BROWNIE COOKIES

To get a crackly top, you will need to work fast and bake the cookies immediately without letting the cookie batter chill at all.

Another tip for a crackly top is to whip the eggs and set a timer for 4 minutes. The whipped eggs give these cookies a perfect crackly top!

Use room temperature ingredients. It is important that you use room-temperature ingredients like eggs and butter. This step ensures that your mixture mixes into a homogenous mixture and bakes perfectly. you don’t want to place cold batter into the oven.

Don’t overmix the batter, you don’t want to develop the gluten in the flour. This step ensures you have moist cookies and not dense and dry cookies.

Measure your flour correctly! When measuring your flour, avoid scooping it with a measuring cup. Instead, stir the flour with a spoon to create as many air pockets as possible, and spoon it into your measuring cup. Finally, level it with a back of a knife.

Line your sheet pan with parchment paper or a silicone mat! This step helps the cookies to bake evenly, and it makes sure that your cookies release easily from the pan.

Use a cookies scoop to scoop out the cookies, that way you will have even-sized cookies, plus it ensures that your cookies bake evenly

Sift your flour and the cocoa powder! sifting your flour and cocoa powder is a very important step when baking and making cookies. Use a fine-mesh sifter to sift out the flour and cocoa powder. Cocoa powder tends to have big lumps, so we always sift the cocoa powder to make sure that there won’t be any cocoa lumps in the mixture.

Make sure that you are using fresh ingredients! One of the most common mistakes in baking and making cookies is not noticing that your baking powder or baking soda is expired. This can ruin your cookies and waste your time and money on the ingredients.

Before you start to make this recipe, measure and prepare your ingredients so the cooking process will go smoothly and easily.
