Instructions:
Step 1
In a small saucepan, melt the butter and bittersweet chocolate chips together over low heat, stirring constantly until smooth.
Step 2
Allow to cool slightly.
Combine the eggs, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract in a separate bowl, whisking until thoroughly blended.
Step 3
Gradually add the melted chocolate mixture to the egg mixture, stirring until fully incorporated.
Step 4
In another bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking soda.
Step 5
Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until a smooth dough forms.
Step 6
Fold in the chopped pecans and miniature semisweet chocolate chips, if using. Chill the dough in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
Step 7
Preheat the oven to 175°C (350°F) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
Step 8
Using a spoon, dollop the cookie dough onto the lined baking sheets, ensuring they are spaced apart to accommodate spreading during baking.
Step 9
Bake in the preheated oven for 8–10 minutes, or until the cookies have a slight crack on the surface.
Step 10
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a brief period before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 11
Enjoy these Fudgy Brownie Cookies as a delightful treat on their own or paired with a glass of cold milk or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for extra indulgence.
