CHOCOLATE BROWNIE COOKIES

If you’ve tried our classic Chocolate Chip Cookies or our Soft Peanut Butter Cookies , you’ll already know that we love a cookie with a gooey, cakey centre and perfect, crispy exterior. You’d also know that we’ve perfected the World’s Best Fudgiest Brownie recipe which has quickly become a favourite among readers.

Because sometimes it’s too hard to pick between a buttery, soft cookie and a gooey, fudgy brownie, we’ve gone ahead and combined the two. Yep! This means you get the best of both worlds!

Just so you know, these chocolate brownie cookies took four attempts… FOUR. Three re-bakes and soooo many bags of chocolate chips to nail this one for you guys.

I took my Best Fudgy Cocoa Brownies , played around with the measurements and finally nailed it. Texture is so important to me, especially when it comes to brownies and cookies. There’s nothing worse than craving a soft, gooey cookie but getting a dry, crumbly cookie instead! So, when my brain switched into high gear after a craving for chewy, soft, fudgy and crispy chocolate cookies kicked in, it was on like Donkey Kong!

Texture and richness aside, what’s the best thing about these cookies? They can be made using just one bowl! ONE BOWL PEOPLE. That means, no melting chocolate, no saucepans or pots, no waiting around chilling dough, no whipping yourselves into chaos beating eggs or egg whites, and NO WEIRD INGREDIENTS.

HOW TO MAKE CHOCOLATE BROWNIE COOKIES

This recipe is so easy and mess free, these chocolate brownie cookies will definitely become your favourite go-to dessert. First thing’s first – preheat your oven and line two baking trays with baking paper.

Grab a medium sized bowl and throw in all of your dry ingredients and stir. Then you’re going to mix in your wet ingredients until it forms a dough. Once you’ve achieved the right consistency, fold in your chocolate chips.

You’re then going to start scooping equal sized balls of dough and placing them onto your baking paper. Press down on your cookie dough until you reach the desired thickness.

All that’s left to do now is pop your chocolate brownie cookies in the oven and wait. Once they’re ready, pull them out and let them cool. I know it’ll be tempting to shove one straight in your mouth but try to resist! You don’t want to burn your tastebuds off! Once sufficiently cooled, munch away.

Okay, can we all agree that Taco Tuesday is literally the best night of the week?! It’s my go-to for a fun, easy dinner that I know everyone will love. And since this year’s National Taco Day is happening on a Tuesday (Oct 7th!), we are going ALL out!

I’ve gathered my absolute best, most-loved Taco Tuesday ideas to make your next taco night a total knockout. We are not the only ones crazy about Taco Tuesday Old El Paso is declaring October 7 “ National Taco Day-Off ” and giving you a chance to win a trip to a Cowboy Ranch.

How to Make The Quickest Tacos

I know weeknights are crazy! You want an amazing Taco Tuesday, but you need it FAST. These are my secret weapons for getting delicious tacos on the table in under 30 minutes.

  • Prep Ahead: Chop your lettuce, tomatoes, and onions in the morning or the night before. Store them in airtight containers in the fridge. When it’s time to eat, you just have to set them out!
  • Use Smart Shortcuts: Don’t be afraid to use pre-shredded cheese, a bag of slaw mix, or a good quality store-bought pico de gallo or guacamole to save time. You can find pico de gallo in the refrigerated section, I love the one from Trader Joe’s . It’s known for being consistently fresh, chunky, and having a great flavor. My biggest tip for any store-bought pico is to drain off any extra liquid at the bottom of the container and give it a stir. If you want to make it taste homemade, add a quick squeeze of fresh lime juice and a little chopped cilantro. It makes all the difference!
  • Cook The Meat in Batches: I love to cook a double batch of taco meat on Sunday. I use half for dinner that night and save the other half for Tuesday. It reheats in minutes and its good to store in an airtight container in the fridge for 3 to 4 days.

What to stuff in a Perfect Taco?

Building the perfect taco is an art, and it’s all about the layers! Here’s my guide to the essential components.

  • The Tortilla: Choose your base! Flour tortillas are soft and pliable, great for over-stuffed tacos these are my personal favourite, I use the Tortilla Land uncooked flour tortillas. You find them in the refrigerated section and cook them in a hot pan for about 30 seconds per side. They puff up and taste incredible. Corn tortillas offer an authentic, slightly sweet flavor and are amazing when quickly charred on a gas stove or in a hot pan. Hard Shells give you that classic, satisfying crunch.
  • The Protein: While the recipes below give you tons of options, don’t be afraid to mix it up! Pick from seasoned ground beef, shredded chicken, spicy chorizo, or black beans for a great veggie option.
  • The Toppings (The Best Part!): Get creative with a taco bar! Set out bowls of lettuce, tomatoes, onions, cilantro, jalapeños, cheese, sour cream, salsa, and guacamole!
