​What do you do when you're home alone on a Tuesday afternoon, writing blog posts when an overwhelming craving for chocolate comes over you?  You make a batch of brownie cookies and eat them warm hot out of the oven.

​I was posting pictures for my Master Chocolate Chip Cookies when I just had to get up from the computer and find some chocolate - FAST.  (Power of suggestion I guess.)  My go to chocolate fix is chocolate chips but on this particular day, that was just not going to cut it.  I needed something deep, rich, dark and chocolaty to sink my teeth into.  Then it hit me - I had a recipe for brownie cookies saved to one of my pinterest boards.  Yep - a chocolate brownie cookie was exactly what I was craving.  

I pulled up the recipe from pastryaffair.com and started baking.  These were even easier to make than I thought.  Almost too easy really - this recipe could be dangerous.  I better have a batch ready the next time I need to write a blog post about chocolate.

​ Chocolate craving?  Not this girl.  I've got brownie cookies.

Once I have my cookie in hand, I could keep going on the Christmas decorations.  I've got a few more things to put up before I can officially declare this house "decorated" but I've got a pretty good start on it.

​I may be taking this Christmas decorating too far - I decorated Mia!  (She secretly loves wearing her jingle bells.)  This weekend we will put up our tree and then the decorating will be finished.  

Ciao!
