Brownie Cookies

Today is the battle of brownie vs cookie. Over the weekend I wanted to bake, but I had no idea what I wanted to make, all I knew was it HAD to be chocolate! The Boy wanted cookies, so of course, The Girl wanted brownies. That is the norm around here though, they can never agree on anything. So, instead of a battle starting I opted for a happy medium, Brownie Cookies!   These little disks of joy are a perfect marriage of a brownie and cookie! The center is super moist and the edges are just slightly chewy. They were a total hit with both of the kids. So much that they were gone in less than 24 hours! So if you are looking for something quick and yummy to satisfy your chocolate craving, these will do just the trick!
