Chewy Brownie Cookies

Submitted by Ceezie

"This came from a Crisco package and is super yummy! These cookies taste just like a brownie with chips in them. I love them with white chocolate chips or a mix of white and milk chocolate. I have even just made these with no chips and frosted them."

These were good, but I agree with the other reviewer, they did not taste like a brownie. I did not think they were very chocolatey at all. I used swirled white chocolate/semisweet chocolate chips. They tasted good, which is why I am giving 4 stars, but this is not really what I was looking for, so I probably woul not make them again.

These were very good, but I wouldn't say they tasted like a brownie. I prefer the chocolate-chocolate chip cookie recipe I grew up with, but these were fun to try. They get a bit dry and crumbly as they sit -- even with a piece of bread in the cookie jar.
