Brownie Cookies

Brownie cookies are the chewy, fudgy treat that you are not going to be able to get enough of. A combination of two of my favorite desserts, you won’t believe how ooey gooey and perfect these are!

Calling all chocolate lovers! It is time to get your fix. I know you will love these cookies as well as some of my other tried and true chocolate desserts: brownies, lasagna, and pie.

Not sure whether you want a rich, fudgy brownie or a warm, baked cookie? Well, have I got the dessert for you. This Brownie Cookie recipe is a chocolate lover’s dream. You don’t have to make a trip to the store for a box of brownies anymore, with just a few staples already in your pantry, you can put a fresh batch of these bad boys together. Whether it’s for a party dessert or those late-night cravings, this is the perfect indulgent treat to satisfy your sweet tooth.

My family has loved having these around. If they last long enough, which they usually don’t, they are my favorite Netflix binge treat- warmed up with a scoop of ice cream. The moist, fudgy center of these cookies with a slightly crispy, perfectly baked outer layer is so irresistible. All you have to do is pull out a few basic ingredients from your pantry, mix everything together, and bake!

What You Need to Make Brownie Cookies

You will probably already have a lot of these ingredients which is the best part of this recipe! For all of the ingredient measurements, see below in the recipe card.

Butter: Unsalted, melted.
Vegetable Oil: Makes your cookies moist.
Granulated Sugar: For sweetness.
Eggs: To bind ingredients together.
Vanilla Extract: For flavor. I have found that pure vanilla extract works best.
All-Purpose Flour: For cookie structure. Avoid flour with high protein content or your cookies will turn out too dense. I like using all-purpose flour to keep them light and fluffy.
Salt: To enhance flavor.
Baking Powder: Keeps your cookies light and fluffy.
Cocoa Powder: For a delicious, chocolatey base.
Dark Cocoa Powder: Adds the perfect fudgy flavor.
Chocolate Chips: For melty, amazing texture. You can also substitute with chocolate chunks.
Flaky Salt: Optional, for an added sweet and salty element.

Homemade Brownie Cookies Instructions

With just a few simple instructions, you too can have a soft, chewy cookie in your mouth! These are the best brownie cookies that you will make!

Preheat: Preheat oven to 350°.
Mix Wet Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together butter, oil and sugar until well combined. Add in the eggs and vanilla and whisk until combined.
Mix Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, sift together the flour, salt, baking powder, and cocoa powder. Gently mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and mix until just combined. Gently stir in chocolate chips.
Form Cookies: Using a medium cookie scoop that has been lightly sprayed with cooking spray, scoop cookies onto a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Keep them spaced about 2 inches between each cookie. If you’d like, top with more chocolate chips or flakey salt.
Bake: Bake for 13-15 minutes. Allow to cool on the pan for 5 minutes before removing to a cooling rack to finish cooling.

What to Serve With Your Brownie Cookies

My favorite way to eat Brownie Cookies is a la mode. Try vanilla, keto coconut, or even brownie batter ice cream for a double chocolate treat! Top it with fudge or homemade salted caramel sauce for a delectable sundae. You can also keep it simple and serve alongside a glass of milk since they taste so amazing on their own.

Storing Leftover Brownie Cookies

These are best stored covered with plastic wrap at room temperature and should be consumed within 2 days. If you want that fresh-out-of-the-oven taste, pop leftover Brownie Cookies in the microwave for 10-20 seconds and serve.

In the Freezer: Freeze Brownie Cookie dough balls in a ziplock bag. They will keep for up to 4 months.

Tips for Making the Best Brownie Cookies

Brownie Cookies are scrumptious as is, but use these easy tips to make them taste even better!

Adding Toppings: Customize your cookies like you would a brownie by adding things like nuts, mini marshmallows, caramel, peanut butter chips, and candy pieces to your batter.
Using Too Much Flour: Make sure to measure out your flour. Adding too much will leave you with dense, dry Brownie Cookies.
Mixing Your Batter: Mix your wet and dry ingredients until completely smooth to get a perfect, fudgy result.
Using High-Quality Chocolate: Using high-quality chocolate and cocoa powder can really make a difference in how your Brownie Cookies turn out. If your cocoa has a high cocoa content, the stronger the flavor will be. A lot of bakers swear by Dutch cocoa powder- Ghiradelli and Valrhona are some of my favorites.
Don’t Overbake: Cooking your Brownie Cookies for too long takes away from their fudginess, so make sure to keep an eye on them and only cook for the specified time.
Let Brownie Cookies Cool: Make sure you let your Brownie Cookies cool before serving. If you serve them too soon, they will fall apart and not have that perfect fudgy center.

Mango Smoothie

Mango Smoothie is a cool refreshing summertime treat you are going to love! Sweetened with banana and honey, this is summer in a glass!

Smoothies are a great way to beat the heat and get a bit more fruit in your diet. Try these tried and true favorites today, Raspberry Peach, Mixed Berry, and Peanut Butter Banana Smoothie.

Mango Smoothie Recipe

This mango smoothie is going to knock your taste buds right into refreshing bliss! Smoothies are always a go to for our family in the summer. They are filling, full of fresh wholesome and nutritious ingredients. And they are so exhilarating on a hot summer day. And the best part is how easy these are to make and customizable. You can add and tweak ingredients just to how your family loves it.

They can also be a wonderful quick meal. I love turning my smoothie recipes like my Avocolada into luscious smoothie bowls. Just like my Strawberry and Peanut Butter Banana Smoothie bowls, you can easily turn this mango smoothie into a bowl as well. With the heat still coming on strong this summer, you have to try this impeccably perfect, creamy, and smooth Mango smoothie.

What You Need For a Sweet Mango Smoothie

Mango smoothie is easy on ingredients and so easy to make! For all measurements to the ingredients, see below in the recipe card.

Frozen mango: Look for frozen mango near the frozen fruit.
Frozen banana: Freeze your own bananas and always have them ready to go.
Mango juice: If you can’t find mango juice in your juice aisle, check the refrigerated juice and even frozen juice.
Honey: This adds a nice natural sweetness that is perfect with the mango.
Ice: This will help make it good and cold and thicken it too.

How to Make Your Smoothie with Fresh Fruit

If you have a blender or even an immersion blender you can make this easy and quick smoothie. Blend all ingredients together in a blender until smooth.

How to Cut a Mango

There are two foolproof ways to cut a mango. Use them both to get the most out of your mangos. This mango smoothie recipe will go great with fresh Mangos so grab them and use them while you can.

Knife: You start by cutting the mango “cheeks” or domed sides off of the pit, which runs down the middle. The pit is large and flat so you will know if you hit it. Try to get as close to the pit as possible. Once you cut off the two sides hold the mango in your palm or on a cutting board. Slice the mango lengthwise and then again perpendicularly to make cubes, without slicing through the skin. Gently press the skin to invert the fruit and slice the cubes away from the skin. Repeat with the other half. Trim the rest of the skin away from the seed and cut as much of the remaining fruit from the seed as possible.

Glass: Again start by cutting off the domed parts of the mango so you have two halves. Using a large sturdy glass, place the edge of the fruit against the rim of the glass. With a bit of pressure push the mango down the side of the glass to peel it. You should end up with a large piece of just skin in your hand and a large chunk of fruit in the glass. Cube the fruit or leave it whole to add to your smoothie.

Tips and Variations for Your Mango Smoothie

The possibilities are endless! Try these tips and variations for the best mango smoothie you have ever had!

Mango: You can use fresh or frozen for this recipe and both are awesome. Using frozen will allow you to have a mango smoothie year-round!
Juice Swaps: If you can’t find Mango juice you can swap it out for orange or pineapple juice instead. If you want to add dairy you can also use milk, almond milk, or other milk of choice instead too.
Honey: If you find your mango and bananas sweet enough you can omit the honey altogether. You can also use sugar or maple syrup instead of honey or another sweetener of choice.
Bananas: I freeze overripe bananas all the time by peeling them and freezing them in a gallon ziptop freezer-safe bag. Perfect for when I need bananas for smoothies or even banana bread!
Add-Ins: You can make this smoothie your own by adding in all sorts of different ingredients. Add in a heaping scoop of yogurt for a dairy boost. Add in protein powder or nut butter to amp up the protein. Try adding frozen pineapple, strawberries, or raspberries for a delightful twist. You can also add spinach, chia seeds, or flaxseed meal for a nutritional boost.
