I hope you guys like chocolate. If not, maybe you should be reading about these Double Lemon Glazed Cookies instead. Just making sure we are on the same page.
These intensely yummy chocolate chocolate chip cookies with walnuts are essentially chocolate brownies made in drop cookie form, hence the title Chocolate Brownie Cookies.
They are thick, soft cookies and while you can totally leave the walnuts out if you want to, I never, ever do because I’m obsessed with walnuts in my brownies, and hence, my chewy brownie cookies!
I have been making these fudgy chocolate brownie cookies for years! They are one of my family’s favorite cookies and one of my go-to recipes for bake sales or sharing with friends.
It’s one of those recipes that I always get asked about whenever I show up with a batch of these cookies at a social function like a reunion, church activity, or other gathering, so I figure it is high-time I share the recipe for these fun and delicious cookies here with you!
Chocolate brownie cookies are soft and chewy, thanks to the brown sugar in the recipe, which not only gives a deeper flavor thanks to the molasses content in the brown sugar, but also adds that wonderful chewy texture that really takes a good cookie over the top.
These chewy brownie cookies are super fudgy and gooey on the inside too, just like any good brownie should be, but you don’t have to go through the bother of melting chocolate to get there. Rather than melting chocolate for the cookie dough, I use cocoa powder and chocolate chips to amp up the chocolate flavor and brownie-ness of these cookies.
And can I just say that I love that you don’t have to chill the dough or take any extra measures with this chocolate cookie dough? I hate when things like time and extra effort get between me and cookie satisfaction.
You can eat these just as they are straight out of the oven.
Or for a little extra sweetness, one thing we love to do is dust these fudgy brownie cookies with powered sugar after they are done baking.
My girls especially enjoy helping with this because they like using the sifter to “make it snow” on the cookies.

Notes
- Chilling the dough isn’t required but it does help them bake up slightly thicker and spread a bit less.
