Brownie Cookies {vegan}

biscuit · chocolate · cookies · dark chocolate · eggless

Double chocolate cookie is what my body craves these days.

I want one of those fudgy, cake-y cookies, that look, feel and taste sinful.

A cookie, that has some bounce to it, a bit of density, oodles of dark chocolate that assures sugar overload.

I want a cookie that activates all my senses and brings peace, comfort and satisfaction.
This is a cookie that melts in your mouth, with a brownie like texture, while leaving you with the guilt level of just a cookie.

There is a heavy dose of cocoa, along with a cup of chopped up dark chocolate for that bit of extra. Salt may seem heavy, but it balances off the cocoa very well. Like the other vegan cookies I’ve been working with, this dough needs a bit of a rest – 12 to 24 hours ideally. I recommend, making the dough at night, to go to bed with sweet anticipating dreams and giving you good enough reason to jump out of bed.

The dough is wet and soft, fret not – it’s what bakes this cookie spectacular.

Spectacular – you hear that?

Now go, get baking.

The Perfect Chocolate Chip Cookie

This cookie recipe is very much like the standard slightly chewy, slightly gooey, a tad heavy, but everything you need with a glass of milk. The recipe takes a bit of time, although not laborious, which is fine by me. The butter is to be browned beforehand which gives it this nutty aroma and darkened hue. I always opt for dark chocolate chunks and bits of hazelnuts or pecans. The ratio is personal, so go ahead and up or lessen the quantities of choco and nuts!
