Tips to Make Brownie Cookies

Looking to up your Brownie Cookie game? Here are some tips:

1. Use room temperature eggs for a smoother batter.
2. Add nuts for that crunchy texture if you like the contrast.
3. Want a more intense chocolate flavor? Swap half of the cocoa powder for dark chocolate cocoa.
