Brad's Chocolate Brownie Cookies


Brad loves cookies and brownies, so he inventively decided to create a brownie cookie the other night.

He initially wanted to use the Double Tree Hotel's famous chocolate chip cookie recipe (click here), but we didn't have the oats that the recipe called for. He decided to go with this Gourmet recipe on Epicurious, but added a pinch of cinnamon and 1/2 tsp of lemon juice (just like the Double Tree recipe).


He also finely chopped a dark chocolate bar and added it to the mix in place of chocolate "chips". He spread the mixture on parchment paper and baked it for about 8 minutes more than the specified time. The result was perfect, and it looked just like a cross between a brownie and cookie! I joked that he should start his own blog called "Brad bakes here". :)

Ingredients:

  • 1 1/4 sticks (10 tablespoons) unsalted butter, softened
  • 2/3 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/4 cups semisweet chocolate chips (7 1/2 oz) (Brad used a whole dark chocolate bar, finely diced)
  • A pinch of cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp lemon juice
