Pillow Cookies-Easy Cookie Recipes

1 cup (250 mL) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1-1/2 cups (375 mL) lightly packed light brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 large egg yolk
1 tbsp (15 mL) pure vanilla extract
2-1/2 cups (625 mL) all-purpose flour
2 tsp (10 mL) baking powder
1/4 tsp (1 mL) table salt
1/2 tsp (2 mL) baking soda
1 cup (250 mL) semi-sweet chocolate chips

Homemade or purchased brownies cut into 10, 1-inch (2.5-cm) squares

For cookie dough, in large bowl using an electric mixer on medium-high speed, cream butter and sugar 3 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, then yolk and vanilla. Beat until incorporated, about 5 minutes until lighter in color and fluffy.

In medium bowl, stir together flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Add half to butter mixture; beat on medium-low speed until just combined. Add remaining flour mixture; beat until just combined. Stir in chips. Cover dough with plastic wrap; refrigerate 1 hour.

Scoop 1/2 cups (125 mL) of batter. Work 1-inch (2.5 cm) brownie square into center. Press dough around brownie until covered. Shape into ball. Place on 2 parchment-lined baking sheets, about 2 inches (5 cm) apart. With moistened hands, flatten balls slightly. Refrigerate 15 minutes.

Bake in batches in preheated 350F (180C) oven 16 to 18 minutes, rotating once halfway, until edges are golden and tops still soft. Cool 5 minutes, then completely on rack. Store in airtight container.

Makes about 10.
