Brownies and Cookie Fusion – Brookies

Hubby and I both like to bake on our lazy Sundays, he is a brownie lover and I have a weakness for fresh out of the oven cookies. We came across a recipe that combines the two classics, it was genius! No more having to pick which one to make, we both get what we want in the one bite.

Definition of Brookies: When a brownie and cookie come together in a decadent union.
