Ingredients

2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon salt

3/4 teaspoon baking soda

2 sticks unsalted butter, at room temperature

3/4 cup packed light brown sugar

3/4 cup granulated sugar

2 large eggs, at room temperature

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

2 1/2 cups cubed fudgy brownies (about 1/2-inch cubes)

Directions

  1. Whisk together the flour, salt and baking soda in a medium bowl.
  2. Combine the butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar in a large bowl and beat with a mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then beat in the vanilla. Reduce the mixer speed to low and beat in the flour mixture until combined. Stir in 1 cup of the brownie cubes with a wooden spoon.
  3. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line 3 baking sheets with parchment paper. Scoop 1/4 cupfuls of dough onto one of the baking sheets (no need to space out the cookies at this point; you’ll do that after refrigerating). Press the remaining 1 1/2 cups brownie cubes into the cookies, flattening them slightly. Refrigerate the cookies until firm, about 20 minutes.
  4. Divide the cookies among the baking sheets, 5 or 6 cookies per sheet (they will spread when baked). Bake the cookies 2 pans at a time, rotating the pans halfway through, until golden brown around the edges and set in the centers, 12 to 16 minutes. Let the cookies cool 10 minutes on the pans, then transfer to racks to cool completely.
