Pillow Cookies

One of my favourite websites on baking is http://www.bakerella.com/.  She was featured on Martha Stewart's show and has just completed her first cake pops book!  I simply love her practical cake decorations.  Today I tried her pillow cookies.

First I used my favourite brownie recipe.

After baking, cut into small squares.  The missing pieces?  Oh, I was making sure the brownie was okay...

Then I used my favourite chocolate chip cookie recipe.  Since the brownie is to be put inside the cookie, I had to use quite a bit of dough.  I flattened the cookie dough and placed a piece of brownie on top.  Then I covered the brownie over with the cookie dough.

Here's what it looked like before hitting the oven.

Out of the oven!  Smells wonderful!  I placed a dinner spoon next to the cookie to show you how huge it is!  Definitely not for the fainthearted.  Beware of extreme sugar rush!

Doesn't this look simply wonderful?  Will I sleep after eating this (after all it's called "pillow cookie")?  Definitely not!  The first reason is because of the sugar rush I'll probably not sleep the whole night and secondly, it'll probably be wise of me to hit the gym immediately for the next one week!  Excuse me while I indulge...

Haha. It's like eating 2 cookies and a small piece of brownie. I suppose one pillow cookie per person is fine. Must eat slowly to savour the sinfulness!
