Chocolate “Brownie” Cookies

These delightful cookies are like a cross between a cookie and a brownie. Their texture reminds me of a brownie. They are soft inside, with just a little crunch on the outside. For picnics and cook outs, they make a great dessert. They are easy to pack up and bring anywhere. Plus, they are chocolate – which is always a good thing!!

I like to finish them with a drizzle of white or dark chocolate. It just dresses them up for the party a little. You can also dust them with powdered sugar, if you like.

Trust me, even plain, everyone is going to love these cookies. They freeze well, so you could even make a double batch, then freeze some to enjoy later.
