Peanut Butter Temptations II
I'm making this for the holidays! I used a cookie scoop and made 24 of these and ate (gasp) 9 in 2 days. YIKES. Better send these out before I finish the whole batch!

Brooke's Best Bombshell Brownies
I used 2 cups white sugar and 1 cup brown sugar as others suggested but followed everything else. Baked for almost 40 minutes. They came out fudgy just the way I wanted! Might try with less white sugar next time. Note the quality of choco chips you mix in matters, so does the quality of cocoa. I topped a batch with some cheesecake batter I got from another recipe for cheesecake brownies and they were perfect. Yummy!

Felix K.'s 'Don't even try to say these aren't the best you've ever eaten, because they are' Chocolate Chip Cookies
This is exactly the recipe I was looking for! The cookies came out chewy, with a crispy outer edge - perfection! Just like another reviewer said, they're like Subway cookies. I like my cookies chewy, and the crispy outer edge is enough so that it doesn't fall apart and doesn't appear underbaked. It is a large cookie - about 1/4 cup dough for each. Notes: The recipe didn't say if brown sugar was to be tightly packed or lightly packed; I made mine tightly packed. I didn't grease the baking sheet since the recipe didn't call for it, not a problem at all... it actually came out a bit greasy. I left the cookies on the baking sheet for 10 minutes after taking them out of the oven (15 mins baking time), then put them on paper towels to absorb some of the grease. I can understand how the title can put some people off. It uses a lot of ingredients and I was a bit afraid to make the full recipe but went for it anyway. I'm more than happy I did!!! SINFULLY YUMMY!
