Salted Brownie Cookies are everything you need in a cookie that you didn’t even know you needed.

Brownies + Cookies = Everything

Salted Brownie Cookies are everything you love about brownies but packaged in a cute little cookie. They are rich, fudgy, chocolate yumminess with the perfect hint of salt and crackle crust.

What is your favorite part of brownies? For me it is the shiny, crackle top. There is just something so decadent about it, especially in this cookie. It is holds together all the chocolate goodness making each bite just PERFECT!

Sprinkle of Salt

The shiny shell is not the only thing that makes these cookies something to remember… there is also the bit of salt in each bite. For me I love a little salt with my sweet. I am the one who always adds M&M’s to my movie popcorn, there is just something so satisfying about the combo.

For these cookies I went with a course sea salt to not add the salty bite but also a bit of crunch. You could use regular table salt or pink salt or even a smoky salt… whatever you have on hand will work.

Sprinkle Always!

To make these cookies even more special you can add on some seasonal sprinkles. With Valentines just a round the corner I went with a fun Valentines Sprinkle Mix. I love the different size hearts and colors.

You could use a fun spring mix for Easter or stars for the 4th and of course leaves for fall. There are just so many options. Even if you are not making them for a special holiday they are delicious on their own with the hint of salt.

Time to Bake!
