Magic Brownie Cookies combine the fudgy texture of brownies with the chewy delight of cookies, packed with semi-sweet chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, walnuts, and coconut flakes for a rich, decadent treat.

Ingredients

1 ¼ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips (8 ounces)

6 tablespoons unsalted butter

2 teaspoons instant espresso powder

2 large eggs (room temperature)

¾ cup granulated sugar

1 tablespoon vanilla extract

⅓ cup all-purpose flour

½ teaspoon kosher salt

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 cup chopped walnuts

1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

1 cup butterscotch chips

1 cup sweetened coconut flakes

1 tablespoon all-purpose flour (for tossing mix-ins)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  2. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 1 ¼ cups chocolate chips and butter. Heat on high for 30 seconds, stir, then heat for another 15 seconds and stir again. Let sit for 1-2 minutes, then stir until smooth.
  3. Stir in the espresso powder. Let the chocolate mixture cool for 15-20 minutes.
  4. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, sugar, and vanilla together until combined, about 2 minutes.
  5. Turn the mixer to low and slowly add in the cooled chocolate mixture, mixing just until combined.
  6. In another bowl, combine the flour, salt, and baking powder. Stir in the flour mixture just until combined.
  7. In a medium bowl, combine the walnuts, chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, and coconut flakes. Toss with 1 tablespoon of flour. Stir into the dough.
  8. Scoop cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet using a cookie dough scoop or a rounded tablespoon.
  9. Bake for 13-15 minutes. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.

Notes

  • Nut-Free: Omit the walnuts to make these cookies nut-free.
  • Coconut-Free: Leave out the coconut flakes if preferred.
  • Flavor Twist: Add a teaspoon of cinnamon or chili powder for a spicy kick.
  • Dried Fruit: Incorporate dried cherries or cranberries for a fruity touch.
  • Ensure cookie dough is chilled before baking to prevent excessive spreading.
  • Butter gives richer flavor and better texture than margarine.
  • Espresso powder enhances chocolate flavor but can be omitted.
  • Cookie dough can be frozen; bake from frozen with added time.
  • Substitute gluten-free flour to make gluten-free version.
  • Additional mix-ins like toffee bits or peanut butter chips can be added.
  • Cookies are suitable for shipping when packed airtight.
