• Preheat oven to 180ºC/160°C fan-forced. Melt the butter in the microwave or in a small saucepan. • To a large bowl, add the eggs, chocolate brownie mix, the melted butter and a pinch of salt. Mix until well combined. • Add half the dark chocolate chips and mix until combined. Refrigerate for 20 minutes.
TIP: Refrigerating the dough helps the cookies spread less when baking.
• While the dough is cooling, to a large bowl, add cream cheese and icing sugar (see ingredients). • Using electric beaters, beat, until well combined and smooth, 1-2 minutes. • Add thickened cream and beat, until soft peaks form and mixture is glossy, 3-4 minutes. Refrigerate and set aside.
TIP: For maximum volume, chill both your bowl and cream before whipping.
• Once the dough has cooled, using damp hands, roll tablespoonfuls of cookie dough into balls. You should get 14-16 cookies. • Place dough balls on two lined oven trays, allowing room for spreading. • Bake for 16-18 minutes or until golden. Allow cookies to cool on trays for 5 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
TIP: Allow 5cm of space between each cookie to ensure they don't stick together!
• Transfer brownie cookies to a serving plate or platter. • Using a spoon, smear a dollop of cream cheese frosting down the centre of the cookie in the shape of a ghost. Top with remaining dark chocolate chips as eyes for the ghost. Enjoy!
TIP: Store any leftover cookies in an airtight container for up to 2-3 days!
