If you like brownies, then you’ll love these cookies. The texture is not as fudgy as a brownie, but the flavor is spot-on. These are surprisingly light and very addictive. Just ask my daughter and husband. Between the three of us, we inhaled just under a dozen.
Another nice thing about this recipe is that it makes 48 cookies so there’s plenty to send off to work or swap in a cookie exchange. Please note: you should make the dough the night before to give it ample time for chilling.
