My Aunt Lynnea not only purchased some of the Please Note Personalized Mint Mixer Recipe Cards but was nice enough to fill one out and send it back to me... with a delicious brownie cookie recipe. These are seriously the best chocolate cookies I have ever baked/eaten.
Ingredients:
- 6 squares semi-sweet baking chocolate
- 4 squares unsweetened chocolate
- 3/4 cube of butter
- 1 cup sugar
- 3 eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 1 cup flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups toasted chopper walnuts (optional)
Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Melt the chocolate with the butter and stir until smooth.
Stir in the sugar until well blended. Mix in the eggs and vanilla.
Mix in the flour, salt, and baking powder. The dough will be very soft.
If adding the chopped walnuts... toast them on a cookie sheet for about 8-10 minutes and add them to the dough now. Drop the dough by rounded tablespoons on to an ungreased cookie sheet about 1 1/2 inches apart.
Bake for 12 minutes and watch them carefully. Cool for 5 minutes on cookie sheet and cool completely on wire racks. Be sure and eat these with a big glass of milk... they're rich!
These look great - I'm drooling already.
ReplyDeleteIs it possible to get alternative measurements for the butter and chocolate of peeps not in the US?
wow those look amazzzzingly good!
ReplyDeleteCatriona, the chocolate squares are 1 ounce each and 3/4 cube of butter = 6 tablespoons. I just found this great food measurement converter:

Hope that helps!
Thanks for the conversions - off to the kitchen I go!!!
ReplyDeleteBrownies + cookies? I'll be baking these later today. Thanks Aunt Lynnea :-)
ReplyDeletePlease tell me how they turn out! I love them so much!
ReplyDeleteI'm making these today:-)
ReplyDeleteI made these and then sprinkled them with powdered Sugar. They are yummy!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you liked them, Brandi! :)
DeleteAdded toffee chips. All I need now is a gallon of milk and those bad boys are gone! Delicious. Thank you so much.
ReplyDeleteToffee chips sound delicious! I'm glad you like them!
DeleteYummmmm!!! Just made these! I love that they are not too sweet. Very very good! Thanks for the recipe!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you liked them, Kelly!
DeleteI was looking for something to make tonight, These look oh so good, THANKS:D
ReplyDeleteYou'll love them! :)
DeleteMy mix was really runny and they turned out like pancakes :(. Still super delicious though, just not sure what went wrong
ReplyDeleteAwww :( Well, I'm glad they still tasted good!
DeleteMy "non-stick" pans do that to all my cookies. So I don't use them.
DeleteDid you use fresh Baking Powder? Or did you use Baking Soda instead of Baking Powder?
Make sure to use fresh All-Purpose flour.
Try baking them on parchment paper. They tend to not spread as much
Deletesuperb :-) I love them..
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you liked them! :)
DeleteCant wait to try it. Btw is the butter in the ingredients unsalted?
ReplyDeleteYes it is! Enjoy! :)
DeleteDefinitely making the for Thanksgiving!
ReplyDeleteYou'll love them! :)
DeleteDo you think these would work with almond flour?
ReplyDeleteI've actually never tried almond flour with any of my recipes so I'm really not sure. Sorry about that. If you test it out, I'd love to hear what results you have.
DeleteHow many cookies would you say that this recipe would make?
ReplyDeleteThis recipe makes about 3 dozen.
DeleteMade these tonight. Turned out really yummy. My kid ate 3 and then said they look like dog poops. :) Guess he likes them anyways. lol!
ReplyDeleteHaha! Glad you like them! I need to make another batch soon!
DeleteI can't wait to try these! Thank you for the recipe! I had these cookies a couple yrs. ago at a country club but they were made with a little coconut ball inside (the type that is inside a Mounds or Almond Joy candy bar). They were the best cookie I've ever tried but couldn't find a recipe.
ReplyDeleteYou're going to love these! :)
DeleteCan you clarify the amount of butter used? We don't have "cubes" of butter here.
ReplyDeleteIt would be 6 tablespoons.
DeleteMine turned out very dry. I thought they would be gooey. Any tips on what could have gone wrong?
ReplyDeleteThey're not very gooey. They have more of a cake-like brownie texture. If they are EXTREMELY dry, you might want to cut down on the baking time. Sifting the flour will make them fluffier too.
DeleteOkay, thanks!
