Vegan brownie cookies are soft and chewy chocolate chip cookies and brownies swirled together to make the ultimate dessert. When you can’t decide between the rich and crackly texture of a brownie and the classic delight of a chocolate chip cookie, these chewy chocolate chip brownie cookies, or “brookies,” are the solution.
With a perfect blend of two beloved treats, this recipe guarantees a delightful experience in every bite.
The key to perfection? Don’t over bake them! These cookies continue to cook even after being removed from the oven, so 10-12 minutes is just right.
This recipe is from my cookbook: Vegan Chocolate Treats and since it’s being discontinued, I thought I would share one of my favorite recipes from the book. I’ve updated this recipe for accuracy.
