Chewy Brownie Cookies

Baking for grandkids is a blast. We have most of our grandchildren coming over for Chanukah and this Bubby is excited. I want to see each one, from the youngest to the oldest. For those who can't make it, we will miss you and I miss you already.

Grandchildren means I have a reason to bake cookies. This one is just right for the young and old. My first batch when I made a smaller cookie, although good, were not as chewy as the outrageous larger cookies which were soft and chewy and filled with chocolate chips.

Chewy Brownie Cookies

2/3 cup butter or margarine

1 1/2 cups packed light brown sugar

2 eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 tablespoon water

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1/4 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

2 cups semisweet chocolate chips 

 
Method: 


Preheat oven to 375 degrees F .

Beatmargarine and sugar with an electric mixer in a large bowl until smooth. 

Beat in one egg until completely incorporated. Beat in last egg along with vanilla extract and water. 

Combine flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt in a small bowl. Stir flour mixture into creamed mixture at low speed until just blended; fold in chocolate chips. 

Drop spoonfuls of dough 2 inches apart onto ungreased baking sheets. (I used the tablespoon sized cookie scoop for the larger batch and cooked it for the 9 minutes.  The smaller cookies, I left in the oven for 7 minutes.)
 
Bake in preheated oven until cookies are set, 7 to 9 minutes. Cool 2 minutes on baking sheet; transfer cookies to wire racks to cool completely.

Eat and enjoy.
