Tips For Making Perfect Brownie Cookies
Underbake the cookies
When the cookies come out of the oven they should still be super soft. When cooling down at room temperature, cookies will continue to bake, firming up within minutes. However, they will keep their soft texture because of this.
How To Make Your Cookies Super Fudgy
Use lots of cocoa powder and high quality chocolate chips. These elements will combine to create amazing 'fudginess'.
Customise This Recipe
Add melted biscoff or peanut butter on top or bake it inside. I did this, adding an extra flavour to the palette.

Ingredients
Cookie Dough:
- 220 g all-purpose flour
- 25 g cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon ground coffee
- Pinch of salt
- 120 g brown sugar
- 100 g vegan butter room temperature
- 70 g plain dairy free yogurt* room temperature (see notes)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3.5 tablespoons soy milk room temperature
- 150 g chocolate chips
Topping:
- Lotus Biscoff spread optional
Instructions
Preparation:
- Preheat oven to 177 Celsius (350F).
- Line 2 medium baking trays with parchment paper. Set aside.
Make the cookie dough:
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, add your all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, ground coffee and salt. Set aside.
- In another medium mixing bowl, use a wooden spoon to cream together the brown sugar with the room temperature vegan butter. Alternatively, you can use a stand mixer to do this using the paddle attachment.
- Next, add in the room temperature dairy free yogurt, vanilla extract and the soy milk. Mix.
- Now, sift the dry mixture into the vegan butter mixture then fold it in until almost all the flour has been mixed in. When there is only a little bit of flour remaining, stop folding the cookie dough.
- Finally, fold in your chocolate chips. Fold in that final bit of flour that remains.
- Using a cookie scoop or an ice cream scoop, scoop 1 tablespoon of cookie dough per cookie onto the lined baking trays.
- Use your hands to roll the scoops of cookie dough into smooth balls.
- Place your cookie dough balls at least 2-3cm apart on the lined large baking trays so that they don’t overlap each other in the oven when they flatten out. If your oven only has room for one tray, bake one set of cookies at a time.
Bake the cookies:
- Bake the cookie dough balls in the centre of the oven for 12 minutes. The edges of the cookies should become golden brown.
- After taking the cookies out of the oven, let them cool for 10 minutes.
- Add melted Biscoff spread on top if you wish.
Notes
- You can substitute the dairy free yogurt for unsweetened apple sauce.

Hi
How much and where can I add the biscoff spread or peanut butter?
How can I make these cookies crispy?
Vegan Treats Blogger says
Those are optional but when you scoop the cookie dough into balls, give them a little press and add a little biscoff or PB into the centre. Then cover it with some more cookie dough. The time advised in the recipe makes the edges crispy. Leave them in the oven for a couple extra minutes and they should become a little crispier. They continue to crisp up after leaving the oven anyway 🙂
