It’s National Cookie Day! What better recipe to make than Thalia Ho ‘s Salted Coffee Brownie Cookies! I’ve wanted to make these for such a long time, and I’m so glad that I finally did.
Though I know it’s better to weight all of your ingredients when baking to be the most accurate, I usually do not. That’s just what works for me. Thalia’s recipe is written in grams, so I did my best to convert the recipe.
If you prefer to weigh your ingredients, definitely take a look at Thalia’s original recipe here:
To make the cookies, start with melting the chocolate with the butter. Set aside.
In a standing mixer, beat the eggs with the brown sugar. Add the melted chocolate mixture. Then add the dry ingredients except for the flaked salt. Then add the water.
Place mixture in the refrigerator for 15-30 minutes to slightly firm up. Use a cookie scoop to scoop cookie dough onto a parchment lined cookie sheet. No more than 12 on one sheet. Sprinkle with the flaked salt. Bake in a 350 degree oven for about 11 minutes.
Here’s where the tapping comes in. About 5 minutes into the baking. Open the oven door and tap the pan against the rack a few times to flatten the cookies. 5 minutes later, repeat the process. The repeat a third time. Cool on a cooling rack.
It truly is a rich, fudgy brownie in a cookie form. We couldn’t get enough!
