Brownie Drop Cookies are a delightful twist on traditional brownies, combining chewy cookie goodness with rich chocolate flavors. The treats are perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth and are sure to be a hit at any gathering.
If you’re looking to make the cookies gluten-free, a 1-to-1 gluten-free flour blend works well. For those with nut allergies, simply omit the walnuts or pecans, or substitute with seeds like sunflower seeds for a similar crunch. As for chocolate, quality chocolate chips can make a significant difference in flavor, so opt for a brand you love.

Brownie Drop Cookies Recipe
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 1 cup chopped walnuts or 1 cup pecans
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a cookie sheet with foil and coat it with nonstick spray.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup of all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder until well blended.
- In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt 4 tablespoons of butter along with 1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips, stirring as needed until smooth.
- Remove the saucepan from heat and whisk in 1/2 cup of packed light brown sugar, followed by 2 large eggs and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until the mixture is well combined.
- Scrape the chocolate mixture into the flour mixture and stir until smooth. Gently fold in the remaining 1/2 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips, 1 cup of white chocolate chips, and your choice of nuts.
- Let the batter stand for 5 to 10 minutes to thicken slightly. Using a 1/4 cup measure, drop cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 12 minutes, or until the cookies are puffed and shiny.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the foil for 1 to 2 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
