I'll start by saying that these are a fantastic, unexpected treat. But the recipe needs work. This is not one of Pioneer Woman's signature recipes - it is something posted in her own online community by her fans.

The ingredients are mostly fine. If you are skeeved by the thought of using shortening, I think you can safely go with all butter (but not margarine). Three cups of chocolate chips are a tad excessive -- an 11 oz. bag is plenty.

These are giant cookies. The recipe says it will yield 15, but I got 18 huge cookies. You basically need 18 teaspoons of baked brownie. Feel confident that you'll be able to cut a half dozen good sized brownies out of that part of the project that you can set aside, freeze, or serve alongside the cookies.

The instructions with the two spoons on how to assemble the cookies are a little too fussy for my taste. Use the best tools in your arsenal - your hands and fingers. I do use a one-ounce ice cream scoop to drop most cookies. Set up three cookie sheets covered with parchment paper and drop the dough by rounded tablespoon, six cookies per sheet. They spread a fair amount. Wet your hands and flatten out the dough a bit. Wash your hands and then scoop the brownie part. Drop a teaspoon of brownie on top of each flattened mound of cookie dough. Then scoop and drop eighteen more portions of cookie dough. Wet your hands again to shape the dough over to cover the brownie. You should have a bit of cookie dough left in the bowl to seal up any "holes."

Bake ten minutes. Rotate all the trays and bake 8-10 additional minutes.

Chocolate heaven.
