Chewy Chocolate Cookies with a Kiss!

These cookie kisses might just be a great Valentine for the chocolate lover in your life.

Not too long ago I posted a "Homemade Brownie Mix" that produces the best homemade brownie I have ever eaten!  And at 64+ years old that is a lot of brownies!!  Well anyway.......this is a drop cookie you can make from the same homemade brownie mix and sort it of broaden your horizons as they say.  The Homemade Brownie Mix was posted on 10/15/12 and the post is available if you just ask for it in the finder box toward the bottom of the right hand column,

Ingredients for Chewy Chocolate Cookies:

1/4 C. butter melted
2 eggs beaten
1/4 C. water
2 1/4 C. Homemade Brownie Mix
1/2 t. baking soda
3/4 C. flour
1 t. vanilla
Walnuts or Pecans, Kisses candy, Chocolate chips, Diced cherries, all OPTIONAL additions.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F and grease baking sheets if you are not using parchment or sil pat baking mats.

Combine butter, eggs, and water in a medium sized mixing bowl.  Beat with a fork until well blended.  Stir in brownie mix, baking soda, flour, and vanilla.  Blend well.  (You may add a few droplets more of water if needed.  Batter should be quite thick.)  Add additional nuts or other optional goodies stirring just to incorporate.

Drop by teaspoonfuls 2" apart on prepared baking sheets.  Bake 10-12 minutes.  Cool.  Yield 36 cookies.
