Review:

Taste

Starting off with the taste of the cookies, the first thing to note is that they were very rich. They are basically like a brownie in cookie form. When they bake, they puff up and the top becomes crispy like a brownie. They were just the right amount of sweetness, and the chocolate chips added a change in texture that was very good. The melted chocolate chips in the middle was like a gooey mess but the crispy top added so much good texture that made every bite delicious.

Ease of baking

These cookies were relatively easy and quick to make compared to cookie recipes that have very specific and detailed instructions that can take longer. This recipe only took about 23 minutes, including baking time. It is a pretty standard recipe for cookies. One thing that was different was the recipe used melted butter instead of softened butter, which is sometimes more convenient because it’s hard to remember to leave butter out to soften. So, if you decide you are going to bake some cookies and don’t have much time, choose this recipe, it will save you loads of time!

What we would change

If we were to make this recipe of cookies again we would probably cook them for a little longer as we don’t like super super gooey cookies, but that’s just preference of course! If you like them to be a little bit extra crispy we would say bake them for 25 minutes instead of 23. Another thing we would change is adding ¼ teaspoon of kosher salt instead of ½ because these cookies were a little bit salty for our liking and if you like your cookies more sweet rather than salty you could do the same!

Overall rating

Our overall rating of these cookies would be a 9/10. The creator of this recipe did a great job with the measurements and the estimated times in the instructions are extremely helpful. We would 100% make these again and we also recommend that you try making them!

Recipe:

Ingredients

• ½ cup butter
• ¾ cup brown sugar, packed
• ¼ cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 large egg
• 1 ⅓ cups all-purpose flour
• ⅓ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• ½ teaspoon baking soda
• ½ teaspoon kosher salt
• ¾ cup semi sweet chocolate chips

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
2. Microwave the butter in a large, microwave safe bowl for about 40 seconds. Butter should be about 90% melted.
3. Whisk the butter until it is completely melted
4. Add both the sugars; mix until well combined.
5. Stir in vanilla and egg until incorporated.
6. Add the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
7. Mix dough until just combined. Dough should be soft and a little sticky but not overly sticky.
8. Stir in chocolate chips.
9. Scoop out 1.5 tablespoons of dough (medium cookie scoop) and place 2 inches apart on the baking sheet.
10. Bake for 7-10 minutes, or until cookies are set. They will be puffy and still look a little underbaked in the middle.
