There seem to be two types of people in this world…the people who like the middle pieces of a pan of brownies and those who like the edges pieces.I am a brownie innards girl all.the.way.
The edges are just a side effect.
I especially like brownie middles when they are ooey-gooey-almost-raw-won’t-even-stay-in-one-piece. BUT the edges seem to have this weird cult following. I mean they made a WHOLE PAN to make just edge pieces.
How about a whole pan to make just MIDDLE pieces? Hmm? HMMM???? Someone needs to figure out that little bit of baking arithmetic.
Anyhow..I have finally found the perfect treat that will satisfy BOTH types.
Brownie Cookies.
The are chewy, but also gooey…the tops are crackly and they are loaded with chocolate. AND I made them into Brownie Cookie Sandwiches, because nothing beats a good brownie…except one with peanut butter and frosting.
Sometimes I really feel like I can’t get any smarter.
So let’s discuss how flipping easy these cookies are to make…
Whisk your dry, whisk your wet…
Melt ONE WHOLE POUND OF CHOCOLATE with a WHOLE STICK OF BUTTER.
Just come on.
Yes yes yes.
Mix the chocolate in with the wet ingredients and then mix all that in with the dry…
Stir.
And mix in more chocolate. This time milk chocolate…
Plop that onto a lined baking sheet…
And bake them til they’re beautiful.
Now you could stop here.
I mean, look at the cookies…gorg.
OR you could slather some peanut butter onto one side and frosting onto the other and make this…
ALSO. This is the recipe that I used for frosting…it’s called Crispy Magic Frosting and ohmahgah make it.
I love these about as much as one could possibly love a cookie. Because.

I’m a brownie middle person, so I would be all over a pan that makes middles only!! Someone better get on that!
I love the brownie innards as well! I haven’t used my back in the day bakery book in quite awhile. I’m definitely going to dig it back out after looking at these. YUMMM
Oh my word! I want to run out to the store right now and get the ingredients so I can make this! They look amazing!
OMG girl, I want these now! 🙂 Brownies and PB, so amazing!
I’m pretty much drooling right now. You’re my favorite dessert person ever.
INNARDS!! 100% all the way!
I literally just texted a friend about this last night. I told her a brownie “edges pan” is my worst nightmare. Haha.
And I’m a “eat all the cream filling out of sandwich cookies” girl too.
You speak right to me girl. Gahhh!!
These cookie sandwiches look craaaazy good! Especially those brownie cookies…dang.
Ive made a version of the Back in the Day brownie cookies too. I got that book about 15-18 mos ago and made lots of stuff from it and just kind of forgot about it but just saw it again on my shelf the other day. And now these. It’s a sign They’re beautiful, Shelly!
I’m an innards, raw, gooey, wont hold together girl too! And this filling, two-tone. Love it! Pinned
I go through phases with my brownie preferences, but most of the time, it’s the middle part. These look delicious!
