"Rich chocolate chip brownies in cookie form, with a hint of espresso."
-Andrea P.
"These are cakey when right out of the oven, but get more fudgy after cooling. They have a nice light mint flavor. If you can't find mint chocolate chips, use regular semisweet chips and add a few drops of peppermint extract."
-flower7
"Delicious! They're just like grandma used to make. They're very easy too — I didn't even need to use a mixer. The dough was crumbly but it came together just fine!"
-Nanita
"All the goodness of a chocolate chip cookie, with a lot less work!"

"These are fudgy deliciousness. I love that the buttery flavor comes through the chocolate! All in all, it's a scrumptious cookie."
-momaphet
"These are EXCELLENT! I found scooping them to be a challenge until I started scooping with a large spoon and using my fingers to slide the macaroon onto the cookie sheet. I love the sweet and toasty flavor."
-Saturn
"WOW! These are so easy and come out fabulous. They are the perfect balance of sweet and buttery and soft (inside) and crispy (outside)."
-Karen=^..^=
These might just be too cute to eat.
It's a scientific fact: Cookies taste better when they're adorable.
Cake? Cookie? Pancake? Yes, yes and yes.
"I thought these cookie cups were really cute! Perfect finger-food dessert for parties."

Sweet and salty go together like peanut butter and chocolate.
"Incredible! This will be a lifesaver for me when I have those cravings that are only cured by rich, warm chocolate."
-Chef #1427153
"These are so easy to make, and they come out light, crisp and buttery. I topped them with sugar crystal sprinkles for a little extra sweet crunch."
-AZPARZYCH
"Wow, these are terrific! They're not really all that sweet, just rich and chocolatey. This a brownie recipe I'll use often."
-loof
"If you like molasses cookies, try these! I often substitute allspice for the cloves. I also roll the whole cookie in sugar, not just the top. I store them in a cookie tin and they stay nice and soft. YUM!"
-Marg (CaymanDesigns)
"These are crispy, chewy and perfect oatmeal cookies! The coconut made them even more moist and delicious, and I loved the raisins. I found 12 minutes was a perfect baking time for these."
-Chef*Lee
"I used boxed brownie mix and a roll of cookie dough. My dulce de leche came in a can, and I used all but 1/4 cup inside and drizzled the remaining 1/4 cup on top after they cooled. I sprinkled sea salt on top when they were done. These are delicious!"
-doler
"I am a huge fan of salted caramel and chocolate, and these brownies do not disappoint. They are to die for: rich, decadent and full of flavor. I didn't have any evaporated milk so I used half-and-half, which worked well."
-Baby Kato
"This is a classic cookie. They're easily mixed all in one bowl, and they're irresistible when they come out of the oven! I particularly liked the cinnamon in them and the slightly crunchy texture."
