I created this recipe while explaining cookies on my blog. To my surprise, it tasted and felt like a very good brownie. I used it to make ice cream sandwiches for Mother's Day. The cookies/brownies were a huge success.
Here's the recipe:
Ingredients:
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large egg
- 3 tbs. water
- 1/8 cup Hershey's Cocoa Powder
You can add chopped pecans, walnuts, or macadamia nuts to this recipe if you want.
Combine the egg and melted butter. Add the sugar, vanilla, and water, and mix until smooth. In a separate bowl, whisk together the remaining dry ingredients. Combine the wet and dry ingredients. Form into 1" balls, slightly flatten, and place on a parchment paper lined cookie sheet. Bake for 11 minutes at 375' F. When the time has elapsed, remove from the oven and onto a cooling rack. You can simply slide the parchment paper with the cookies onto the rack. Reline the cookie sheet and repeat until all cookies are made.
Enjoy.
