Brownie Cookies

November 19, 2012 By Betsy Cohen

A Really Good Cookie

Brownie CookiesI borrowed the book, The Meatball Shop Cookbook by Daniel Holzman & Michael Chernow, from my friend Ellen about a month ago. Ellen told me that she had made a vegetable recipe from the book that was fabulous and thought the dessert section, also, looked yummy.

I brought the book home and looked through it many times over the next couple of weeks, making mental notes about the various recipes I wanted to try. Unfortunately, the last few weeks have been very hectic, which meant that my mental notes never became realities.

That is until this weekend, when I decided that I absolutely needed to have a chocolate option for Thanksgiving, but one that would be easy to make. The Brownie Cookies sounded like they would fit the description perfectly. And they did!

With 7 cups of chocolate chips per batch there is no question that the cookies will be chocolaty enough. The question then became, would they be close enough to a brownie texture?

I made the mistake of baking the first batch for 14 minutes, which turned out to be two minutes too long; easy enough to correct on the second batch. The cookies came out perfectly set on the outside and deliciously soft inside.

I shared the cookies with several people, including Ellen. I took it as a very good sign when she said, “This is a really good cookie that does not need a single thing done to it.” I couldn’t agree more!

About Betsy

Happylicious By Betsy December 2015 lo res I have loved desserts for as long as I can remember. Growing up I loved the smell of freshly baked challah in my maternal great-grandmother’s kitchen, the incredible butter cookies from my paternal grandmother and the perfect pies my mother used to bake when company came over. More about me.
