“How to make brownie cookies!” By Andrea C.

One day, during Thanksgiving break, I was up on Tiktok at 3am. If you aren’t aware, Tiktok is a social media platform where creators can make videos that are just about anything. The content on the platform are dance videos, comedy videos, educational videos, etc. My favorite type of content to see on my “For You” page are the baking videos. I was scrolling through my For You page when I came across this video of someone showing how to make brownie cookies. I have a really big sweet tooth so I was immediately captivated by the video. While watching the video, it reminded me of my childhood. My older sister would make these chocolate cream cheese crinkle cookies during the holidays up until I was 11. My entire family raves about these cookies all the time but she doesn’t make them anymore and forgot her recipe. We’ve tried to look up other recipes online, but they never come out tasting the same as they used too. So when I came across this video, I wanted to introduce a new dessert to my family. I instantly got up, at 3 am, to make them. After I made these cookies, I was in love. Wasn’t sure that was possible, but trust me...if you’re as much of a chocolate lover as much as I am, you’ll be in love with these too. Hope you enjoy! Make sure to check out the original recipe on Tiktok! @iankewks

Ingredients Needed

1.       A cup of chocolate chips (your favorite, I used semi-sweet)

2.      ¼ cup of butter

3.      2 large eggs

4.      ½ brown sugar

5.      ½ white sugar

6.      A teaspoon of vanilla extract

7.       cup of flour

8.      Pinch of salt

9.      A teaspoon of baking powder

10.   3 tablespoons of cocoa powder

11.    Powdered sugar

Directions

1.       Preheat oven to 350 degrees

2.      Put chocolate chips and butter into a bowl and microwave the bowl for about 20 seconds. Stir together until you get a frosting consistency.

3.      In a separate, larger bowl, mix the 2 eggs, brown and white sugar, and the vanilla extract. Beat until pale for about 2-3 minutes on high speed.


4.      Slowly start adding in our chocolate chip and butter mixture into the larger bowl.

5.      Start sifting in the flour, salt, baking powder, and cocoa powder mixture into the large bowl and mix it all together… as Hannah Montana said it best

6.      This step is optional, you can add a cup of chocolate chips to the mixture if you would like! I know some people like chocolate but not TOO much.

7.       Let the mixture sit in the fridge for about 30 minutes

8.      Then, roll into small/medium sized balls and place onto a tray with aluminum foil or a baking sheet

9.      After, put them in the oven for 16-18 minutes. I did 18 minutes so they were crispy on the outside and soft in the middle

10.   Lastly, let them sit for 2 minutes after taking them out of the oven and sprinkle some powdered sugar all over the cookies!

  2. These sound so delicious! I've fallen down the tik tok hole so many times myself, but sometimes it has awesome results. I found the account you got the recipe from, and they look so good! I am torturing myself reading this, and finding the cookies in the middle of the night because I cannot make them right now. Thank you so much for sharing! I followed that account and I am going to have the best lunch, dinner, and dessert ideas now. P.S. you can never have too much chocolate. - Nicole Lillie
