How to Make Cookies Façon Brownie : délice chocolaté à tester absolument!
- Preheat your oven to 350°F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

- In a large bowl, whisk the melted butter with granulated sugar and brown sugar until smooth and shiny.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture; whisk until fully combined.
- Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
- Stir in the chopped semi-sweet chocolate pieces to add gooey pockets of melty chocolate in the cookies.
- Use a tablespoon or cookie scoop to drop dough onto the prepared baking sheets about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 12 to 14 minutes, or until the edges are set and slightly crisp but the centers look soft and fudgy.
- Remove from oven and let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Tips for the Best Results
- Use good-quality cocoa powder and chocolate for the richest flavor.
- Do not overbake—the cookies should look slightly underdone in the center for that perfect fudgy texture.
- Allow melted butter to cool before mixing to avoid cooking the egg prematurely.
- For extra gooey bites, fold in some chocolate chunks or chips instead of only chopped chocolate.
- Use parchment paper or silicone baking mats to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
Storage and Reheating
Store your cookies façon brownie in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days to maintain their chewy texture. For longer storage, place them in the freezer inside a resealable bag for up to 2 months.
To reheat, pop a cookie into the microwave for 10-15 seconds or briefly warm in a preheated 300°F oven for 5 minutes to revive that fresh-baked fudgy softness.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use regular chocolate chips instead of chopped chocolate?
Yes! Chocolate chips work perfectly and provide lovely melty pockets throughout the cookie. Chopping chocolate just gives a chunkier texture if you prefer.
Do these cookies need to be chilled before baking?
No chilling is necessary for this recipe. The dough can be baked immediately after mixing, saving you time when you want a quick chocolate treat.
Can I substitute butter with oil?
Butter provides flavor and texture that’s key for brownie-like cookies. Using oil may change the texture and flavor, so it’s best to stick with butter for authentic results.
How do I store these cookies to keep them soft?
Keep them in an airtight container at room temperature with a slice of bread inside. The bread helps maintain moisture and keeps cookies soft longer.
