and usually my cravings are irrational and complicated. So when my brain switched into high gear wanting chewy, soft, fudgy AND crispy chocolate somethings, ALL rolled in ONE, it was on like Donkey Kong.
Texture and richness aside, what’s the best thing about these cookies. One bowl. ONE BOWL PEOPLE. No melting chocolate > no saucepans or pots > no waiting around chilling dough > no whipping yourselves into a stressful chaos beating eggs or egg whites, and NO WEIRD INGREDIENTS.
One bowl + easy pantry ingredients + minimal steps = Best Fudgy Chocolate Brownie Cookies. Guaranteed.

Fudgy Chocolate Brownie Cookies
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup white granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup melted butter
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 egg
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1 1/3 cups all purpose flour (or plain flour)
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/3 cup semi sweet chocolate chips, (add more if desired)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line 2 cookie sheets or baking trays with parchment paper (baking paper).
- In a medium-sized bowl, mix together the cocoa powder, white sugar, butter and vegetable oil. Beat in egg and vanilla until fully incorporated.
- Add the flour, baking powder, and salt; stir the dry ingredients first before mixing them through the wet ingredients until a dough forms (do not over beat). Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Scoop out 1-2 tablespoonful of dough with a cookie scoop (or small ice cream scoop), and place onto prepared baking sheets. Press them down as thick or thin as you want your cookies to come out.
- Bake in hot preheated oven for 10-12 minutes. The cookies will come out soft from the oven but will harden up as they cool. (Be careful not to over bake as they will dry out.)
- Allow to cool on the cookie sheet for 10 minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool.

Amazing recipe!! I ran out of butter so I substituted with margarine and used dark chocolate chunks instead of semi-sweet chips. It’s still so soft and fudgy three days later.

THE best brownie cookie recipe ever! I just pulled them out of the over and the baked to perfection! I can never find these cookies in stores anymore and this recipe is easy enough to make when the craving strikes. Super easy and versatile to add variations. Thanks for sharing and happy new year!

I just found this recipe and it is fantastic! I used softened butter and put dough in the fridge for a half hour. What can I say? I’m a creature of habit! I also added chopped almonds (had to find these online). I brought these to work and they were gone in a flash! Thanks for sharing
Karina says
Hi Timothy, it’s so great that you found the recipe fantastic! Your tweaks with softened butter and a brief chill in the fridge sound like great adjustments. Adding chopped almonds is a wonderful touch, and it’s fantastic that they disappeared so quickly at work. Thank you for trying the recipe and for your kind words! If you ever explore more recipes or have questions, feel free to reach out. Happy baking!

Hi,
I baked these yesterday and they turned out sooo good, they’re absolutely delicious. I was just wondering, is the serving size just one cookie?

Perfect recipe. I am very fond of chocolate and orange together. I added a tsp of orange extract, 1+ tablespoons of orange zest, and 1/4 c chopped up candied orange. Swoon worthy. Thank you for great recipe.
Mariam Tahir says
I thought I was the only one doing it. I add zest and a dollop of orange marlmalade. Have given out the recipe to dozens of people.

making these for a school bake sale and everyone in my foods class loved them, they stay soft after fully cooling. Taste like fudge brownies SO GOOD!
