These are enormous cookies, crisp Tollhouse that surround a huge center of fudge brownie – almost like a giant cookie dumpling. You bite into a crisp and chewy cookie and immediately encounter an almost molten center of chocolate. The contrast of crisp cookie and dense, moist brownie is magical. If you have extra brownies (and you might, depending on how large you cut them), feel free to snack on them. A visitor asked me to recreate these, as something similar is on the Bon Appetit website http://www.bonappetit.com/recipes/2008/09/brownie_chunk_cookies.
I mistook the concept of brownies and Tollhouse cookies to mean: a whole brownie wrapped in cookie dough versus chunks of brownies IN a Tollhouse cookie batter (in addition to the chocolate chips). That sounds amazing too but for the moment I am stuck on my own rendition of a whole fabulous brownie wrapped inside cookie dough.
