BLACK BOTTOM BROWNIE COOKIES



Black Bottom Brownie Cookies image

An overnight freeze solidifies classic brownie batter (in this case, one of the all-time greats: Alice Medrich's best cocoa brownies) into something entirely different-a scoopable cookie dough that holds its shape when rolled and then transforms into fudgy, chubby cookies in the oven. These have a tangy, chocolate-flecked cream cheese filling, which is also frozen to ensure that it doesn't run or leak as the cookies bake.

Yield Makes 20

Number Of Ingredients 15

Dough
1 cup plus 2 Tbsp. (225 g) sugar
3/4 cup plus 2 Tbsp. (80 g) unsweetened cocoa powder
10 Tbsp. unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
3/4 tsp. kosher salt
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
2 cold large eggs
1/2 cup (65 g) all-purpose flour
Filling and Assembly
3 Tbsp. (42 g) sugar
1 1/2 tsp. (6 g) cornstarch
1/4 tsp. kosher salt
4 oz. cream cheese, room temperature
1 1/4 oz. chopped bittersweet chocolate (about 1/4 cup)
Flaky sea salt

Steps:

  • Dough
  • Heat sugar, cocoa, butter, and kosher salt in a medium heatproof bowl set over a medium pot of barely simmering water (do not let bowl touch water), stirring occasionally, until butter is melted and mixture is hot enough that you want to remove your finger fairly quickly after dipping it in to test, about 15 minutes. (Don't worry if it looks gritty.) Let cool until mixture is warm, not hot, about 5 minutes.
  • Stir in vanilla with a wooden spoon. Add eggs one at a time, stirring vigorously after each addition, until mixture looks thick and glossy. Add flour and mix until combined, then beat vigorously with wooden spoon or a rubber spatula until shiny and homogenous, about 1 minute.
  • Cover bowl with plastic wrap and freeze at least 8 hours or up to overnight.
  • Filling and Assembly
  • Whisk sugar, cornstarch, and kosher salt to combine in a small bowl.
  • Using an electric mixer on medium-high speed, beat cream cheese in a large bowl until smooth. Add sugar mixture and continue to beat until well combined. Fold in chocolate. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and freeze until very firm, at least 8 hours or up to overnight.
  • Place racks in top and bottom thirds of oven; preheat to 350°F. Line two rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats. Let dough sit at room temperature 5-10 minutes.
  • Using a spoon dipped in hot water, scoop 20 balls of dough (about 1 1/2 Tbsp. each) and roll into smooth balls with your hands. Using your thumb, make an imprint in center of ball, then fill each indent with about 1 tsp. cream cheese filling. Using your fingers, flatten edges of dough to about a 3" circle with the filling in the middle (like you're making a dumpling). Fold dough over filling to cover completely; pinch to seal. Arrange on prepared sheets, spacing at least 3" apart. For best results, freeze dough 10 minutes.
  • Bake cookies, rotating pans halfway through, until edges are set and firm (the centers may be a little shiny and wet-looking), 12-14 minutes. Sprinkle cookies with sea salt while still warm, then let cool on baking sheets until firm. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool completely.
  • Do Ahead: Cookies can be baked 2 days ahead. Store in an airtight container and chill. Assembled unbaked cookies can be made 2 months ahead. Freeze on baking sheets, then transfer to freezer bags and keep frozen.

Valuable Tips for Making Amy's Black Bottom Brownies If you are like many people, then you likely enjoy indulging in a sweet treat every now and then. Whether you are making something for a special occasion or simply enjoy baking, consider trying out Amy's Black Bottom Brownies. Follow these valuable tips to help ensure that your brownies turn out perfectly. #1: Measure Carefully Measuring ingredients carefully is one of the most important things that you can do when making any recipe. Brownies require specific measurements of ingredients such as flour, sugar, and cocoa powder, and measuring each ingredient accurately will ensure that your brownies bake properly. Be sure to use measuring spoons and cups for dry ingredients and a glass measuring cup for liquids. #2: Melt The Butter And Chocolate Together Instead of melting the butter and chocolate separately for this recipe, it's best to combine them in a single bowl. This will help ensure that the chocolate and butter melt evenly and smoothly. Once the butter and chocolate have melted together, add in the other ingredients one by one and mix well. #3: Use the Right Pan When you bake brownies, it's important to use the right pan to ensure that your brownies cook evenly. For Amy's Black Bottom Brownies, a square 8-by-8-inch baking dish works best. Make sure that the pan is greased properly or lined with parchment paper before adding the brownie batter. #4: Mix Ingredients Just Enough While it's important to mix the ingredients together thoroughly, you don't want to overmix the batter. Overmixing can cause the brownies to become tough or rubbery. Mix the batter just enough to ensure that all ingredients are incorporated. #5: Add Sour Cream for Moisture One added ingredient that helps make Amy's Black Bottom Brownies moist and delicious is sour cream. The sour cream adds additional moisture to the brownie batter, which can help to prevent them from becoming dry and crumbly. Be sure to add the sour cream slowly and mix thoroughly. #6: Use Good Quality Chocolate Chocolate plays a huge role in the taste and texture of your brownies. For the best results with this recipe, it's recommended that you use high-quality chocolate. Look for chocolate that has a higher percentage of cocoa solids for a richer, more intense flavor. #7: Cool Before Cutting Once your brownies are baked, it's important to cool them before cutting. This will help the brownies set up properly and prevent them from falling apart when you cut them. Let the brownies cool in the pan for at least 30 minutes, then carefully remove them from the pan and cut into desired sizes. With these tips in mind, you can be confident in creating a delicious batch of Amy's Black Bottom Brownies. Remember to take your time and measure your ingredients carefully for the best results.
