Brownie Batter Cookies

I was happy I had the ingredients on hand to make these Brownie Batter Cookies by Trisha Yearwood.  Nope, no trip to the grocery store required.   The hardest part is remembering to set out the butter for it to soften (and it does need to be really soft or room temp).

My cookies may be smaller than the recipe creator, because I usually end up with more than it says it will make.  More than 2 dozen!

Here are my 2 with a glass of cold milk, as soon as they came out of the oven!  ...then I had 2 more...

It is now 7pm.  Wonder what we're having for dinner?

I bagged a few to share with friends and the rest were mailed to Tuscaloosa as a birthday treat for my daughter's friend.  

The text message read "this is the best chocolate chip cookie I have ever had".   Of course, I'd expect a college student to say that!

They are delicious, a cake-like texture on the inside, with a slight brownie-like crust on the outside.  Great choice for a scratch-made cookie!
