Chocolate Brownie Cookies

This might be what you're looking for - they're a little crispy ... and slightly chewy.

Brownie Top Cookies

Combine the following in a mixing bowl:
1 and 1/3 cups powdered sugar
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa
1 teaspoon espresso powder
Pinch of salt

Then add:
2 egg whites
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Beat well for about 2 minutes on medium speed.

Fold in:
2/3 cup toasted walnuts or pecans
1/3 cup chocolate pieces

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Drop batter onto 2 parchment paper lined cookie sheets. Allow room for cookies to spread, baking only 5 or 6 cookies on each sheet. Bake for about 15 minutes, until cookies become shiny and crinkly on top. Cool completely before peeling cookies off parchment. Yield: about 10 cookies.

Paula Deen Is Trying to Kill Us, Part 3

Don't eat the damn food if you don't like the content! You are not being forced to make these recipes, nor eat the food. YOU eat what YOU like and the rest of us mature adults will eat what WE like. I am sure that you have eaten a hamburger, french fry or doughnut in your lifetime....well, guess what, you have just eaten a fried cheese and butter ball. It's all the same thing, just a different flavor.

Remember, it is people like you and me who made her famous, not to mention her scrumptious recipes. There is no harm in eating food like this if you ingest in moderation.

Paula Deen Is Trying to Kill Us, Part 3

bigassbob, all I can say is AMEN! When I began viewing this blog, I loved it. After viewing it daily, I have come to realize some, but fortunately, not all, claim to be serious foodies, while in reality are simply food SNOBS. Lighten up, people! We all are allowed to make CHOICES, and some choose to occasionally make a poor nutritional choice, just for a buttery/cheesy/creamy/chocolatey sensory satisfaction. We don't ALL just eat to live. How boring is that? I had no idea the food police monitored this so closely, yet the same people constantly bad mouth anyone who dares to be different, or shows creativity, no matter how bad the creation. Paula may not be my favorite food personality, but who am I ---- or you, to tear her apart? Save it for those more worthy. You all love and approve of Bourdain, who eats live snake hearts and all manner of strange things, but let that southern lady promote her love of butter and such, and you're ready to lynch her. Ya'll probably secretly have to hide in your closet to enjoy any type of goodie, after all the preaching you do. How much fun are you to live with? You may live long, but not well. Being the serious foodie I am, all this serious talk has me craving something decadent. Maybe I'll whip up a batch of Paula's Velveeta fudge, or her Gorilla cake, or her wonderful blueberry dumplings. Has anyone tried them? Yummy!

Paula Dean can simply say the word "mayonaise" I practically burst into flames. She is unbearable, her recipes are down right irresponsible (and nasty). Have you seen The Lady's Brunch Burger recipe? Bacon and a fried egg, on top of a burger w/ a glazed donut serving as the bun.

I am not making this up.
