Jumbo Brownie Cookies

Day 4 of the 12 Days of Christmas Cookies! These Jumbo Brownie Cookies from Taste of Home are the best of both worlds- the chocolately soft center of a brownie, with the crisp edges of a cookie.  

 

I knew right off the bat that I wouldn't be using the chocolate called for- I am the only dark chocolate fan, and 60% would be way too much for my guys.  I used Nestle Dark Chocolate chips instead, which are 53%.    And even though it says the espresso powder is optional, I highly recommend it.   You don't taste coffee, it just brings out the chocolate flavor.  

These were fantastic with a nice cold glass of milk.    I might make them smaller next time for easier dunking, and because to the guys, no one eats just one cookie, not even when it's a jumbo one.   Thank you to Rebecca C for sharing her recipe!

Ingredients

  • 2 2/3 cups 60% bittersweet chocolate baking chips -- I used Nestle Dark (53%)
  • 1/2 cup butter -- cubed
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups sugar
  • 4 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 teaspoons instant espresso powder -- optional
  • 2/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 12oz package semisweet chocolate chunks

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°. In a large saucepan, melt chocolate chips and butter over low heat, stirring until smooth. Remove from the heat; cool until mixture is warm.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk the eggs, sugar, vanilla and, if desired, espresso powder until blended. Whisk into chocolate mixture. In another bowl, mix the flour, baking powder and salt; add to chocolate mixture, mixing well. Fold in chocolate chunks; let stand 10 minutes or until mixture thickens slightly.
  3. Drop by 1/4 cupfuls 3 in. apart onto parchment paper-lined baking sheets. Bake 12-14 minutes or until set. Cool on pans 1-2 minutes. Remove to wire racks to cool. Yield: about 1-1/2 dozen.

Copycat Dunkin Donuts Egg White & Veggie Omelet Bites

I'm a huge fan of the Dunkin Donuts Power Breakfast sandwich, so when I started seeing ads for the new Egg White & Veggie Omelet Bites I stopped in and gave them a try.  They were delicious, but of course, I knew I could make them at home. 

Stuffed Waffles

I wasn't sure I was going to blog these stuffed waffles since it was the first time I tried using the new iron but since I'd already taken the pics as I went I figured, why not? They aren't perfect but they are delicious!

Copycat Dunkin Donuts Bacon and Cheddar Omelet Bites

Since I already came up with a version of Dunkin Donuts new Egg White & Veggie Omelet Bites for myself, I decided to make the other variety that they are offering, Bacon & Cheddar, for my husband.
