Brookies

Hey Friends!

I've decided that since it's been so long since we've blogged, I'm just going to share some links of some recipes with you that I have tried recently and loved and then hopefully as I cook over the holidays, I'll take pics and upload some fun stuff :) 

I made these 'brookies' (cross between a brownie and a cookie) for some friends who just had a baby, then made the rest of the batter for my classmates and I loved them and so did the classmates (I think!?).  I recommend baking one for 8 minutes first, then seeing if it is gooey enough, and if not, adjust the time accordingly for the rest of the batter.  The reason they are a cross between a cookie and a brownie (and make for QUITE the addictive treat) is because while they are completely cooked, they still maintain a gooey center (that's the goal, anyway- hence the need to adjust your baking time if that's not the outcome).  It's the perfect cookie. You don't have to under-bake these and risk having raw cookie dough in the center to maintain that perfect, soft, gooey texture in the middle.  They are best served warm (sorry friends in class) so plan accordingly! Although, these are the kind of cookies that are still great the next day and then some (I find this to be quite the opposite with other types of cookies!) You can find the link to these little treats here.

Enjoy!  These would be great for a cookie swap or any other holiday get together!
