How to make Fudge Brownie Cookie?
Fudge Brownie Cookies are quite simple to make. You can make them just like any other brownie or cookie recipe. Just follow these simple steps, and even if you are a beginner, you will produce perfectly baked cookies:
Step 1: Prepare the equipment: Line the baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the oven rack in the middle and preheat the oven to 350 F.
Step 2: Combine all of the dry ingredients: In a medium-sized bowl, sift and mix the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Step 3: Mix the wet ingredients: Combine the egg, brown, and granulated sugar together. Mix using an electric hand mixer and mix until smooth.
Step 4: Melt the butter: Cube the butter and place it in a container. Microwave until melted and immediately add the chocolate chips to melt it. You can double broil this too. The idea is to melt the chocolate chips.

Step 6: Bake: Scoop two to three tablespoons of the batter onto the baking sheet. Make sure that the batter is two inches apart. Bake for ten minutes and remove the cookies immediately from the pan to the cooling rack.
Tips to Remember
Follow these tips to ensure the fudge brownie cookies are perfect:
• Before you start preparing the cookies, measure all the ingredients and line them in front of you. This way, you can work quickly and swiftly without messing p the recipe or getting confused.
• You can either use dark chocolate or semisweet chocolate for this recipe. Whatever your preference is, use premium quality ingredients for the best results.
• Never overwork your mixture. The more you mix the ingredients, the flatter the cookies will be. Even if you see a few lumps, ignore them.
• You might feel the cookies are not cooked through. Trust the timer and remove the cookies from the oven once the timer goes off. Because the cookies will be hot, they will continue to cook slowly even if they are out of the oven. Giving more time in the oven will ruin their fudgy texture.
