Brownie-ish Cookies

 

I saw these delicious cookies on Dainty Chef's blog last week and immediately added them to my "to make" list. I followed the recipe exactly, but mine came out looking nothing like the flat, shiny-topped cookies that I saw on her page. Fortunately for me, though, they were still so delicious...just like a brownie!! I will have to try again to see if I can get the pretty appearance that she did, but until then I will enjoy devouring these ugly little ones :)
