… hey, there’s a brownie in my cookie!
Jenny from Picky Palate has done it again—she’s taken one of my favorite desserts and stuffed it inside of a chewy gooey chocolate chip cookie. Before it was Oreos and candy bars, then it was s’mores and peanut butter fudge, and now brownies?! You’ve got to be kidding me. She’s genius! I just had to jump on this bandwagon immediately. There were no ifs, ands, or buts about it. Now that I’ve succeeded in creating a ‘pillow cookie,’ you better believe I WILL be stuffing cookies with all sorts of goodies from this day forward—marshmallows, fruit, cake, caramel, frosting, fudge, pretzels, and maybe even cookies inside of cookies. I’m probably getting ahead of myself, but seriously—what a great idea! These cookies left me speechless. They are crispy on the outside, chewy and fudgy on the inside. Absolutely divine!
