Brownie cookies

candymae23 — Mon, 03 Dec 2007 03:04:30 -0000

If you love sugar, and very sweet dessert. Brownie cookies are just the thing. It’s definitely a chocaholic favorite of mine. They are so freaking sweet that you can’t eat it without milk. If you need to watch your intake try non-fat or low fat milk.

I know not everybody likes chocolate brownie cookies because they are too sweet. Another alternative is chocolate mint cookies .

Ok Guys, Is there life after divorce?

OK, guys, I know you are bitter. In fact extremely bitter. You spent boat loads, and boat loads of money on lawyers. To put it simply, you lost your shirt. Your ex-wife has the kids, the house, the car, and half your paycheck. Yes, you are in a bad situation. But hopefully this story will make you feel better, because you are not at the bottom of the barrel. The story goes like this, a high level GE divorces his wife of 31 years. This high level GE executive will pay $17.3 million up front, and plus $252,000 a year in alimony and $180,000 a year in GE dividend equivalents. Now that’s really losing your pants. Most of us would never make that kind of money. Anyway, that amount was approximately 50% of the ex-couples estate as deemed by the judge. The point of the story is we’re lucky we aren’t that kind of money to our ex-wives. Luckily the sum is far less.

These are definitely my favorite cookies. I remember as a kid, nobody liked Almond Joy. When nobody would take them, I would. Almond Joys are actually, especially the sweet coconut.

Almond Joy cookies are definitely delicious, especially if Almonds Joys are good. This satisfies my chocaholic cravings, and a pinch of coconut definitely helps with the flavor.

Course eating Almond Joys is like drinking Dr. Pepper. Many people say it tastes like medicine. But for me it’s great. Just like drinking Mountain Dew, (Do the Dew).

I guess my tastes are just cultured, and require an acquired taste. The acquired taste definitely comes with age and experience. Without further delay, let’s check out the recipe. See below

2 Squares unsweetened chocolate

1 cn Sweetened, condensed milk

3 c Sweetened, flaked coconut

1 ts Vanilla extract

pn Salt

Almonds for garnish

Heat in a double boiler, 1 can sweetened condensed milk and 2 squares of unsweetened chocolate, until chocolate is melted. Stir until mixture is smooth. Pour over a bowl containing 3 cup of sweetened, flaked coconut. Add 1 tsp of vanilla extract and a pinch of salt. Mix well until coconut is completed coated. Drop on a cookie sheet which is line with parchment paper, by tspfuls. Press a whole almond into the top.

Bake at 350 degrees F. for 10 to 12 minutes. Check at 8 minutes, as bottoms of cookies brown quickly. Remove from oven, cool, remove from pan.
