These chewy and fudgy brownie batter cookies are so indulgent and taste just like brownies in the form of cookies, not to mention the recipe is eggless. They are easy to bake and need simple pantry ingredients to prepare.

I first made these on a Ninja Bake Along during covid and it was such a winner. The original recipe was made with eggs and there were so many who wanted an eggless option – hence this recipe came into existence. Having said this, I must admit from then to now I have made this recipe countless times, at least twice a month! They are so simple to mix up and very easy to bake. Most brownie batter cookies need to chilled before baking however this one doesn’t need that, it is absolutely fuss free.

As this recipe doesn’t have eggs, you do not need to beat air into the mixture and create the pale texture etc. I would suggest doubling the batter as they will vanish before you know it. They are delicious warm with a little sea salt flake sprinkle on top – serve it with milk and you are good to go! So with no more waiting let us get to the recipe.

What equipment do you need to make these eggless brownie batter cookies?

We need a whisk and mixing bowl to make the batter.

A metal spatula helps transfer them from the baking tray to a wire rack to finish cooling.

How to make these eggless brownie batter cookies?

Preheat the oven to 180℃, line a baking tray with baking paper and set aside. In a mixing bowl add the water, oil and sugar – whisk until sugar is dissolved around 3-4 minutes. Pour the melted cooled chocolate into the mixture and whisk again until smooth. Add the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, salt and whisk to combine, at this point you can switch to a rubber spatula. Using a table spoon portion out the batter onto the baking tray and do not over crowd them as it will spread as they bake. I like leave 2-3 inches space between the cookies, you can bake them in batches if needed. Bake for 9-10 minutes or until the top is crinkled and the edges are firm, the center might still be a little soft and that is fine as it will finish baking in the residual heat. Allow them to cool on the baking tray for 3-5 minutes, hit them with sea salt flakes now. Using a metal spatula to transfer them to a wire rack to finish cooling.

Serving these brownie batter cookies?

Storing these brownie batter cookies?

The beauty about these cookies are, you can store it in air tight containers at room temperature or even in zip lock bags for up to 4 days. You can also store them in the fridge for up to 10 days but they will firm up – hence I would suggest allowing them to come to room temperature before serving and eating so that they still have their sift, chewy and fudgy texture.
