Bittersweet chocolate chips: We melt 60% cacao bittersweet chocolate baking chips into the buttery base.
Butter: The unsalted butter in this recipe operates like an emulsifier—stabilizing the fat and the liquids—resulting in a tender cookie.
Eggs: We rely on eggs to help leaven and form the shape of these chocolate brownie cookies.
Sugar: The sugar imparts sweet notes into these brownie cookies while caramelizing their edges.
Vanilla extract: We add a splash of vanilla extract to help enhance the sweetness of the chocolate in these brownie cookies.
Petunias: Pretty petunias are popular because of their exceptionally long flowering period. As with most annuals, they get leggy by midsummer, so you’ll want to prune the shoots back by half. See more tips on planting and caring for petunias to keep them blooming.
