Perfect Brownie Cookies

Sooooo...this is why I cannot stay home & watch John Wayne movies all day.  It gives me the munchies like nobody's business.   Chocolate, of course, being my drug of choice.   I signed onto pinterest & plugged in "chocolate" and voila...chocolate brownies appeared!   After taking a quick inventory of my pantry I realized I had all the fixings.    The rest, as they say, is history.   So long diet & helloooooo Mr. Brownie Cookie delight...

Brownie cookies cooling on wire racks.  Yummy!

Below is the recipe in case you find yourself unable to get these off of your mind.   I will say that I added pecans & I would only bake for 8-9 minutes.   They come out with the PERFECT shiny, flaky top.  Enjoy! 

Perfect Brownie Cookie.



Brownie Cookies

½ cup butter
4 (1 ounce) squares unsweetened chocolate, chopped
3 cups (18 ounces) semisweet chocolate chips, divided
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
4 large eggs
1 ½ cups sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Combine butter, unsweetened chocolate, and 1 ½ cups chocolate chips in a large heavy saucepan. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until butter and chocolate melt; let cool.

Combine flour, baking powder, and salt in a small bowl, set aside.

Beat eggs, sugar and vanilla at medium speed with an electric mixer. Gradually add dry ingredients to egg mixture, beating well. Then add the chocolate mixture and beat well. Stir in remaning 1 ½ cups chocolate chips.
