Last week I officially promoted my boys to the 4th and 2nd grades and closed out our first year homeschooling. It was a HUGE learning experience for all of us but I was so proud of my boys and all they accomplished and learned this year that I wanted to make a special treat for them to celebrate. I was about to make regular old brownies when I changed my mind and decided to make these brownie cookies instead. While I LOVE me some a good old chocolate brownie, brownie cookies give that same fudgy tastes and crackled crust in a smaller, less messy package. (So it’s better for portions and mess with little hands!)
These cookies taste absolutely magical when they are still very warm but they do need to cool a good 10 minutes before you move them as they are very fragile right out of the oven!
