Thick and fudgy brownie cookies with a delectable chocolate frosting.
They have soft fudge middles and crackly tops just like a true brownie with a chewy texture like a cookie. The best of both worlds.
Their full of walnuts too. I favor brownies with walnuts for both their crunch and flavor. And ‘cause that’s what I grew up on.
Take away every dessert for the rest of my life except walnut brownies and I could survive. So long as they were fudgy and not cakey. Cakey brownies don’t do anything for me.
A super creamy frosting made from chocolate rather than cocoa turns them into something utterly sinful. And completely addictive.
You’ve been warned.
Thick and fudgy brownie cookies with a delectable chocolate frosting.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly grease 3 cookies sheets or line with parchment and grease the parchment.
- Stir together all of the ingredients until smooth, scrape the bottom and sides of the bowl and stir again till smooth - the batter should be thick enough to handle - if it's not slowly mix in more confectioners' sugar until you get a stiff batter.
- Scoop up rounded teaspoons of the batter and roll into balls. Set on cookie sheets 2 inches apart.
- Bake cookies 8 minutes; they should spread but still remain thick. Allow them to cool completely before removing from the pan.
- To make the frosting melt the chocolate and butter together; stir until well combined. Mix in sugar and milk until smooth. Dollop the top of each cookie with a spoon full. Store in tightly covered containers in a cool, dry place up to a week.
Notes
If you have a kitchen scale I recommend weighing the sugar and cocoa powder.

Do you like a fudge brownie or a cake brownie? Or are you an equal opportunist?

Holy decadence! These brownie cookies look amazing, Reeni!
I haven’t seen a brownie cookie in ages! I used to adore them – it is indeed the best of both worlds. Thanks for the wake-up call!
