Brownie Cookies – “Brookies”

1 package brownie mix

Make brownies according to package and let cool. Cut about ten 1 inch squares. Enjoy the remaining brownies. (I used a pan about 8 X 8)

2. In a separate bowl mix the flour, salt and baking soda. Slowly add to wet ingredients along with chocolate chips until just combined. Using a cookie scoop take one scoop of cookie dough and place on top of an 1in x1in brownie square. Take another scoop of dough and place on bottom of the brownie square. Seal edges together by pressing and cupping in hand until brownie square is enclosed with dough. Place onto a parchment or silpat lined baking sheet and bake cookies 9-13 minutes or until cookies are baked to your liking.

So this isn’t the cookie dough recipe it was originally listed with. I tried it, I didn’t like it. Dough spread out too thin and while they were still AMAZING tasting cookies, I just wasn’t a fan of a cookie the size of my head with a small square lump in the middle. Looked like weird cookie tumor. haha But if you want to make amazing chocolate chip cookies, click on Bakerella. So I used the cookie recipe from Picky Palate for her Oreo Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies. (The cookie recipe listed above is the one I used from Picky Palate) Which you can find my attempt at that little slice of heaven previously. 😀 Worked like a charm, just what I was looking for. Also side note, I think I baked the brownies a tad longer than I should have which is why it was a harder lump in the middle and didn’t ooze into the middle of the cookie like it should. Still good though, works well with Picky Palate’s stiffer cookie batter. Oh I also didn’t use a cookie scoop. I didn’t have one, nor felt the need to own one. Just as easy to use a tablespoon and shape it accordingly.
