Is it a brownie? Is it a cookie? Who can tell?

One night The Husband and I were discussing what we wanted for dessert. He wanted brownies. I wanted cookies. We couldn't agree, so I made this recipe instead! Brownies with the characteristics of cookies. Or cookies that are brownies. No need to decide, just bake these and eat them. Problem solved!

Brownie Cookies
from Nosh and Tell

Ingredients:2 2/3 cups (about 16 ounces) bittersweet chocolate, chopped
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
4 eggs
1 1/3 cups granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ cup all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon baking powder
1 cup semisweet or bittersweet chocolate chips

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.

Put the chocolate and butter in a pan and stir occasionally until completely melted and smooth. In the meantime, stir together the eggs, vanilla and sugar in a medium bowl. Set aside. In a small bowl, sift together the flour and baking powder. Add the melted chocolate mixture to the egg mixture and stir to combine well. Slowly add the dry ingredients, folding them into the batter. Once all of the flour is incorporated, stir in the chocolate chips.

Scoop 1½ tablespoons of dough (a medium cookie scoop’s worth) onto prepared baking sheets. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until they are firm on the outside. Like brownies, do not overbake! Leave to cool completely on the baking sheets. Makes about 24 large cookies.
