Chocolate “Brownie” Cookies

Published December 19, 2015

These delightful cookies are soft and cake-like. The texture reminds me of a brownie. They are soft, with just a little crunch on the outside. I like to finish them with a drizzle of white or dark chocolate. Simple to make, I always make a double batch, as they go quickly.

Chocolate “Brownie” Cookies

1 c. butter, softened
1 ¼ c. sugar
2 eggs
2 oz. unsweetened chocolate, melted
½ t. vanilla
2 2/3 c. flour
2 t. cream of tartar
1 t. baking soda
½ t. salt
¼ c. sugar

Chocolate for drizzling, optional

Cream together butter and sugar. Beat in eggs, chocolate and vanilla. Stir in next four ingredients. Chill dough. Shape dough into 1” balls and roll in ¼ cup sugar. Place about 2 inches apart on ungreased baking sheet. Bake in a preheated 375- degree oven for 8-10 minutes. Once cooled, drizzle with melted chocolate, if you like. Makes 5-6 dozen.
