Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Toppings

  • 1/2 cup chocolate frosting, for topping
  • 1/4 cup candy sprinkles

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate large bowl, mix the melted butter and sugar until smooth. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
  4. Form Cookie Dough: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing gently until a fudgy dough forms. Avoid overmixing to keep the texture dense and chewy.
  5. Shape Cookies: Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  6. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers remain soft and fudgy.
  7. Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. Frost Cookies: Once cooled, spread a thin layer of chocolate frosting over the top of each cookie.
  9. Add Sprinkles: Immediately sprinkle candy sprinkles over the frosting before it sets to ensure they stick.
  10. Serve: Enjoy your fudgy cosmic brownie cookies fresh for the best taste and texture.

Notes

  • Ensure not to overbake to keep the cookies fudgy and moist.
  • If desired, chill the dough before baking for thicker cookies.
  • Chocolate frosting can be homemade or store-bought for convenience.
  • Store baked and frosted cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
