By barbgreenfield

Brownie and cookie lovers alike will go nuts for these two-bite treats. They have the chocolate chewiness of a brownie, but also embody the crunchy goodness of a cookie. Top them with a chocolate glaze to make them extra heavenly.

Ingredients

• Ingredients:
• 8 ounces German sweet chocolate, broken up
• 3/4 cup chopped pecans
• 1/4 cup flour
• 1/4 teaspoon double-acting baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/8 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• 2 large eggs
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 batch chocolate glaze recipe

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350°F. Sift flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt together; place in medium bowl. In double broiler, melt butter and chocolate; stir until well combined. Let cool. Beat eggs with an electric mixer on high speed until light and fluffy. Add sugar gradually until a ribbon forms and color becomes very light. Add vanilla. Add cooled chocolate to egg mixture and beat on low speed until well blended. Remove from electric mixer and fold in sifted dry ingredients. Fold in pecans, as well. Using a rounded teaspoon, drop batter onto cookie sheet lined with parchment paper, placing 1 1/2 inches apart. Bake for 12 minutes. Cookies will look cracked, light in color, and still very soft. When cool, spread cookies with Chocolate Glaze using a small off set spatula.
