Chocolate Brownie Cookies

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   How to bake brownie chocolate cookies? Very easy and fast. First, prepare the necessary ingredients according to the list. Take the flour of the highest grade. Cocoa is high-quality, preferably alkalized. You need a large, selected egg. Bitter chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 72%.

2. Step 2:

   

   In a saucepan, combine the chocolate broken into pieces with butter. Put on a slow fire and melt with constant stirring. Instead of a stove, you can melt the mixture in the microwave. Cool the mass to room temperature.

3. Step 3:

   

   With a mixer, beat the egg with sugar until lightened and the mass increases 3-4 times.

4. Step 4:

   

   Add the cooled chocolate mixture and whisk again until smooth.

5. Step 5:

   

   Sift flour, cocoa and baking powder into a separate bowl.

6. Step 6:

   

   Pour the flour mixture together with salt into the dough. Salt for the recipe is better to take ordinary table salt, not large, not sea salt. Since cookies are baked for only 12 minutes, large salt crystals may simply not have time to melt and will crunch on the teeth. Salt adds flavor contrast to cookies, but if you don't like the combination of sweet and salty, it's better not to add salt at all.

8. Step 7:

   

   Knead a homogeneous soft dough. I was kneading with a silicone spatula. If the dough began to form into a lump with ease, peeling off from the walls of the bowl, then it is ready. If necessary, you can add a little more flour.

9. Step 8:

   

   If the dough is too sticky, put it in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes.

10. Step 9:

    

    Roll 8 identical balls out of the dough weighing 45-50 g. Flatten each ball with your hands, giving the shape of an even round cookie.

11. Step 10:

    

    Place the cookies on a baking sheet covered with parchment at a distance of 5-6 cm from each other, as the cookies will increase in size during baking. Bake cookies in a preheated 180 ° C oven for no longer than 12 minutes. The inside of the cookie should remain slightly moist, and the outside should be crispy.

12. Step 11:

    

    Transfer the finished still warm cookies from the baking tray to the grill, sprinkle with sea salt if desired and serve to the table. Bon appetit!
