Cosmic Brownie Cookies
I like to think Elain would bake these for Nyx, and any other children that happen to live in the neighborhood.
For @elainarcheronweek's cookie exchange- what a fun event to bring the community together.
Recipe below the cut:
I got this recipe from cookingwithkarli
Cookie Dough:
1 1/2 cups salted butter, softened
1 1/2 cups brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
3 eggs
2 tbsp corn syrup
1 tbsp vanilla extract
3 3/4 cup all purpose flour
1 cup dutch processed cocoa powder
1 tbsp cornstarch
2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
Chocolate Glaze:
2/3 cup heavy cream
2 cups semi sweet chocolate chips
1/3 cup rainbow coated chocolate chips [note: I bought mine from nuts.com but amazon also has them, and a local bakery supply store might also carry them in your area]
Directions:
preheat the oven to 350
Cream together butter (I like to brown my butter, but thats optional) and sugar- you'll want it to be well incorporated, and a light yellowish/brown color
Once creamed, add in your eggs, corn syrup, and vanilla until everything is well combined
Add the flour, cocoa, cornstarch baking soda and salt. Mix until your chocolate cookie dough forms and the texture of the dough is soft without being sticky (you should be able to roll it in your hand without getting residue all over your palm)
Divide and roll out 12 cookies. They'll be quite large as this recipe is a crumble cookie copycat. I like to roll out smaller balls of 24, but do what makes you happy
Spread your cookies on a parchment lined tray- either 6 if you're doing 12 large cookies or 12 if you're doing 24. You'll want to keep a decent amount of space between them.
Bake for 15-17 minutes. You'll know they're done with they still look soft but not wet, and there are little cracks in the dough. They should be soft when you bite into them, and not hard or crunchy.
While your cookies bake, double boil (best method) or heat up your heavy cream in the microwave for about 1 1/2 minutes-2 minutes OR until your cream is boiling. It should be very hot but not burnt.
If you decide to microwave your cream, check on it in 30 second intervals
Pour in your chocolate chips and let it melt in the cream, whisking until its smooth, well-combined, and without lumps
You can spoon it on about ten minutes after your cookies are out of the oven BUT it will melt your icing. I recommend waiting about 30 minutes so you don't end up with a drippy mess, but I'm not here to tell you how to live your life
Sprinkle candy coated chips on top
The recipe recommends eating them warm
Enjoy! These are a favorite in my house!
