Let’s Make it together

The journey to cookie nirvana begins now. Get ready for some chocolaty magic.

Prep Your Kitchen Space: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) while you gather your ingredients—a cozy aroma is just around the corner.

Cream Together Sugars and Butter: In a large bowl, mix softened butter with granulated and brown sugar until fluffy—this should take about three minutes.

Add Eggs and Vanilla: Crack in both eggs one at a time while whisking in vanilla extract until everything is well combined—your mixture should be smooth and shiny.

Sift Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, sift together cocoa powder, flour, baking soda, and salt. This step ensures no lumps sneak into your batter.

Create Your Dough: Gradually mix dry ingredients into the wet mixture until combined. Don’t overdo it—stop when you see no more flour streaks.

Add Chocolate Chips and Sprinkles: Fold in chocolate chips and rainbow sprinkles gently; this keeps those delightful bits intact as they bake into your cosmic masterpiece.

Scoop onto Baking Sheet: Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded portions onto lined baking sheets about two inches apart—trust me; they spread out nicely.

Bake Until Perfect: Pop those beauties in the oven for 10-12 minutes; keep an eye on them until edges are set but centers remain soft.

Let them cool on the tray before transferring them to a wire rack because patience is key—it’ll be worth it when you bite into one warm.

These Cosmic Brownie Cookies encapsulate all that is good about desserts. They blend textures so well as you enjoy the soft chewiness paired with bursts of melted chocolate goodness. So go ahead; bake these little wonders today—they’re bound to become your new favorite indulgence.
