Cosmic Brownie Chocolate Cookies (Recipe for Printing)

Soft chocolate cookies with rich cocoa flavor and colorful candy topping for a playful sweet snack.

# What You Need:

→ Cookie Base

01 - 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted
02 - 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
03 - 2 large eggs
04 - 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

→ Dry Ingredients

05 - ¾ cup all-purpose flour
06 - ¼ teaspoon salt

→ Mix-ins and Toppings

07 - 1 cup mini chocolate candies (such as M&Ms or cosmic candy pieces)

# How to Make It:

01 - Set oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - In a large mixing bowl, whisk melted butter and granulated sugar until fully smooth. Beat in eggs one at a time, then add vanilla extract and mix until incorporated.
03 - In a separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour and salt.
04 - Gradually fold the dry mixture into the wet mixture until a homogeneous dough forms.
05 - Gently fold mini chocolate candies into the dough, distributing evenly.
06 - Scoop dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing evenly. Bake for 12-15 minutes until just set around the edges; centers should remain soft.
07 - Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.

# Extra Tips:

01 - For extra chewiness, slightly underbake by 1–2 minutes. Substitute candy pieces with white chocolate chips or rainbow sprinkles for variation. Store cookies in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
