Meltaway Brownie Cookies

3. Combine the Dry Ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder, baking powder, salt, and flour. This step ensures that the dry ingredients are evenly distributed, preventing any lumps of cocoa powder or salt from forming in your cookies. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until combined. The dough should be thick and slightly sticky, but still pliable.
4. Add the Chocolate Chips
Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips. These chips will melt slightly during baking, creating pockets of gooey, melty chocolate in every bite. If you’re a true chocolate lover, feel free to add extra chocolate chips for even more richness!
5. Scoop and Shape the Dough
Using a cookie scoop or two spoons, scoop out portions of the dough and roll them into small balls, about 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter. Place the dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow room for spreading as they bake.
6. Bake the Cookies
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the cookies for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set and the tops look slightly cracked. The cookies will continue to firm up a little as they cool, so be careful not to overbake them. For a soft, meltaway texture, it’s important to keep the baking time on the shorter side.
7. Cool and Dust with Powdered Sugar
Once the cookies are done baking, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. For an extra touch of sweetness and a beautiful finish, lightly dust the cooled cookies with powdered sugar before serving.
8. Serve and Enjoy
Your Meltaway Brownie Cookies are ready to enjoy! The soft, chewy texture combined with the rich chocolate flavor is a true indulgence. These cookies are perfect for sharing at parties, packing in lunchboxes, or simply enjoying with a glass of milk.
