How to make Brownie Sundae Cookies

Ingredients:

1 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 cup brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Ice cream for topping
Maraschino cherries for garnish

Directions:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, mix the melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until well combined.
Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
In another bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined.
Fold in the chocolate chips.
Drop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each cookie.
Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are firm but the center is still soft.
Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool slightly on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack.
Once the cookies are cool, top each one with a scoop of ice cream and a cherry.
