Salted Brownie Cookies
Whether you’re hosting a party, looking for a sweet treat, or wanting to impress guests, Salted Brownie Cookies are the perfect choice. The combination of rich chocolate, fudgy texture, and a hint of sea salt makes them a crowd-pleaser that everyone will enjoy.
Ingredients
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- ⅓ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- ½ cup coconut oil melted and cooled
- ¾ cup dark brown sugar
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ¼ tsp salt
- 1 egg
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp espresso powder or instant coffee optional
- ¾ cup chocolate chips
- coarse sea salt for sprinkling
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F. In a bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt, then set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cooled coconut oil, brown sugar, egg, vanilla extract, and espresso powder (if using) until the mixture is smooth and creamy, about 1 to 2 minutes.
- Gradually mix in the flour mixture until fully incorporated, then gently fold in the chocolate chips.
- Shape the dough into small balls by hand or use a small cookie scoop to portion it onto a baking sheet. Lightly press each ball down with the palm of your hand.
- Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, removing them at the 9-minute mark for a softer texture. As soon as they come out of the oven, sprinkle with a pinch of sea salt.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. This recipe makes approximately 16 cookies.
Notes
- For a gluten-free option, use a 1:1 gluten-free all-purpose flour substitute.
- To make it vegan, you could try replacing the egg with a flax egg, though this hasn’t been tested. If you give it a try, I’d love to hear how it turns out!
