Brownie and cookie lovers, we have come together today to celebrate the unity of two incredible treats: the fudge brownie and the chewy chocolate chip cookie. You may now begin crying tears of joy. (insert tremendous applause here) Okay so “brookie” – you get that already. Brownie + cookie = brookie. Pretty self explanatory. But I sort of double named these cookies. I also call them true love cookies. The reason is because they remind me of my sister, she has the cutest love story. So my sister is as white as white can be (like me!), aka: caucasion. Her sweet (amazing chef by the way) husband is black (no need to correct this – he refers to himself as “black” so that’s exactly what he prefers!) and they are the cutest couple everrr. But it gets better! They have adopted two little baby girls. One is white / caucasion – like my sister, and the other is African American / black – like my brother in law. So freaking cute!!! I took their family pictures a few months ago and they made a big deal about my sister holding the dark little girl and my brother in law holding the light one – so they don’t look segregated haha! Those little girls have brought so much joy to our family we can’t get enough of them. Yayyyyy for the miracle of adoption!! Okay but really now, that was just a side bar. The real reason I call them true love cookies is because if you’re like me you LOVE brownies and you LOVE chocolate chip cookies. So when they both come together in one adorable, perfectly yummable, hybrid treat – it’s true love at first bite! Too bad there’s no cheese in this recipe because this post is absolutely dripping with it…. *Recipe adapted from Santa’s Cookies and Chewy Double Chocolate Cookies
