This week I made chocolate chip cookies stuffed with a brownie. It was very easy to make! I did it a little differently than the recipe. Instead of a mini muffin pan I used a regular muffin pan. I then cooked the brownies for ten minutes at 345 degrees Fahrenheit convection bake. The brownies were slightly cooked but still gooey. I then put a large piece of cookie dough in my palm and spooned the brownie into it. Then I grabbed another piece of cookie dough and place it on top of my palm and rolled it together. I fit four on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. After they were in the freezer for an hour, I cooked them for 30 minutes while checking them every five minutes. They were a hit! My family, lunch table and the Tom Tom loved them!
