Sour Cream Chocolate Cookies aka Brownie Cookies

By prairiemama

Amy renamed these, thank you. Much shorter than "chocolate frosted chocolate" cookies. Soft cookie that tastes like a brownie

(I ran out of semi-sweet chocolate chips for the frosting for this picture. I used peanut butter and milk chocolate
chips instead)
