Dessert : Almost Brownies

I was in the mood for brownies when I made these but I also wanted to try my White Chocolate Chip Cookies recipe as a cookie bar. In order to do that, I reduced the flour back down to the original amount and then doubled the entire recipe. It fit perfectly in my quarter sheet and I can easily see why this was meant as an ice cream sandwich cookie.

Ingredients:
* 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
* 1 1/3 cups sugar
* 2 eggs
* 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
* 1 1/2 cups flour
* 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
* 1 teaspoon baking soda
* 1/2 teaspoon salt

Directions:
Heat the oven to 350 degrees F. Prep your baking sheet by rubbing in some olive oil everywhere. Then mix all the ingredients in the above order until well blended. I add ingredients one at a time and mix thoroughly by turning on the kitchen aid and walking away so I don't watch it so much. Spread the batter into the baking sheet after it's thoroughly mixed. Be sure to make sure it's evenly spread. It will settle a bit and distribute itself as it cooks. I cooked this for about 15 minutes or 20 minutes. You just want to be sure it looks like a fully baked cookie on top.


They come out with a nice soft and moist center. Similar to brownies, but still not quite.
