Baked into a classic cookie shape, and packed with a deep chocolate flavor, these brownies with a twist are sure to be a crowd favorite at any gathering. This recipe requires minimal equipment and experience, which makes it perfect for any skill level to make in the kitchen. Without further ado, onto the recipe!

Step one:

Preheat your oven to 325° degrees Fahrenheit.

Step two:

In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt.

Step three:

With a wooden spoon or rubber spatula, mix butter and sugars in a separate large bowl until combined and smooth.

Step four:

Add vanilla and eggs to the butter mixture. Make sure to mix each egg one at a time and thoroughly.

Step five:

Place the dry ingredients into the bowl with butter, and mix until combined. After the dough is formed, add in chocolate chips.

Step six:

Roll dough into two-inch balls, and place on a baking sheet with two inches of space between each.

Step seven:

Bake for 9 to12 minutes; try not to overbake them. When done baking, let them cool outside of the oven for five minutes, then enjoy!
