The W.G.F. Brownie Cookie

This is going to blow-yo-mind.

(Well, at least it blew my mind. And I have strong reason to suggest that as a fellow lover of all things sweets, it will do the same to you.)

So you take the World’s Greatest Fudge Brownie, and you cookie-ify it.

Done.

I don’t even need to say anything else, other than “you’re welcome”. And maybe “bon appetit”. (Oh, and maybe the fact that the cookies come out quite thin, so you won’t need to feel guilty by eating 12 of them because they are so miniscule. Go for the full baker’s dozen. [It IS 2013, after all.].

Adapted from my World’s Greatest Fudge Brownie recipe…

4 ounces chopped unsweetened chocolate

(the better the chocolate, the better the brownie)

3/4 cup unsalted butter

2 cups sugar

2 1/2 teaspoons real vanilla (use the real stuff)

3 lightly beaten eggs

1 cup flour

1 1/2 teaspoons salt

Optional: 1 tablespoon instant espresso powder

Optional: 1 cup lightly toasted nuts &/or chocolate chips
1. Preheat oven to 350° and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper (or grease tin-foil lined sheets).
2. Melt chocolate & butter in microwave for 2:15 minutes and stir.
3. Stir in sugar, then vanilla, then eggs, then salt, espresso powder (optional) & flour.
4. Stir in nuts &/or chocolate chips if you so desire.
5. Scoop by the heaping tablespoonful onto prepared pans, about 2 – 3 inches apart. Bake for 8 – 10 minutes, until just set around the edges.
6. Cool on a wire rack.
7. Indulge.
Tips:
- Like your cookies fudgy? Under-bake. If you like them crispy, over-bake a bit.
- Be smart about it- make a skimpy batch of brownies (maybe in an 8″ pan) AND a dozen cookies in the same batch. We all like variety.
- Get creative! Take 2 W.G.F.Brownie Cookies and spread peanut butter or Nutella between them. Voila- sandwiches made in heaven.
- Want more brownie blather? Check out the Tips section of the original post.
- Of course these freeze well!
