Holiday Brownie Cookie

Is it a Brownie or a Cookie? How about a Holiday Brownie Cookie! You know you love a rich and chewy Brownie Recipe, so why not make it into a chewy chocolatey Cookie and dress it up for the Holidays! With added red and green M&M's this cookie is a fun treat for those little and big hands in your home.

This recipe is part of the Freaky Friday Holiday 2020 Recipe Exchange. I love meeting new bloggers and getting to know them while highlighting one of their recipes.

Not only is this recipe delicious but it's also super simple with only a few ingredients. It's easily thrown together for an after school snack. Let the kids decorate their own for a fun treat.

This recipe has been taken from LeMoine Family Kitchen and my friend Angela. She is also a mom of boys just like me! Raising all boys can be challenging but a blessing in my life as I'm sure Angela would agree. She has been blogging for many years and has some super fun recipes on her site.

Today I'm making the Holiday Brownie Cookie by Angela. Angela recommends using a Pillsbury Family sized Brownie Mix along with the Vanilla Flavored Frosting with Holiday Sprinkles. The frosting is actually green in color while still being vanilla flavored. Add a bag of Mini Red and Green M&M's to the mix and to decorate and you've got yourself one good cookie!

Ingredients:

• Pillsbury Family Size Brownie Mix
• Pillsbury Vanilla Flavored Frosting with Holiday Sprinkles
• M&M Red and Green Mini's
• Flour
• Vegetable Oil
• Eggs

Directions

• Preheat Oven to 350 degrees
• In a large bowl combine Brownie Mix with Flour and half the bag of Mini M&M's. This is helpful to make sure the flour is mixed well with the dry brownie mix as well as separate the M&M's in the mixture.
• Create a well in the center and add eggs
• Pour Vegetable Oil on top
• With a fork whisk eggs in well as best as you can and slowly incorporate dry ingredients
• Batter is pretty thick, you can switch to a large spoon if needed to full mix ingredients
• Batter will be a little sticky but will hold it's shape well.
• With a Medium Cookie Scoop, scoop cookies and place on a cookie sheet 2 inches apart
• Chill dough in freezer for 10 mins
• Bake at 350 degrees for 9-11 minutes. Cookies will be soft but cooked
• Allow to fully cool
• Spread Holiday Green Frosting on top of cookies and decorate with remaining Red and Green M&M's
• Makes about 24 cookies

Frosting Cookies

Frosting cookies can be so much fun and you really can do some fun things with what you have at home! For a fun added tip, place frosting into a quart sized zip-loc bag and snip the corner. Pipe a swirl starting in the center of each cookie to make them more festive.

Fun Fact:

Brownies are considered a Bar Cookie rather than Cake and eaten as a finger food like Cookies. Which makes a Brownie Cookie a perfect combination.

Another fun tidbit is Angela suggests wrapping these Holiday Cookies in a cute bag and attaching a cookie cutter with a ribbon to gift to neighbors, friends and even your children's Teachers. What a cute idea that is simple and easy to do.

Review

I found these cookies to not only be easy and a ton of fun but also rich, chewy and very tasty. My own boys loved the 'Holiday Cheer' and kept coming back for more. Although they did agree that eating one at a time with a tall glass of milk was ideal. They even agreed to help make them next time! That's a mom win right there!
