Chewy Brownie Cookies

I don't like chocolate and I like these! Husband can't stop. I would cut back on the chocolate chips by a little bit as I find they are almost overwhelming (personal preference). Other people have mentioned that the cookie does not expand, I cooked for 9 mins each and they definitely take on more of that brownie look. Because of richness, I preferred the size and I got 34 in total. I also keep the dough in the fridge in between trays, and for approximately 15 minutes in the beginning, as it's very tacky.

Very tasty and brownieish! I did not have shortening so I used lard and reduced the chocolate chips to 1 and a half cups. Decided to use this recipe for the cookie exchange this year- fingers crossed I win most delicious! Lol

Absolutely love as is! Made twice so far. Once as written and once swapping the shortening with coconut oil. I baked in a convection oven at 375° and it took the full ten minutes. I let them cool in the pan and they came out perfect!

These cookies worked out beautifully and taste divine! The original recipe was a little sweet for my tastes, so I only added 1 cup of brown sugar, and I also combined dark chocolate chips with salted caramel chips, added walnuts, and used butter instead of veg shortening since I never use anything else in my baking. Delish!! They DO taste just like brownies! I baked these on parchment paper, and had absolutely no issues with sticking. I also found they flattened nicely, they made a nicely proportioned cookie. I am wondering if those that had issues with it spreading too much may have added the shortening while it was too soft. I didn't even chill mine before baking, and they worked out beautifully!
