BROWNIE COOKIES

I love to eat a good brownie. Sadly, I have yet to make a good brownie. For some reason all of my brownie efforts end in disaster — usually way too thick, and almost always over-baked. Brownies are not difficult to make, but for some reason I struggle with it. It’s incredibly annoying. So, when I came across this recipe for Brownie Cookies, I thought it was the perfect opportunity to bring my brownie curse to an end…

Not wanting to mess with things too much due to my brownie issues, I decided to follow the recipe and directions exactly (which I almost never do). This way, surely the cookies would turn out just as perfect as they did in the magazine pictures, right?? Wrong.

The first batch of these guys did not turn out well (understatement). The batter was REALLY thin. I mean, it was basically brownie batter (aka cake batter), and not at all solid like cookie dough. So when the recipe said to “shape the batter into balls” I knew I’d royally effed up another brownie recipe. Again!
