These fudgy brownie cookies are so rich and chewy — the perfect answer to your chocolate fudge cravings!

When it comes to baking, you know me: One bowl, dump, bake, done!

But for these fudgy brownie cookies, I went a little out of my comfort zone and the results were well worth it! I ended up with a delicious fudgy cookie with the creamy consistency of a brownie but also the fun of a perfectly portioned cookie.

Though I usually like mixing by hand, I spent many long hours last year debating getting a cordless mixer. In the end, I decided to gift myself with one for Chanukah. It was pricey but worth every penny. I am all for using a whisk or wooden spoon to mix my batters, but sometimes it’s simply easier to use a real mixer and this way I don’t have to shlep out something big and heavy. It’s so light and easy to use! For this recipe, the electric mixer is not strictly necessary — I actually used a whisk, not the mixer, when I tested it — but using it would make it easier and quicker.

The batter for this is very moist and sticky, not like a regular cookie dough, which is how they end up as such fudgy cookies. Don’t try to roll the cookies with your hands. Either use a cookie scoop or two spoons to transfer the batter to the cookie sheets. The cookies spread a lot, so make sure you leave space between them on the cookie sheet.

If you are a chocolate cookie lover like I am, you will also love these double chocolate pecan cookies!
