Brownie Chocolate Chip Cookies



My best friend sent me a picture a couple of weeks ago of some cookies she saw with brownie pieces in them. I thought what a great idea to put together a chocolate chip cookie and a brownie so I had to make them. I made a normal chocolate chip cookie dough and added tiny pieces of brownies. When I took them out the oven and I took a bite I was in love!!





Ingredients:

  • 2 1/4 Cups of All-purpose flour
  • 1 Teaspoon of Baking Soda
  • 1 Teaspoon of Salt
  • 2 Sticks of Butter
  • 1 Cup of Sugar
  • 1/2 Cup of Brown sugar
  • 2 Eggs
  • 2 Teaspoons of Vanilla extract
  • 1 Cup of Chocolate chips
  • 1/2 Cup of Brownie, cut into tiny pieces
  • 1/2 Cup of Walnuts (Optional)

- Preheat oven 375 degrees.
- Combine Flour, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl and set aside.
- In a mixing bowl beat butter,sugar and brown sugar until well combined.
- Add eggs and vanilla extract to butter mixture and mix until well combined.
- Add flour mixture and mix.
- Once dough forms add chocolate chips and walnuts.
- With a Small ice cream scoop, scoop dough on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Once the dough is on the cookie sheet press in the tiny pieces of brownie into the cookie dough.
- Place cookies in oven for 11 minutes or until golden brown.
- Remove cookies from oven and place them on a cooling racking rack to cool completely.








Enjoy!!

Brownie Pops



This was my first time making brownie pops. I have made cake pops before and they did not come out too great. I got the recipe from the back of a brownie box and I happen to have all the ingredients so I said why not give it a try. They came out really good!!




Ingredients:
  • 1 Box of brownie mix, Family size ( I used dark chocolate )
  • 1/4 cup of Chocolate frosting
  • Candy melts
  • Lollipop sticks
  • Sprinkles (optional)






Bake the brownies following the instructions on the box. Remove brownie from the oven and place on a cooling rack.






Once the brownie has cooled completely place brownie in medium bowl. (Now it is time to get your hands a little dirty). With your hand crumble the brownie. Then add the chocolate frosting. Mix in the frosting until you can form a ball.




Start forming 1 inch balls and place on a cookie sheet lined with wax paper. Place lollipop sticks in the middle of each ball. Place in freezer for about 30 minutes.






Remove brownie pops from freezer and place aside. Start melting your candy melts. I melted mine in the microwave. Mine was still a little thick so I had to add some shortening until I got the constancy I wanted.





Then start dipping the brownie pops in the chocolate making sure you coat the pop completely. If you want to add sprinkles make sure you add them right after you dip the pop in chocolate. I used a bowl and held the brownie pop over the side. Sprinkled the sprinkles over the the brownie pop turning until you get sprinkles coated around the brownie pop. Place brownie pop back on wax paper and let the chocolate harden.







Enjoy!!
