How to Make Cosmic Brownie Cookies:

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.
  3. Add the Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  4. Incorporate the Chocolate: Pour in the melted chocolate and mix until fully incorporated, resulting in a rich, chocolatey dough.
  5. Form the Cookies: Scoop out tablespoons of dough and roll them into balls. Place the dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Gently press the dough balls down slightly with your fingers.
  6. Bake: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, until the edges are set but the centers are still soft. Remove from the oven and immediately sprinkle the tops with the mini rainbow chips.
  7. Cool and Enjoy: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy the cookies warm or at room temperature for a blast of chocolatey nostalgia!

Tips:

 

  • Extra Fudgy: For an extra fudgy texture, slightly underbake the cookies and let them finish setting up on the baking sheet.
  • Storing: Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
  • Freezing: You can freeze the cookie dough balls for up to 3 months. Bake directly from frozen, adding a couple of extra minutes to the bake time.

Substitutions and Variations:

  • Dark Chocolate: Swap the semi-sweet chocolate for dark chocolate if you prefer a richer, less sweet cookie.
  • Nuts: Add chopped walnuts or pecans to the dough for an extra crunchy texture.
  • White Chocolate: Use white chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet for a different flavor twist.

Make a Healthier Version:

  • Whole Wheat Flour: Substitute half of the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour for added fiber.
  • Reduce Sugar: Use a sugar substitute or reduce the amount of sugar for a slightly less sweet cookie.

Frequently Asked Questions:

  1. Can I use regular chocolate chips instead of melting chocolate?
    Yes, but melting chocolate gives the cookies a smoother, richer texture.
  2. Can I make these cookies gluten-free?
    Absolutely! Substitute the flour with a gluten-free flour blend that measures cup-for-cup.
  3. What if I don’t have rainbow chips?
    You can use regular chocolate chips, mini M&Ms, or even sprinkles for a fun alternative.
  4. How do I prevent the cookies from spreading too much?
    Chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking to help the cookies hold their shape.
  5. Can I add other toppings?
    Definitely! Crushed candy bars, nuts, or a drizzle of caramel sauce would all be delicious.
  6. Can I double the recipe?
    Yes, this recipe doubles well if you need to make a larger batch. Just be sure to adjust your baking time as needed.
