Chocolate Brownie Cookies, what’s not to love about chocolate cookies, and how about these Chocolate Brownie Cookies

Ingredients:

• 4 ounces of milk chocolate buttons or any chocolate of your preference.
• 2 cups castor sugar.
• 226g of room temperature margarine.
• 3 large eggs.
• 1 tbsp. vanilla essence.
• 2 cups cake flour.
• ¼ cup plus 1 x tbsp. cocoa powder.
• 1 tsp baking powder.
• ½ tsp salt.
• Icing sugar for dusting.

Method:

Line a baking tray with parchment paper.

Using an electrical hand-held whisk, whisk together the sugar and margarine until light and fluffy.

Melt the chocolate in a microwave until melted, but not steaming hot.

Slowly drizzle the chocolate into the margarine mixture and whisk till well combined.

Add the eggs one at a time and beat for a couple of seconds between each egg.

Add the vanilla essence and mix.

In another bowl, mix the flour, cocoa powder, and baking powder.

Add a little of the flour mixture at a time to the chocolate mixture and mix well, once everything is well combined.

Using a mechanical ice cream scoop, scoop the mixture onto the parchment paper.

Bake in a preheated oven at 180C for 10 – 15 minutes or until the cookies have puffed up.

Let them sit on the baking rack for 2 – 3 minutes, then carefully remove to a wire rack to cool completely.

Once cool, sprinkle with icing sugar.
