It's the Holiday Season, it's Winters and it's December - all good things together (not to miss the weddings). In this festive mood chocolate indulgence is a-must to really feeeel that goodness. Relaxing in a cozy corner with a mug of chai (read your favorite hot drink) and these soft baked, moist and fudgelicious cookies with chocolate chunks, Chocolate Chunk Brownie Cookies - is my kind of celebrating winters.
I'm not into baking as such, but in winters you feel like having all those freshly-baked warm cakes and cookies, and baking it yourself is the best thing to do. These Chocolate Chunk Brownie Cookies are so easy to make that it can be a fun holiday activity with your kids.
Chocolate, brownies and chocolate chunks all together in one cookie is a celebration in itself. Everyone loves brownies and when it's equally good in a cookie form, it's a marriage made in heaven. And that crackled top is a vision in itself and the way your entire home fills with bakelicious-chocolatey aroma, it's heavenly!
These are the yummiest, bestest cookies you'll ever have. I made a batch for my work friends and they all loved it so much that these were gone in no time at all. So bring on those aprons and get baking.

Preheat the oven to 177°C (350°F)and line baking tray with parchment paper
In a bowl over simmering water (double boiler method) melt together butter and chocolate chips. Stirring frequently until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly
In another bowl whisk together flour, salt and baking powder
Beat egg, sugars and cocoa powder using an electric mixer on high until the mixture is thick and doubles in volume (about 4-5 minutes)
Reduce the speed to medium and combine chocolate mixture with the egg-sugar mixture. Now add to it vanilla extract
Reduce the speed to low and add flour mix all at once. Mix until well combined.
Fold in the chocolate chunks.
Using a tablespoon or a cookie scoop, scoop out heaping tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet
Bake until the top is crackly and edges are set( about 10-15 minutes). Remove from the oven and let cool for 1-2 minutes on the baking sheet. Then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely
Notes
These cookies can be stored in a air-tight jar for 2-3 weeks
