Ingredients:
- Unsalted butter – at room temperature
- White sugar
- Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- Espresso powder
- Mars chocolate Bars – chopped.
- Large eggs
- All-purpose flour
- Baking soda
- Salt
- Vanilla extract
Tools:
- Wooden spoon or whisk
- Cookie sheet
- Wire Rack
Directions:
First of all pre-heat the oven to 350ºF {180ºC}
In a large bowl, put the butter and the chocolate chips and take them to the microwave for 2-3 minutes {depending on your microwave potency}.
About half time stir and put it back.
It should be ready when it’s completely melted and smooth.
If you don’t have a microwave you can always go for “bain-marie or double bath” {hot water bath}.
Then pour the sugar, salt, and vanilla into the melted chocolate mix and stir well.
Let it cool for a few minutes so it doesn’t cook the eggs.
Then start adding the eggs. These should be added one at a time mixing well until they are completely incorporated.
Then add the flour and baking soda and stir strongly with preferably a wooden spoon. It gets very hard so you have to put a lot into it.
Mix until the cookie dough is smooth and shiny – don’t overmix.
Lastly, add the mars bar chunks and mix.
On a prepared baking sheet with butter or parchment paper and place about a spoon per cookie.
Make sure to leave space (about 1-2 inches apart) so that when they grow, they don’t stick together.
Bake for about 10-12 minutes or until you see them slightly cracked and puffed up.
Take them out so they still are soft and gooey. The key here is to slightly underbake them.
Let the cookies cool for a few minutes on the hot cookie sheet, then transfer them to a cooling rack.
That one on the left got the Mars chunk melted and came out, Oh my! Yummmm!
They will get thinner and a bit crunchier on the outside when they cool down but are still soft inside and with melted caramel from the Mars chocolate bars.
I love eating them fresh right off the cookie sheet so they are still a bit warm and gooey…. drooling here!
Baking Tips
As with most brownies, the crucial step to making sure that your brownies are amazing and not ordinary is to slightly underbake them so that the centers are a bit gooey.
Use a size 40 cookie scoop and space the dough balls about 1-2 inches apart from each other.
Don’t overbake the cookies since overbaking will make the centers less fudgy and drier.
I use and recommend semi-sweet chocolate, but you can use bittersweet or unsweetened chocolate for a much darker flavor.
Variations and alternatives
Instead of the Mars Chocolate bars, you can use Chocolate chips, white chocolate chips, peanut butter chips and even add in your favorite nuts.
Make Ahead, Storing, and Freezing
When cool store the cookies in an airtight container or Ziplock bag at room temperature for 4-5 days.
To freeze the dough, form it into balls and flash freeze until firm on a baking sheet. Transfer to an airtight container or Ziplock bag and freeze for up to 3 months. Let the dough thaw in the fridge and bake.
It’s delicious!!!!
What do you think???? Want to try?????
Frequently Asked Questions
While I haven’t had this happen to me, I can recommend letting the dough rest in the refrigerator for 30-40 minutes before scooping your cookies to prevent them from spreading too much.
Yes, you definitely can! Follow along with most of the mix box instructions but you’ll need a little extra flour, a leavening agent, and a few other ingredients to turn brownie mix into cookies!
I like to store these brownie batter cookies in an airtight container for 4-5 days. You can store them on the counter or in the fridge!
