Had to substitute part butter for shortening, second time making these and it really did make a difference in texture. Adding mint chips instead of nuts takes up a notch!<\/p>","CommentId":5,"DateRated":"09\/18\/2016 14:55","GUID":"b2560b31e9704854ba014a5171e5308f","MemberId":7539243,"Rating":4,"ScreenName":"fallert","SubmittedDate":"09\/18\/2016 14:55"},{"Comment":"
What a disappointment! I substituted butter for the shortening, but other than that I followed the recipe exactly. They tasted great, but the texture was not what I was looking for. I was looking for a chewy cookie and these aren't it. I would describe them as \"cakey\" not \"chewy\". So my search for a truly chewy brownie cookie recipe continues...<\/p>","CommentId":6,"DateRated":"11\/29\/2015 22:36","GUID":"b0aaeeda3d8641f8854d5f7bce87f536","MemberId":8642308,"Rating":1,"ScreenName":"karikins","SubmittedDate":"11\/29\/2015 22:36"},{"Comment":"
I used half brown sugar and half white sugar! I used 1\/2 tsp. baking soda, rather than 1\/4 tsp. baking soda. I also used 1-1\/4 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips. I omitted nuts on account of nuts being an allergen to some people! I greased my baking sheets! I got more than 3 dozen-I'd say that I got close to 4 dozen! I baked 8 minutes at 375o F.<\/p>
These were a big hit with the Nutrition staff where I've been doing volunteer work for 2-1\/2 years! One of the staff members took some of these cookies home and her family really enjoyed them, too!<\/p>
Thank you for sharing this really wonderful recipe!<\/p>

I just made these and they are really good. Only changes I made: cut sugar by 1\/4 cup because I used milk chocolate chips and added 1\/2 cup coconut. Will definitely make again. Did not flatten out, maintained their shape nicely.<\/p>","CommentId":8,"DateRated":"09\/25\/2013 12:56","GUID":"82963A38892C4A1BA1A50FA8407D671D","MemberId":1835656,"Rating":4,"ScreenName":"carter210","SubmittedDate":"09\/25\/2013 12:55"},{"Comment":"
I just made these and they are delicious! I adjusted the recipe slightly so that's why only 4 stars. Instead of adding extra flour as others suggested, I just left out the water! But I also used 1\/2 cup cocoa because I wanted to leave out the chocolate chips. I used butter instead of shortening, and doubled the baking soda to 1\/2 tsp. I stirred in coconut and walnuts (no chocolate chips). Perfect! They do flatten out like cookies should but not too flat, and taste like brownies. Had no trouble scooping out dough with my cookie scoop, it's just like cookie dough.<\/p>","CommentId":9,"DateRated":"08\/14\/2013 13:19","GUID":"68c93d3e7cea4fd7aba80da241c4be00","MemberId":1458601,"Rating":4,"ScreenName":"TLPA","SubmittedDate":"08\/14\/2013 13:19"},{"Comment":"
After reading the reviews on these cookies (and many thanks for the tips!) I decided to make these. I altered the recipe to 2 cups flour, 1\/2 tsp baking soda, 1Tbsp Milk instead of water, then put the batter in the fridge to cool down. I took a big heaping tsp and rolled in a balls. Baked for 8 mins. I really have to say these are the best Brownie Cookies I have ever made!! These have become a big hit in my home! Thanks again for the recipe and all the reviews!!<\/p>","CommentId":10,"DateRated":"06\/17\/2013 14:04","GUID":"3bc1fae9c93144e09a57b38f532d8338","MemberId":7093684,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"Kathylalonde","SubmittedDate":"06\/17\/2013 14:04"},{"Comment":"
I have made these cookies many times before & they are delicious. The only thing I add is a cup of shredded coconut & dash of cinnamon. This recipe is great, keep their shape & don't flatten out.

With modifications, this recipe is one of the best chewy brownie cookie recipes I've tried. I doubled the recipe because of my large family and they freeze fantastically. Then adding additional flour, soda and salt so the consistency is workable, plus using an ice cream scoop made them stand up nicely. Will definitely make this again with my modifications.<\/p>","CommentId":14,"DateRated":"03\/02\/2013 16:15","GUID":"84695b62810847d7841469d2af1ca240","MemberId":4499086,"Rating":4,"ScreenName":"SuzBrinkman","SubmittedDate":"03\/02\/2013 16:14"},{"Comment":"","CommentId":15,"DateRated":"12\/23\/2012 06:57","GUID":"8ed0d7e54d54428bb9e4f70cc8b0e0ae","MemberId":3348467,"Rating":0,"ScreenName":"trippy2","SubmittedDate":"12\/23\/2012 06:57"},{"Comment":"","CommentId":16,"DateRated":"11\/09\/2012 15:54","GUID":"0b324a0d87f74a15ae15483dea60cdd6","MemberId":2401339,"Rating":4,"ScreenName":"angelasandoval","SubmittedDate":"11\/09\/2012 15:54"},{"Comment":"
Brought these to a BBQ and they disappeared in 60 seconds! I tweeked the ingredients just a bit - one third shortening and one third unsalted butter, cut back on sugar to 1 cup, added 1\/4 cup of dried cranberries and 3 Tblsp. of toasted Sesame Seeds.
