These cookies are a perfect Valentine’s day treat and the best part is they are so completely easy to make! As I was making these over the weekend I was also making the Chocolate Molten Lava Cakes and the funniest part was how similar these recipes are. If you haven’t checked out that recipe you really need to, it is the perfect Valentine’s Day dessert!

The batter for these cookies will seem super liquidy at first, but by the time they come out of the fridge they will have the consistency of chocolate fudge. I just scooped them with a coffee scoop and rolled them into little balls. While the first 6 were cooking, I put the other balls of batter in the fridge to keep them cool.

When they come out of the oven they will look like little puffs, even more so than the picture below. By the time they cool they will just look like a delicious thick cookie. The real treat you’re in for is how much like a brownie they taste! Fudgy, crackly and chewy all at the same time. The outside is chewy while the middle of the cookie just melts into your mouth.

Looking to make other cookies for your favorite valentines? Or possibly a kick butt bake sale you need to prepare for? Here is a running tally of other cookies from the blog.

I mean c’mon, check out that fudgy cookie! The lighter coloring on the bottom third of it is the crispier part of the cookie.

  1. These look and sound so scrumptious that I just have to try them! I have a question first, though. ?
    How long do you leave them on the cookie sheet before removing to a rack for cooling? I don’t want them falling apart when I move them, but I also don’t want them over cooked and I know they continue to bake for a bit when left on the cookie sheet.
    Thanks!

    1. So sorry, this comment got snared in the spam filter somehow! I left them for about five minutes and used a flat spatula to remove them from the pan. They were cool enough to come off without any damage. Also, if you’d like you can use a silpat, then there is no way you’d have any cookie collateral damage.

  2. OMG, look at that perfect crinkly top of the cookie!! These sound like a perfect marriage of cookie and brownie. They look soooo good!

  3. Sabrina, these remind me so much of the cookies my best friend’s mom used to make. You could smell them baking down the block! I’ll have to give yours a try now. :o)

  4. Brownies are my go to dessert because they are rich and fudgy! I always love to eat the edges since they have the chewy AND the crispy factor. These are the perfect blend and I can eat the whole batch, not just the edges:)
