Last Friday I went to a baby shower, technically a sprinkle, for a friend’s second child. It was a fun, conversation-filled girly evening at nail salon
Exactly what a baby shower should be! Lots of fun time with the ladies.
I hadn’t gotten a manicure in over a year, and I probably could count the number of times I’ve had my nails done on one, maybe two hands.
When your nails are like mine, and they have a tendency to break, you don’t give much time or energy to beautifying them other than the appropriate maintenance.
Also, since I’m always cooking, polish lasts for a minute, so I figure, why bother? Being in the kitchen is part of my identity, so having hands and nails that show their wear comes with it.
I was more excited about the friend time than the manicures. Of course I volunteered to bring something sweet.
I debated what to make. My indecision resulted in a batch of brookies (brownie cookies). Two desserts in one.
With a thick fudgy brownie base and a chocolate chip cookie layered on top, this combo dessert was a big hit and satisfied any pregnancy cravings for the mother-to-be.
These treats were simple to make. They just required patience, giving the batter and dough plenty of time to chill in the fridge.
I started with the chocolate chip cookie dough. After a few hours chilling, I shaped the dough into discs. They’re just smaller than the diameter of the muffin cups in the pan.
While the cookie dough was in the refrigerator, I made the brownie batter and divided it into the muffin pan. Then the brownies joined the cookies to chill.
Once fridge time was complete, I placed a cookie disc on top of the brownies in each muffin cups.
These brookies baked up rich and wonderfully gooey. They are pretty decadent, so we ended up sharing them among the girls at the shower.
