Brownie Pillow Cookies
It's been a really long time since I've posted anything, and that's because my poor little oven broke! Gardner Boy and I now have a new one which we found on sale and hastily (maybe too hastily) bought because I was so desperate to have an oven again! It was definitely on sale for a reason, but its ok cuz I wont be using it for long... Just until Gardner Boy and I move to a bigger place (with a bigger oven!), which will be happening soon!
Anyway, to the Brownie Pillow Cookie.
Imagine a soft cuddly puppy, flopping around on towels and pillows, and think of warmth and comfort. That's the feeling you get when biting into this cookie. Need I say more?
You Will Need:
1 package brownie mix
1 cup butter, room temperature
1 1/2 cups packed light brown sugar
2 large eggs, plus 1 egg yolk
1 tbsp vanilla
2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking soda
12 oz. bag miniature semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 1/2 cups packed light brown sugar
2 large eggs, plus 1 egg yolk
1 tbsp vanilla
2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking soda
12 oz. bag miniature semi-sweet chocolate chips
Brownie:
Bake the package of brownies according to package instructions and let cool. If you can figure out the measurements, I would suggest making only half of the package. I had a lot of extra. Then again, some wouldn't mind having extra brownies lying around. :)
Cut about ten 1 inch (about 3 cm) squares.
Chocolate Chip Cookie:
Beat the butter with a mixer until its creamy.
Add the brown sugar and beat until smooth.
Add the eggs, yolk, and vanilla, and beat until smooth.
Combine the flour, baking powder, soda and salt in a medium bowl and stir together with a wire whisk.
Add the flour to the butter mixture and beat until combined, and stir in the chips.
Let the dough chill covered in the fridge for at least an hour.
Preheat oven to 176°C (350°F).
Use a 1/3 cup to scoop the batter. Since it’s chilled, you may need to pack it with a spoon. Then use the spoon to remove the dough from the cup and place it on parchment paper. Work quickly so that the dough remains chilled. You can prepare one cookie at a time so the rest of the dough remains cold.
After the dough is on the parchment paper, make an indentation and place a brownie square in the middle. Press the brownie down gently and work the remaining dough around the brownie. Shape the dough into a ball. The cookie comes out pretty large, so leave a nice about of space between each one.

Prepare 4-6 cookies at a time, and bake for about 16-18 minutes. Put the rest of the dough to the fridge until its time to bake the second batch.
Cool the cookies on the baking sheet for a few minutes and then cool completely on a wire rack.
Makes about 10 cookies.
