On Christmas day, my friends and I were invited for a Christmas dinner and I decided to bake some of these delicious treats! This chocolaty goodness is called a Brownie Cookie.
When I was deciding on what to make for the dinner party, I couldn't make up my mind between baking a cake or these brownie cookies. The reason I resolved on baking these is because of the fact that they are easy to eat while compared to a cake. These are perfect for something like a dinner party or a kids birthday party. During the party, the guests can even enjoy it with a glass of Prosecco or Champagne.
Just as a warning, the recipe below makes about 50- 60 of these cookies. I took almost the whole lot to the party and came back with an empty tray. They were quite a hit so the quantity wasn't an issue at all.
Prep: 20-25 mins
Cook: 8-10 mins
What you will need for the brownie cookies:
85g cocoa powder
400g caster sugar
110ml vegetable oil
4 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
250g plain flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon table salt
60g icing sugar
1. Combine the cocoa powder, caster sugar and vegetable oil together in a medium sized bowl.
2. Beat in the eggs one by one and mix in the vanilla essence.
3. Combine together the flour, baking powder and table salt. Mix it in with the cocoa mixture. Cover the dough and chill for about 4 hours.
4. Preheat the oven to 180C/ gas mark 4. Line the baking trays with grease-proof paper. In a separate small plate, pour some icing sugar. Spoon out some of the dough and roll it into approx 2.5 cm balls. Then roll it into the icing sugar and place on the prepared baking tray.
5. Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 mins. Once they are taken out of the oven, let them rest in the baking tray for a minute before taking them out and placing them on wire racks to cool.
Hope you enjoy these delicious chocolaty treats! If you try them out, let me know how it goes :)
