Dunkable Brownies

Submitted by CarolynDekat

"This is a deep, dark chocolate cookie that tastes like a brownie. If you love chocolate, you'll love these. I used to make them often years ago when my kids were little; had an out-of-the-blue request for them, and nearly couldn't find the recipe, so I'm posting it here for safe-keeping. I do remember that I make them with pecans as my family prefers those over walnuts. There might have been other tweaks that I won't remember till I get them made again. Don't remember where I found the recipe, either...."
