What is the best kind of chocolate to use for Fudgy Brownie Cookies?
For these cookies, I opted for semi-sweet chocolate but you could just as easily use dark chocolate if that's what you have on hand. I would avoid milk chocolate as I think the end results might be too sweet.
Can you make these cookies smaller?
Absolutely! For the holidays, I always prefer a BIG cookie so I used an ice cream scoop that is 2.25 inch diameter. However, if you wanted smaller cookies, you could easily use a smaller cookie scoop. You'll need to adjust your bake time accordingly.
Can I skip the salt on top?
For sure; it's just a matter of preference. I think that a little flaked sea salt really helps to enhance the chocolatey flavor of these cookies and I also really love any food with a sweet/salty taste. However, if you want to skip the salt, they will still be absolutely delicious.

I’ve made these before and they turned out perfectly. I’m making them again for a friend, but they won’t be eaten right away. How long will they last in a container?
