Brownie Cookies Ingredients
PS: The main image which you see is shot during my first attempt of making this cookies. I re-made the recipe recently, thats when I took ingredient shot and video for you. I used semi sweet chocolate chips alone and not chocolate chunks.
Chocolate - I used semi sweet chocolate chips. but in the main image you can see I have used some chocolate chunks too. This ingredients picture, video and step wise images uses just chocolate chips,
Butter - I used unsalted butter which I used to melt with chocolate.
Egg - you need egg for this cookie to get the perfect texture. I haven't tried this recipe without eggs.
Brown sugar - this is what used in the batter to get the perfect chewy texture in the cookies.
Vanilla Extract - use pure vanilla extract for maximum flavour.
All Purpose Flour - I used plain flour for the cookie batter. You can use whole wheat flour for the cookie batter too.
Baking Powder - use little bit of baking powder, which adds perfect texture to the cookies.
Salt - a little amount of salt, enhances taste of the cookies.
