How to Store Gourmet Brownie Cookies

Tips to Make Gourmet Brownie Cookies
- Make sure the butter is softened to room temperature for easy mixing.
- Do not overmix once you add the flour to keep the cookies light and chewy.
- For extra texture and flavor, try adding nuts or using different types of chocolate chips.
Variation
You can vary the flavor by adding mint chocolate chips, white chocolate chips, or even a sprinkle of sea salt on top before baking. This can give your cookies an interesting twist.
FAQs
1. Can I use margarine instead of butter?
Yes, you can substitute margarine for unsalted butter, but it may change the flavor slightly.
2. What can I use instead of eggs?
For a vegan option, you can use flax eggs. Mix 1 tablespoon of ground flaxseed with 2.5 tablespoons of water, let it sit for a few minutes, and then add it to your mixture.
3. Can I make these cookies gluten-free?
Yes, you can replace the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend. Make sure it’s a 1:1 baking flour for best results.
