Brownie Cookie:

1 cup unsalted butter

1 cup white sugar

3/4 packed brown sugar

2 eggs

1 tsp vanilla

1/2 tsp salt

1 1/4 cups unsweetened cocoa powder

1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour

1 tsp baking powder

1 tsp baking soda

Directions:

1. Heat oven to 350 degrees.

2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar and white sugar until light and fluffy. Add the vanilla extract and then the eggs one at a time, beating well with each addition. Combine the salt, cocoa, flour, baking powder and baking soda and gradually stir into the creamed mixture.

3. Shape dough into 1 1/2 T sized balls and place on a baking sheet. Flatten cookies slightly with the bottom of a drinking glass or your palm.

4. Bake 8-10 minutes or until the cookies are puffy and the tops are cracked, but still soft. Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
