Heat the chocolate and butter in the microwave until melted and smooth.
Beat the eggs and sugar until fluffy and combined.
Add in the chocolate mixture to the egg mixture, then add in the orange extract and rum and stir until smooth.
Sieve in the flour, baking powder and cocoa powder, then add the cinnamon, nutmeg and salt, stirring together until just combined.
Stir in the chocolate chips until only just spread evenly throughout.
Using a tablespoon (or ¼ cup scoop), spoon the brownie mix onto a lined baking tray, leaving a few inches between scoops and bake for 10-12mins until risen and a papery texture on top.
Allow the brownie cookies to cool on the tray before moving them and enjoy!
Storage: Store your cookies in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
Freezing: You can freeze your cookies in an airtight container for up to 2 months.
Substitutions:
- Swap the plain flour for self-raising flour and exclude the baking powder.
- You can swap the rum for another spirit like whisky or bourbon.
- Instead of the spices in this recipe, you can swap them all for ¼ teaspoon of an all-spice blend (e.g. pumpkin spice).
Tips:
- Use dark semi-sweet chocolate from the baking aisle for ease of melting.
- The cookies will spread as they bake so leave a few inches of space between scoops on the tray.
- Let the brownie cookies cool on the tray before moving them so they don't break.
- Sprinkle a few flakes of sea salt on top of your brownie cookies when they come out of the oven.
