A Brownie in a One-Bite, Fudgy Cookie

My brownie cookies are thick and fudgy with crisp, chewy edges. They have those classic shiny and crackly brownie tops and are ready to enjoy in less than an hour.
Recipe: sugarspunrun.com/brownie-cook...
Ingredients
8 oz semisweet or dark chocolate bars, chopped (226g)
¼ cup unsalted butter, cut into pieces (57g)
⅔ cup granulated sugar (133g)
⅓ cup light brown sugar, firmly packed (66g)
2 large eggs, room temperature

Instructions:
00:00 Introduction
00:20 Combine chopped chocolate and butter in a medium-sized microwave-safe bowl and heat in 25-second intervals, stirring in between, until completely melted (alternatively, melt chocolate and butter over a double boiler). Set aside.
01:45 In a separate, large mixing bowl, combine sugars, eggs, vanilla extract, and salt. Use an electric mixer to stir until combined. Gradually increase mixer speed to high and beat on high speed until thickened, increased in volume, and lightened in color (a minimum of 2-3 minutes on high speed).
03:19 Drizzle chocolate into the egg mixture and stir until completely combined.
04:03 Sift flour, cocoa powder, and baking powder into the batter and use a spatula to fold together until completely combined.
04:54 Stir in chocolate chips.
05:11 Cover bowl with plastic wrap and chill for 20-30 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 350F (175C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
05:39 Once dough has chilled and oven is preheated, scoop dough into 2-Tablespoon sized balls and roll briefly between your palms to form a smooth ball. Space cookies at least 2” (5cm) apart on baking sheets.
06:47 Bake in center rack of 350F (175C) oven for 10 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool completely on baking sheet before removing and enjoying.
Notes
Storing
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.

I love that you scrape the bowls. I know I can confidently speak for the baking masses who share the common pet peeve of watching people leave half their ingredients and mixes behind for whatever illogical reason. I love your vids, btw. I bake a lot of low-carb and sugar-free goodies and I get a lot of inspiration from vids like yours, so thank you.

[@SugarSpunRun]

Thank you so much! I don't want to miss any goodness so it's always best to scrape the bowls clean! I'm glad you enjoy the videos. :)

[@asugarholicslife]

Agree! I can't stand when people leave it!

[@SisterShirley]

Ditto. I cringe when someone doesn't clean the bowl.

[@theraweggfiles]

@@SisterShirley It just drives me crazy! Feels good to know I'm not alone on this.

[@coleenlong8212]

May I just say AMEN to that‼️ Also, some cooks on these videos stir with a fork when they would do a better job by using a spatula; leaving a good portion of the recipe behind…so wasteful. But even IF they use a spoon they sloppily leave a good sized portion in the mixing bowl…same thing leading to your initial remark. Irritating ‼️ This cook does it correctly 🌸🌷🌸

When I make cookies, I always use gloves. It makes it so much more pleasant to work with messy cookie dough. Also, I always do a test cookie or two, usually two, to see if they spread and whatnot. I bake all low-carb versions of amazing things I find, and I've found massive inspiration from your channel. BTW, I'm commenting again because I'm watching this again. I love your vids.

[@SugarSpunRun]

The gloves would definitely keep your hands cleaner. That's a great idea. I'm so glad you've enjoyed everything so much. I appreciate your support. :)

@@SugarSpunRun Oh my gosh. I'm a HUGE fan of your channel!!!

[@sandraolsen6596]

Hello, how do you make your recipes low carb. versions? And what would you do to this recipe? Please and thank you very much for your support, time and help. 🎉 😊😊

[@theraweggfiles]

@@sandraolsen6596 Hi. Thanks for asking. Yeah, I'm always testing low-carb versions of regular recipes that are NOT low-carb, and cookies and cakes are among the ones I've made that EVERYONE loves. One thing I first do is basically swap out the regular flour for almond flour on an almost one-to-one ratio, then I swap the sugar for an alternative sweetener (my favorite is Splenda, which I use usually about a cup more of Splenda than the reg sugar amt in the original recipe, but it's really to taste). A thing to remember is that when you taste the brownie mix or the cookie dough, it should be a high tad sweeter than you want the final baked result b/c when it's baked, a lot of the sweetness bakes out. It's like making pasta; you season the water with salt making salty like the sea and the pasta will be perfect when cooked (it won't be salty). The rest can be done as the recipe calls for except that since it's a low-carb version, until you make it once and see how your oven bakes or gets hot, it's best to bake one cookie as a test run. Once you get the hang of it, making low-carb versions of anything is easy. Now, every time I see a regular version, my mind is already converting it to low-carb. I hope this helps.

[@theraweggfiles]

Also, as far as this recipe as a low-carb version, I haven't read the recipe yet to convert it. I've only seen the vid, but you can try the steps in my first comment. Also, using dutch processed cocoa makes things much fudgier than regular coca powder. Just remember to use whatever cocoa powder the original recipe calls for because it's already been written to include the necessary amount of baking powder, baking soda or both. @@sandraolsen6596

[@SledDog5678]

Add some instant espresso powder to the dough to intensify the choc. It won't impart a coffee flavor to the cookie.

[@sandraolsen6596]

Hello, how much espresso powder do you think to add? Since I don't drink coffee, is there a certain type to buy that maybe doesn't expire? How would I know that if it is to old to use if I don't like and don't drink any type of coffee? I do know it will last longer in the freezer. Please if people can help me with there comments I would really appreciate the help. Thank you very much for all advice and appreciate the feedback. 🎉🎉 😊😊

Just because you sift your cocoa powder, flour & baking powder, does that mean I have to sift it? Most of the time, you use a whisk to break up the clumps. ChatGPT told me that I can feel free to experiment recipes my way & that I have the freedom to deviate from recommendations & tips or certain instructions if I want to & that as long as something tastes good, that is the most important thing. What are your thoughts?

[@SugarSpunRun]

As shown is what I recommend. If you want to whisk in a separate bowl that should be just fine, doing it this way just saves me a dish. I can't guarantee results when the recipe isn't followed as written, but I think you'll be fine there. Baking can be specific, sure the most important thing is that your end result tastes good, but recipes are written a specific way to make sure you get to that tasty end result (and ChatGPT's track record isn't the best, check out my recent video on AI).
