Brownie Cutout Cookies Recipes

BROWNIE COOKIES

Steps:

• In a small mixing bowl combine flour and baking powder.
• Beat oil, sugar, and cocoa together in a large mixing bowl. Add eggs to oil and cocoa mixture one egg at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in vanilla. Mix in flour mixture. Fold in nuts if desired. Chill the dough overnight.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease cookie sheet.
• Roll dough into walnut-size balls and roll each ball in confectioners' sugar.
• Bake cookies for 12 to 15 minutes.

BROWNIE COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper.
• Put the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and melt it in the microwave. Stir and let cool.
• Using an electric mixer, mix together the sugar and butter in a large bowl until totally combined. With the mixer on low, slowly drizzle in the cooled chocolate. Scrape the bowl and mix again. Mix in the eggs one at a time, then the vanilla. Scrape the bowl once more and mix.
• Combine the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt in a bowl and stir it together. Add it in scoops to the mixing bowl with the mixer on low. Scrape the bowl once and mix one final time until all combined.
• Scoop generous tablespoons of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, then bake until the cookies are poufy and set, 11 to 12 minutes. Let them sit on the baking sheet for 1 to 2 minutes, then remove them to a wire rack to cool completely. Repeat with the remaining dough.
• Once cool, sprinkle generously with powdered sugar.

BROWNIE ROLL-OUT COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven at 350 degrees. Whisk dry flour, salt and baking powder in bowl and set aside. Mix butter, sugar, eggs, vanilla and cocoa in mixer. Gradually add flour mixture, and mix until smooth. Wrap in plastic and chill for at least one hour.
• Roll out cookie dough on floured counter. Cut into desired shapes, brushing extra deposits of flour off the top. (It does disappear once baked, though, so don't overly fret if they go into the oven looking white.) Bake on a parchment-lined baking sheet for 8 to 11 minutes (the former for 1/8-inch thick cookies, the latter for 1/4-inch cookies) until the edges are firm and the centers are slightly soft and puffed.
• Transfer to a wire rack to cool.

BROWNIE CUTOUT COOKIES

Steps:

• In a bowl, combine the flour, salt and baking powder, mix well and set aside.
• In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar well. Add the eggs and vanilla and mix well.
• Stir in the cocoa powder until well blended. Be careful because the cocoa powder has a tendency to puff all over until it's incorpoated.
• Add in the flour mixture until well-blended.n Stir in nuts, if using.
• Wrap the dough in plastic and refrigerate at last one hour, or until firm. You may want to separate it into two sections and wrap separately to keep one refrigerated while you work on the other.
• Preheat oven to 350. Cover cookie sheets with parchment paper or spray with non-stick spray.
• Roll out the cookies and cut into your desired shapes and thickness, using cocoa powder or flour to dust the work surface (and rollling pin if needed) to keep the dough from sticking.
• Place the cookies onto the prepared cookie sheets and bake for about 8-10 minutes depending on the size and thickness of the cookies. They should feel slightly firm to the touch.
• Let the cookies sit a minute on the sheet to firm up, then place on a rack to cool.
• NOTE: I like to roll out the cookies on a piece of waxed paper. Before removing the cookies from the work surface to the cookie sheets, I will put the whole sheet of waxed paper on a cookie sheet and put it in the freezer for 5 minutes. I can then remove the cookies without them breaking or stretching.

GINGERBREAD BROWNIE CUTOUTS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F. Line 13x9-inch pan with foil, letting foil hang 2 inches over sides of pan. Spray foil with cooking spray. In large bowl, mix brownie mix, water, oil, eggs, ginger and cinnamon until well blended. Spread in pan.
• Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until toothpick inserted 2 inches from side of pan comes out clean. Transfer to cooling rack to cool completely, about 1 hour. Freeze in pan 30 minutes.
• Using foil to lift, remove brownies from pan, and peel foil away. Cut out 8 gingerbread men using 3-inch gingerbread man cookie cutter. Gently push brownie out of cutter each time. Set aside end pieces for snacking. If cutter gets sticky, wipe clean with damp paper towel before cutting again.
• Decorate each gingerbread man with cookie icing; place candies for buttons. Let stand about 30 minutes or until icing is set. Store covered in airtight container at room temperature with waxed paper between layers.
