What's not to like? Cookies...Mmmmm good! Chocolate Chips....Mmmmm good! Brownies...Mmm good! Haha for some reason when I started to write this post I thought of the episode of friends where Joey eats Rachel's trifle that has a layer of "beef sauteed with peas and onions." Seriously- its hilarious! :) My fav show. I'm cracking up just searching for the video to share with you. See it here.
I couldn't decide what to make for dessert and then found these on Bakerella. These "Brookies" are essentially cookies cooked in a pan like a brownie- um no brainer... I'll eat that! :) So yummy and easy since you just make them the old fashioned way- with a wooden spoon! My wooden spoon was covered with sticky sweet and sour sauce when I made these, but just imagine a cute wooden spoon in all my photos.
I halved this recipe and baked it in a 8x8 pan since I knew we did not need a whole pan of them. After we each had one for dessert (some of us had more than one...), I packed up a few for G's UPS man and brought the rest to work. I have gotten accused of "trying to make people fat" lately at work.... maybe its time for G to get some more coworkers! Or maybe I should meet some more neighbors...
These are soft, chewy and ooh so yummy and satisfying! Please make them for a special treat soon. You can even make them extra special by adding a dollop of sweetened whipped cream on top.

Use the back of a spoon to incorporate mixture together until butter "disappears."
