Brownie Cookies

Ingredients

Chocolate Layer

• 100 g butter
• 60 g powdered sugar
• 1 g salt
• 30 g egg
• 60 g melted chocolate
• 80 g all-purpose flour
• 40 g cocoa powder
• 3 g baking powder

Butter Cookie Dough

• 90 g butter
• 45 g powdered sugar
• 0.5 g salt
• 30 g egg
• 190 g all-purpose flour

Instructions

1. Mix 100 g softened unsalted butter with 60 g powdered sugar until smooth and creamy.
2. Add 30 g egg and mix well.
3. Add the melted chocolate, 80 g all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and 1 g salt. Mix until well combined.
4. Cover the bowl with cling wrap and refrigerate until the chocolate dough is slightly firm.
5. In another bowl, mix 90 g butter with 45 g powdered sugar until smooth and creamy.
6. Add 30 g egg and mix well.
7. Add 190 g all-purpose flour and 0.5 g salt. Mix until a dough forms. This dough will be drier and easier to handle than the chocolate dough.
8. Divide the butter dough into 24 equal portions and roll each into a ball. Divide the chocolate dough into exactly 24 portions and roll into balls.
9. Gently flatten a butter dough ball. Place a chocolate dough ball in the centre, wrap the butter dough around it, and seal the edges. Repeat with the remaining dough.
10. Arrange on a lined baking tray. Using a cookie press or a flat-bottomed glass, gently press each ball down. The cracks around the edges reveal the chocolate dough underneath.
11. Bake in a preheated oven at 160°C for 15 minutes. For golden-brown, crispier cookies, bake for an additional 3–5 minutes.
