Brownie Cookies

I have never met a Brownie I didn’t like.  Whether cakey, chewy, marbled, full of nuts or not, a Brownie is always a great sweet treat option.

I’m not sure whether I can honestly say these  brownie cookies surpass the allure of a big Brownie square calling out to be consumed but since these cookies bake up faster they deserve an additonal ‘brownie’ point in my sweetenuf opinion.

I added in some Godiva milk chocolate caramels I had on hand but pretty much anything from nuts to chopped dark chocolate or even a few peanut butter cups would enhance these soft and fudgey cookies.
