Best Brownie Cookies
 

     

Too Simple (But, so delicious!) Preheat oven to 350 degrees, Mix as directed your favourite package of chewy brownies (I like Martha White double fudge with walnuts). Then add to this mixture a 16oz bag of real (not the fake stuff!) semi-sweet chocolate morsels. Now, don't even think about pouring this into a baking pan! Instead you place teaspoons of it on a cookie sheet and bake for 7 - 8 minutes. I know this may be hard to believe, but they are better than ordinary homemade chocolate chip cookies!
