Brownie Cookie

A rich, fudgy brownie cookie with crackly edges, a gooey chocolate center, and a touch of flaky sea salt.

The Best of Both Worlds: Brownie Meets Cookie

If you love the rich, fudgy center of a brownie but crave the chewy edges of a cookie, this single serve brownie cookie is the best of both worlds. Made with simple ingredients and plenty of chocolate, it bakes up with a crackly top, soft gooey center, and a sprinkle of flaky sea salt for the perfect finishing touch. It’s an easy dessert for those nights when you want something deeply chocolatey without making an entire pan of brownies.
