Brownie Cookies

I haven't tried these but I soon will, don't they look awesome. I love a chocolate cookie. As soon as I try them I'll let you all know how they are. UPDATE: I made these today (the 4th of July). I have a stomach ache right now cause I ate way too many. They are great and very tasty. They are pretty easy to make too. If you ever have had cakemix cookies (or cakies as my brother calls them) they taste similar to those. Cakies are much easier and probably cheaper to make. You might be better off making those if you want a chocolate cookies. I'm leaving this recipe up for those who like chocolate cookies from scratch. Cause these are good!

Whisk well until smooth. Let the mixture cool slightly. Add egg and egg yolk, whisking well again. Add the vanilla.Add the dry ingredients a little at a time and whisk well between additions. (You may need to switch to a wooden spoon towards the end. Add the chocolate chipsUse a small ice cream scoop (1 Tbsp. size) or two spoons to drop tablespoon size balls of dough onto a parchment lined baking sheet. Bake cookies for about 8-9 minutes. (Check a little before just to make sure...) The cookies will look dry on top, but will be soft in the middle.Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet and then remove to a cooling rack to let the chocolate chips set before storing.
