Chocolate Brownie Cookies
If you love brownies, you’ll go crazy for these Chocolate Brownie Cookies chock full of mini chocolate chips. They’re mini in size but maximum in chocolate intensity!
With semisweet and unsweetened chocolate, a touch of espresso and a generous helping of chocolate chips, these Fudgy Brownie Cookies from Scratch are destined to become your dream cookie!
Chocolate Brownie Cookies with Mini Chocolate Chips
These tiny two-bite chocolate brownie cookies taste just like brownies, hence the name. I made these delicious gems for my son, Tom, to take to a Super Bowl party, but I had to make a second batch shortly after as there was much disappointment when these left the premises.
I’ve had this recipe since 2007 and wonder why the heck it took me so long to bake them! If you’re having a chocolate craving, I’d suggest baking up a batch of these chocolate laden cookies. And I bet you’ll want more than one! And luckily, due to their petite size, more than one won’t ruin your diet!
Did you know that coffee enhances the flavor of coffee? This is why just a bit of brewed espresso is added to this fudgy brownie cookie recipe.

Tips for Making These Fudgy Brownie Cookies from Scratch
This ultra chocolaty dough is pretty sticky and, therefore, can be tough to dish out onto your baking sheets. The first batch was lovely and glossy, but subsequent batches were definitely on the duller side. But don’t worry, they’re all delicious. Just a food blogger’s quandary—how to get them all to be perfect!
- Using the microwave to melt chocolate, is easy. Do it slowly and cautiously.
- Start with 30 seconds, stop and stir and then repeat. Once you see only teeny bits of chocolate, the heat of the melted chocolate will finish the job.
Kitchen Tools You Might Like:
- Consider a stand mixer to mix these chocolate brownie cookies. The eggs, sugar, espresso and vanilla are beaten for 15 minutes. It’s a long time with a hand held mixer, but you can definitely use one.
- PRO-Tip: Line your baking sheets with parchment paper. The cookies must cool completely on the baking sheet before removing them so the bottoms do not stick. Using parchment on your pans also makes cleanup a breeze.
- Use a small cookie disher to scoop out rounded balls of dough. The disher will need to be cleaned frequently as the dough tends to stick to the insides.
- Using some non-stick cooking spray like Pam to grease the cookie disher will minimize but not prevent having to clean the scoop.
- Alternatively, you can use a teaspoon and scoop out about 1 1/2 teaspoons of dough per cookie.
How to Make Round Chocolate Cookies
- Note that the first batch of these chocolate brownie cookies came out of the oven glossy, like in the photos. Do not worry if your second and third batches are not as pretty. I would guess this is partially due to the dough sticking to my cookie disher. They will still taste terrific!
- When you use a regular teaspoon, your cookies may not be perfectly round after baked. PRO-Tip: You can use your spatula and tap the hot cookies into a rounder shape immediately after removing them from the oven. This works for almost all cookies.
- These cookies taste best on the day and day after they are baked. I place any leftovers in an airtight container and freeze for later.
