- 2 ½ tablespoon white sugar caster or fine granulated
- 1 ¼ teaspoon orange extract
- 3 tablespoon spiced rum

- Heat the chocolate and butter in the microwave until melted and smooth.
- Beat the eggs and sugar until fluffy and combined.

- 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.

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).
- 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.
