Brownie Cookies

I believe that I have mentioned that we love brownies in this house. Tonight the thought of brownies sounded delicious, but I wanted a different twist on it. I whipped up some brownie cookies and now the house smells amazing!

My girlfriend wasn't home to be my taste tester, so I dropped a plate off to her husband. I hope there is still one left for her in the morning...he was letting all the neighborhood kids try them.
