Cookie Recipe #2
The second tray has a mini-brownie recipe that comes from Eagle Brand.

Moist Chocolate Brownies

The Eagle Brand Page is HERE

These mini-brownies were the result of fudge gone wrong.
I thought it looked a little too thin, so I quickly hit the Eagle Brand website for redemption!
Voila!
Their recipe for moist chocolate brownies was perfect!
I just had to add the dry ingredients and
8 egg whites!
{with all the melted choco chips I had, the recipe was doubled!}

okay
... here we go...
