Black Cocoa Brownie Cookies

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F / 175°C. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Step 2

Chop up the baking bar if using one, and set aside.

Step 3

In a small microwave safe bowl, melt together the semi sweet chocolate chips and butter until the mixture is smooth. Then, mix in the black cocoa powder and set aside.

Step 4

In a medium sized bowl, use a hand mixer to beat together the sugar and egg on medium high speed for 3-4 minutes, until the mixture is pale and fluffy.

Step 5

Add in the melted chocolate mixture and mix until just combined.

Step 6

Add in the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and chopped chocolate. Fold the mixture together with a rubber spatula just until no flour streaks remain.

Step 7

Use a 3 tbsp. cookie scoop to generously scoop out 6 cookies. Leave at least 2" of space between each cookie, to allow room for spreading. Top with additional chocolate chips or chocolate if desired, and bake for 10 minutes.

Step 8

Immediately after taking the cookies out of the oven, you can take a bowl that is slightly larger than the cookies and swirl it around over the cookies to make them a little more uniform and circular. Also while they are still hot, press the candy eye sprinkles in to the tops of each cookie.

Step 9

Serve and enjoy!
