Chocolate Chunk Slab Brownie Cookie Recipe
This is something to whip up when you have every intention of hitting the couch in a big way with a blanket and a couple of seriously promising DVDs.
It’s taken me a while to create a chocolate cookie that in my opinion just works. Usually I’d make individual cookies with this recipe, but it was my daughter who suggested we make one “reaaaallly biiiig cookie,” and this slab was born.
This is also great for entertaining or kids’ parties; you can just break off chunks and wrap it in paper – rustic!
Chococolate Chunk Slab Brownie Cookie Recipe
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cooking Time: Around 25 minutes plus allow some time for it to cool
Difficulty: Easy
Author: Katie from Mumabytes
Ingredients:
150 gr (5 oz) softened butter
1 cup brown sugar
1 egg
1 tsp baking powder
2 cups plain flour
1 tsp vanilla essence
3 tbsp cocoa powder
1 1/2 cups milk chocolate chunks/chips (I used Nestle melts roughly chopped)
Method:
1. Preheat oven to 180 C (350 F)and grease/line a cookie tray with baking paper.
2. Use electric beaters to cream the butter and sugar until pale, and then add the egg and vanilla. Beat for a few seconds more to bring it together.
3. Add the flour, cocoa and baking powder to the butter mixture. Use your hands to bring it together into a soft dough.
4. Add the roughly chopped chocolate or choc chips to the dough and combine well.
5. Press the dough into the tray, flattening down on top as well as you can.
6. Bake for 25 minutes or until the edges darken. This takes a little longer than individual cookies, and it’s harder to know when it’s cooked. You want hard edges and a slightly spongy centre. It will harden further out of the oven.
7. If you can, try and let it cool a bit before tucking in.
Hope you find this recipe just as good as we have. Share it with others if you like it.
