Brownie Cookies - Everyday Food
Did you hear the news? Everyday Food, one of my favorite magazines, is on the chopping block! The Kitchn reports that Martha Stewart's company is laying off staff and the magazine "will be cut from 10 issues a year to five, and will now be delivered as a supplement to subscribers of Martha Stewart Living rather than as a stand-alone publication." NOOOOOOoooooo! I love the magazine - it's simply easy recipes. I don't need to know how to make a 100,000 piece tablescape (with glue gun and upholstery nails) nor the best hair conditioners - stuff you find in other magazines. This was just food. And now I'm sad.
So, to honor Everyday Food, I made some Brownie Cookies. You can find the recipe online or in the great compilation book, Everyday Food Light.
These are round, flat brownies. They are very, very chocolaty. I made half the recipe, and the ratio between chocolate and flour shows that the flour just binds the chocolate and sugar together. :)
From Everyday Food, June 2009
12 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped fine
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup packed light-brown sugar
3 large eggs
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prep baking sheets with parchment paper.
Place chocolate in a double boiler or pan over simmering water. Stir until melted, then let cool.
In a small bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
In a mixer with paddle attachment, cream butter and sugars until lightened in color.
Add eggs and vanilla and beat until combined.
With mixer on low, alternately beat in chocolate and flour mixture; mix just until combined. Do not overmix.
Dish dough onto baking sheets. Bake 14-16 minute, rotating trays half-way though. Cool cookies on wire racks.

I'm totally sad about the Everyday Food news too. It was one of my faves!
Sad news I love this magazine too!
This is awful news, it is one of my favorite food magazines! Nice cookie recipe, though.
oh sad! Everyday Food is my favorite. i wonder how much of my subscription is left... :( these cookies look great, i will have to give them a try. i saw them in the mag but haven't tried 'em yet.
Oh no! I just subscribed to everyday foods too. Rats, my favorite magazine D:
I was told by customer service that December 2012 will be the last issue. Subscriptions will be rolled over to a Martha Stewart Living subscription.
H and I are making these right now! So fun to make cookies with my girl. We all love the batter, so the cookies are sure to be good.
To help with my grieving process over the loss of the magazine I made these this afternoon. To speed the healing I may have sampled too much of the batter and eaten more cookies than a person should, but it was just the grief talking.
