Brownie Cookies with Mocha Frosting - Oh my gosh these cookies are the things that dreams are made of.

cookie remake

Back in November of last year I had the pleasure of participating in a virtual cookie exchange with some of my blogger friends.

For this exchange, I made Chocolate Marshmallow Moonpies. These moonpies were a recipe from the lovely and talented Debra at Bowl Me Over.

And these moonpies were a recipe that Debra got from her Grandma.

Please, do go visit Debra, and give her a hello from me! You’ll love her recipes! Her Facebook is here and her Pinterest is here.

Recipe changes

Well, these chocolate cookies are so delicious that my husband and I decided to play around with the recipe a bit.

Debra had a delicious mocha glaze over the tops of the cookies that we decided needed to be the star of the whole show, and we wanted it to be a simple frosting. And we decided that for this version, they wouldn’t be sandwich cookies any longer.

So I thickened the glaze by adding some more powdered sugar.

variations you could try

I’m a big fan of experimenting and changing things up. For these cookies, you could put mini marshmallows or {affiliate link} dehydrated mini marshmallows on top and call them hot chocolate or hot cocoa cookies.

Top them with peanut butter frosting for a delicious twist.

I’ve made them into chocolate peppermint cookies as well.

Make them into a German Chocolate cookie with a German chocolate topping, and add some nuts and coconut into the cookie batter.

Oh my gosh they’re good!

The cookies themselves were perfect as is. No recipe adjustments necessary there.

Soft brownie cookies that are delicious by themselves. The recipe is a simple drop cookie, that’s almost like a soft cake.

But, top them with that mocha frosting and the become irresistible.

And, well, you may want to make a double batch of that frosting. I’m just sayin’! It’s so good!

I made a second batch recently of just the frosting, and I ate it on all kinds of things. Try it on crackers, on granola bars, with a spoon, and, of course, on these Brownie Cookies!

These chocolate cookies with chocolate frosting make the perfect Valentine’s Day dessert. Or, the perfect addition to a Christmas cookie exchange.

And if you love chocolate you must try these Chocolate Dipped Shortbread Cookies.
