These are brownie cookie hybrids- a fudgey, brownie like texture and a chewy cookie shape. They’re extremely chocolatey and are completely eggless! Best enjoyed with a glass of cold milk or ice cream
Steps:
Mix the milk and vinegar together in a large bowl and keep aside.
Sieve the flour, cocoa powder, and baking powder together in a bowl. Add salt and whisk, keep aside.
In a double boiler over low heat, melt the chocolate and butter until completely liquid. You can use a microwave to do this as well, just remove the bowl and thoroughly mix after every 15 seconds to ensure even heat distribution or the chocolate will burn.
Add the brown sugar to the milk vinegar mixture, which should have slightly curdled by now. Using a hand blender on low speed or a whisk, mix it well until sugar is completely dissolved in and mixed in, around 4-5 minutes.
Stream the warm butter-chocolate mix slowly into the bowl with one hand, ensuring to whisk with the other simultaneously. This will emulsify the mixture a little and the warm chocolate will incorporate into your milk vinegar mixture well.
Once completely added, whisk for another 2 min.
Add the flour mixture into the bowl and whisk until just combined. Cover the bowl with a lid or plastic wrap and refrigerate for 10 min.
Once slightly cooled, use an ice cream scoop to measure out dough (each scoop should be around 2 tbsp). Roll the dough into balls and slightly flatten them, and place on a baking tray. Cover the tray with plastic wrap and refrigerate for another 30 min.[3]
Preheat the oven to 180C. Remove the cooled cookie dough and bake for 12-13 min. If your cookies are smaller than 2tbsp it’ll take less time. Remove from the oven and cool.
Notes:
[1] If you can find Dutch process cocoa powder use that, as it will add a deeper flavour and give a better, darker look to your cookie.
[2] The better quality the chocolate is, the better your cookie will taste.
[3] You can freeze these dough balls as well for up to 2 months. Remove whenever you want cookies and bake for 1 min longer than usual.
