Day 8... Crunchy Fudge Cookie Tin

 I am a brownie lover... truly I am.. there is probably a 12 step program for me ... but I love brownies.. they do not have to even be BROWN for me to eat them.. I love BLONDIES... CONGO BARS ... since truly I think they are all the same type food  BUT I COULD BE WRONG.... so when I have the opportunity to make something that even resembles brownies... I go "hog wild"...

Its the love of chocolate... I really believe that.. or I am just totally convinced of it in the meantime!  You can put nuts in them. I will eat them. You can add dried fruit, figs, and I will still eat them. Add a little marshmallow and though I am not a fan, I will eat them.. HONESTLY!!!!

I found this recipe which I believe I keep around to drive the teens and my fiancee crazy since its 1/2 healthy and 1/2 my love of brownies!  They are called Crunchy Fudge Cookies... we are great friends!!   {{recipe incluced - see below if you are dying to just bake up a batch! }}

I made a batch {{which actually made more than the 24 cookies it claims}} - filled two  tins with 6  cookies. 

I love the look of the belly band - and the flower..



Cookies just look like they are in heaven here....



 I used some ribbon behind the flower to dress it up a bit, added the tag, which is fitting for the occasion, since I wouldn't want to share them either... now I have proof I wouldn't have to.. I might use this as a my tag on all the goodies I do not want to use... so I do no have to! LOL!!!

EDITED TO ADD: Nugget tins can house 12 chocolate nuggets; I believe I purchased my tins through Specialty Bottle - HERE, since they are bookmarked on my computer. I have had these tins for a while now.

Last but not least... is the yummy recipe... that now that I have you this far, I can tell ya.. This recipe is gluten free... but that doesn't matter - you can always change it up if you wanna... but now you are shocked... I heard the "UGH?! REALLY? HOW COULD SHE?..." Yes I heard it. Hey, a gal has to to watch her waistline when she is addicted to this sort of eats.

Crunchy Fudge Cookies -- Gluten Free 

 Cookie Ingredients:

1 box Betty Crocker - Gluten Free Bownie Mix  

3 cups Cinnamon Chex - Gluten Free

1/3 cup water

1 egg, slightly beaten

2 Tsp Vanilla extract

1/4 cup semi sweet chocolate chips

Glaze:

3/4 cup confectioners sugar

1/8 -1/4 tsp ground cinnamon

3 Tsp milk

Heat oven to 350° F. Spray cookie sheets with cooking spray.

In large bowl, mix cookie ingredients with spoon until blended. Drop dough by rounded measuring tablespoonfuls about 2 inches apart onto cookie sheets.


Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until set.  In small bowl, mix powdered sugar and cinnamon. Stir in milk until smooth. If necessary, add additional milk 1 teaspoon at a time, until glaze reaches drizzling consistency.

Cool cookies for 2 minutes; remove from cookie sheet to cooling rack. Cool 10 minutes before glazing. Drizzle cookies with glaze.

** There are quite a few different ways to make these. Of course, this one is from Betty Crocker - you can view here. I have made and usually make this one  HERE from Fiber One, which again I do use the Gluten free mix. 

THE BEST OF THE WHOLE DANG THING... THEY ARE 70 CALORIES... when the cookie is made BIG ENOUGH... HOORAY!!!!!!
