What to Do During a Snowstorm...

...make and eat more of these
yummilicious Brookie Bites:-)

What is a Brookie you ask???

That my friend, is a brownie and chocolate chip cookie
that has joined forces to tempt you to cheat on that diet.

Sadly, it is true.
I ate way more of these than I probably should have.
But it is winter and when blizzards and ice storms come blowing,
you need to eat to keep warm:-)
Now to get more time on the elliptical...
such a vicious cycle!

Who cares how much exercise this will cost me!
I just had to try putting a cookie inside a brownie bite...
I know surprise, surprise:-)
(think of all the cookie options you could do with this)

First you need to bake up your brownies...
I usually use a box, just because it is so much easier (and lazier:-)

While the brownies are cooling, mix up your cookie dough.
I used this same recipe found HERE but
I used vanilla extract this time.
Bake the cookies for about 7-8 minutes.
You want them to be soft and gooey...not crispy!
Try to resist the urge to inhale said gooey cookie.

Oh what the heck!
Go ahead and eat a few:-)

Let the cookies cool slightly, then
roll them into small bite sized balls.
(definitely easier to do before they cool all the way)
Place in the freezer and wait until frozen.
It will be hard but you can do it.

Then...
yup you got it.
Place that frozen cookie in the center of a small brownie
and start smushing it all around that cookie ball.
Now here is the hardest part...
you've got to freeze them AGAIN.

I know it's torture, but well worth it in the end.
You can reward yourself by eating
some of the brownie scraps to pass the time.

Once they are frozen enough,
melt some chocolate in the microwave and dip away.
Any sprinkles on top will do,
but it is that time of year so
hearts it is ♥
