My friend Robyn called these "brownie cookies for grown ups" when she posted them on her blog a couple of months ago. I followed her link for the recipe and printed it right then. I have been carrying that printed recipe around with me for two months now, and this past weekend I made these yummy dudes.
I haven't been doing much baking lately because of the whole summer-in-Arizona-heat-issue, and by last weekend I was itching to play with flour and butter. Plus, it was cloudy and rainy over the weekend {although still hot} and that kind of weather just begs for fresh cookies.
This recipe was super easy, and it reminded me a lot of some chocolate sugar cookies my mom used to make. I used Hershey's cocoa and they tasted just like my mom's used to! Doug and Carrie loved these, and I have plans to repeat this recipe at Christmas time. But when I make them again, I'm going to invest in some fancy swanky cocoa and enjoy the added taste boost.
And just because I was thinking of my sweet mom,
I used one of her little strawberry plates to serve them.

oh my goodness!!! When you posted these on instagram I thought "what in the WORLD is she talking about? I don't remember making these kinds of cookies." ha! My brain, it seems, is mush!
But NOW I remember. :) So glad you tried them, so glad you LIKED them!
I've got some baking on the horizon as well. (this is the longest I've gone without baking something in YEARS!). The high tomorrow is 79...which is cool enough for baking in my book!
They look so professional! How neat is your baking ... Mine always comes out with irregular edges and lumps. Glad the taste was good, and am smiling and touched by your strawberry plate. I am sure she would be smiling too ...
As Alexa says...they do look so neat...mine are never perfect circles!!
They also sound very delicious.
they look delicious!!! yum!
Don't think I've ever had a chocolate sugar cookie. They look delicious!
Oh yum! they sound so good. The plate is lovely. I saw a milk jug in a shop yesterday with a very similar strawberry pattern.
What a sweet post! This is the second cookie recipe I've seen lately that calls to me.
