3 Ingredient Brownie Cookies

By 14 Comments

The other day, I was having one of those days that only a brownie and tall glass of milk could fix.  However, I looked in the cupboard and didn’t have any brownie mix!  Ugh, it definitely was one of those days.  But desperate times call for desperate measures so I HAD to make some brownies.  Well, you know that brownies are basically eggs, oil, flour, sugar, and cocoa, right?  After searching my pantry and my refrigerator, I grabbed 3 items and created….Brownie Cookies!

Don’t those cookies look nice and fudgy?  And thank goodness!  If I didn’t get my fix, I don’t know what I would have done. Perhaps you would have seen me on the news.  You know, something like.

Luckily, it didn’t come down to that.   Now the three ingredients you need are a chocolate hazelnut spread like Nutella, an egg, and flour!  Yup, that’s it and this is so easy.  When you mix the batter may seem a bit thick and almost dry…don’t worry.  It will work out well.  After mixing the batter you will drop it (by tablespoons) onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, or a silpat mat like so.

I got mine to be ball shaped by using a cookie scoop.  Anyway, see how the batter has some “lines” in it.  That’s how it will look.  Then, you just pop them in a preheated oven and bake for 10 minutes.  Just like brownies, they will be soft when they come out of the oven.  Then as they cool, the outside will firm up a bit….kind of like an “edge” brownie.  I love mine served with a cold glass of milk.
