triple chocolate brownie cookies

I made three types of cookies a couple of weeks ago. Strangely, they have all disappeared.

It is bizarre. It's like I live with a bunch of cookie monsters.

Oh well, I can always make more cookies.

The LAM requested for chocolate cookies. So today, I made a batch of triple chocolate brownie cookies. These cookies are very very chocolaty, so if you are not a chocolate fan, look away now.

The thing about cookies is that they are really really simple to put together. I love one-bowl bakes.

Here are the instructions on how to make these cookies.

In a mixing bowl, cream together butter and sugar until the mixture turns light and fluffy.

Add the egg and vanilla extract. Mix until combined.

Add the cocoa/flour mixture in two batches and mix until just incorporated.

Add the chocolate chips and pulse just to distribute evenly.

Chill the cookie dough for at least 2 hours. Why? See here.

Use a cookie scoop (or roll the dough to make little balls) to dish the cookies onto the baking trays.

Flatten the tops lightly with your fingers.

Bake at 175°C for 8-10 minutes. Allow the cookies to cool for 5-10 minutes on the baking trays before transferring them onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Aden really liked these. The exterior is crunchy while the interior is soft, like a brownie.

I loved the deep, deep chocolate flavor! :)
