Brookie’s Cookies

Tuesday, February 9th, 2010

Are buttery, sweet, gooey cookies something that I recommend eating every day? Of course not! But every once in a while, I’ve got to say “let them eat cookies!” Valentines Day may be just the occasion for a little indulgence with and for the ones you love. I share this recipe with warning: they are devilshly delicious and arguably the best cookies you’ll ever eat. You’ll want that Cardiopump Fusion DVD close by, because these little morsels of deliciousness may need to be closely followed up with a hardcore sweatfest.

Brookie’s Cookies
3/4 c. softened butter
1/4 c. packed brown sugar
1/4 c. white sugar
1 egg
1 t. vanilla extract
1 1/4 c. all-purpose flour
1 c. graham crackers, broken in to tiny pieces and/or crumbs
1/2 t. baking soda
1/2 t. salt
1 1/2 c. Kraft miniature marshmallows
10 Hershey’s Bliss white chocolate squares (this can be found with the candy at the grocery store in bagged chocolates)

Chill the white chocolate squares in the refrigerator.
Beat together the butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Blend in egg and vanilla. Slowly blend in flour, followed by baking soda, and salt. Remove the white chocolate squares from the refrigerator, dispose of the foil wrappers and cut into tiny pieces with a sharp knife. Stir white chocolate pieces and graham cracker pieces/crumbs into the dough.

Drop by tablespoon onto a buttered cookie sheet, about 3-inches apart.

Bake in pre-heated oven at 375 degrees for 8-minutes. Pull cookie sheet out and push 4-6 miniature marshmallows into each cookie. Place cookie sheet back into oven, and continue baking for an additional 2 minutes, or until marshmallows and dough are browned, but not melted. Remove and allow cookies to cool before removing from cookie sheet onto a plate. Enjoy… in moderation.

Happy Valentines Day!
