Chocolate brownie cookies

Makes: 12 cookies

From “My First Cookbook,” by America’s Test Kitchen Kids

Vegetable oil spray

½ cup all-purpose flour

2 tablespoons Dutch-processed cocoa powder

½ teaspoon baking powder

¼ teaspoon salt

2 tablespoons unsalted butter

½ cup plus ½ cup semisweet chocolate chips, measured separately

½ cup packed light brown sugar

1 egg

1. Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 325 degrees. Line baking sheet with parchment paper and spray parchment with vegetable oil spray.

2. In medium bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa, baking

powder and salt.

3. In a large bowl, combine butter and ½ cup chocolate chips. Heat in microwave at 50% power until melted, about 2 minutes. Use rubber spatula to stir mixture until smooth.

4. Add brown sugar and egg to melted chocolate mixture and whisk to combine. Add flour mixture and use rubber spatula to stir until combined and no dry flour is visible. Stir in remaining ½ cup chocolate chips.

5. Measure 1 heaping tablespoon of dough and drop it onto baking sheet. Continue with remaining dough (there should be 11 more tablespoons). Leave space between dough mounds. Let sit for 10 minutes.

6. Use your hands to roll each dough mound into a ball, then place back on parchment-lined baking sheet. Gently flatten each ball (if dough is sticky, use wet hands).

7. Bake until edges of cookies are just set and centers are still soft and starting to crack, 11 to 13 minutes. Let cookies cool completely on baking sheet, about 30 minutes.
