TastyHealthyThings: Brownie Cookies - For Health Reasons...

"Health Food" - the definition can vary depending on the person, latest diet trend or current level of stress.

In this case, I must share with you that my sister is getting married in one month. If that weren't enough to boost a girls' stress level, she has also volunteered to watch my dog Abby for the weekend while my husband and I are away. She's a saint. Needless to say, her stress level is CODE RED: Needs Chocolate!!!

This Tasty~~Healthy~~ Brownie Cookie Recipe I stumbled upon at Lifes Ambrosia will be the perfect "Thank you for watching my crazy dog - please try to relax" gesture.They certainly look like ooey gooey tasty delights and the health factor will be determined by the mental relief felt by those who taste them!

Makes 20-30 cookies

Ingredients:

1 package fudge brownie mix
1 1/4 cup all purpose flour
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
2 eggs
1 stick butter, melted, cooled
2-3 tablespoons cold water
1 cup dark chocolate chunks (or Semi-Sweet...or Milk Chocolate...)

Instruction:

Whisk together flour, brownie mix and brown sugar.
Using a heavy spoon, stir in eggs one at a time. Followed by butter and 2 tablespoons water. If the batter appears like there is too much flour add 1 more tablespoon of water. Batter will be very thick.
Fold in chocolate chunks

THICK batter....look at that spoon!

Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Grease a cookie sheet or use parchment if you have it handy.
Drop heaping tablespoons of dough on the cookie sheet, you want pretty thick cookies here to get the brownie feel, about 3 inches apart. Press down slightly. Don’t flatten completely.
