Monday, November 5, 2012 Pillow Cookies After being in the new house for a few days Shane asked that I bake for him as he missed it while living in Auckland while I wound things up in New Plymouth. Pillow cookies have been on my list for a while so I decided to give them a go and try out the oven (for baking purposes anyways, all dinners thus far have come out of the oven just as good or better than usual -- YAY!), they were a success and are sure to become a household favourite -- you can't go wrong with delish chocolate chip cookies, add brownie pieces and hello heaven! Ingredients: 12 pieces of brownie (cut into roughly 1.5-2cm squares) 225 grams butter, room temperature 1 cups packed light brown sugar 2 large eggs 2 teaspoons vanilla essence 2 cups all purpose flour 2 teaspoons baking powder  teaspoon baking soda  teaspoon salt 250 grams dark chocolate chips Method: Make your brownie and cut into 12 1.5-2cm squares, if you are one step ahead of the game use brownie you have already made and want to use the rest of... I suggest Natalie's Chocolate Fudge Brownie , you will need less than half of it to use inside the cookies so bonus you get to enjoy that as well! To make your cookie dough, beat your butter until it is nice and creamy (2-3 minutes) Add brown sugar and beat until smooth. Add eggs and vanilla and beat
