Brownie Cookies

Oh look…more cookies!  I love December!  The bad news is this may be the last cookie post because my family ate the entire batch of Peanuty Butter Cookies I was going to post before I could take a picture!…no I am not kidding and yes, I probably ate my share.

But for now we have these little beauties. They are like portable brownies – just grab and go!

I had to get clever with this photo because six cookies was all I had left!  I am going to have to invest in a cookie vault.  These went really quick…I mean it’s chocolate right? It’s got it’s own health benefits….along with red wine.  Yay life!

These are super easy – no special notes required just careful not to over bake.  Take them out when the tops start to crackle and let them cool a bit before removing from the cookies sheet.

Enjoy! a few more days until we start our Whole30.  30 days of intense life changing Paleo….you can find the book here: It All Starts with Food.  It will help you get all set up for our January 5th start date!  But for now…cookies!
