Ingredients

  • cups dark chocolate semi-sweet
  • ¼ cups unsalted butter
  • 1 egg
  • cups light brown soft sugar
  • 2 ½ tablespoon white sugar caster or fine granulated
  • 1 ¼ teaspoon orange extract
  • 3 tablespoon spiced rum
  • ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 pinch nutmeg
  • 1 pinch salt
  • ½ cups all-purpose plain flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
  • cups milk chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Preheat oven: 180°C / 160°C (fan) / Gas Mark 4 / 350°F
  • 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!

Notes

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.
