Soft, moist, and dainty, Chocolate Brownie Cookies are a way to bring the flavours of a classic fudge brownie to a sophisticated dinner party; this is how the rich, famous, and pretentious might indulge in a brownie!
Using a double boiler, gently melt the dark chocolate and butter together. Allow the mixture to cool.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour and the baking powder and set aside.
In another bowl, whisk together the brown sugar and the eggs.
Add the egg mixture to the chocolate mixture and stir well to combine.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir to combine.
Using a small ice cream scoop (I used one tablespoon sized scoop), place mounds of the batter on silicone or parchment lined baking sheets. Be careful not to place the batter too close. The batter is thin and will spread.
Bake, one baking sheet at a time, on the middle rack for 11 minutes.
Allow cookie to cool on the baking sheet for two minutes before transferring to a cooling rack to set.
Once fully cooled, dust the top with confectioner's sugar (optional) and serve.
Cookies can be refrigerated, but will not retain the right taste and texture if frozen.
