These Chocolate Brownie Cookies are rich and super chocolatey. They have a crunchy and slightly chewy outer with a soft rich and delicious brownie inner.

Just 10 sleeps until Santa comes down your chimney!

When Santa comes down my chimney, I want him to be greeted by something special. I figured that when he visits most homes on his endless list, he’d be greeted with treats. No wonder he has a strapping waistline eh?

My home will be warm and cosy for Santa’s arrival. The fire will be off (obviously) and there will be a warm festive glow from my Christmas tree directing Santa, like aircraft landing lights, to his destination. He’ll shuffle under the weight of his giant sack breathing a big sigh of relief after he’s perfectly set all the goodies under the tree.

He will then make his way to the chimney to continue his insane travels when he sees his reward, chocolate brownie cookies. A treat so good, even a full Santa couldn’t refuse a cheeky nibble.

He smiles as he takes a big bite. Greeted by an overwhelming rich and decedent chocolate taste. A happy sigh escapes as he takes another bite relishing the crunchy slightly chewy outer yet super soft centre. He signs his name on the bottom of the note the children had left for him and leaves.

Yield: 16-18 cookies

Hope you enjoyed my little story above. It’s been one of those days today. I’ve been fed up and unhappy but as always, the loved ones come to the rescue.

My daughter wrote a story at school in her spare time. Yes, you read that right. It’s very creative and cheered me up. It inspired me to write a happy story too. 🙂
I got a hamper of goodies from a mystery someone!!!!

About 4 hours ago, I had an unexpected visitor. I opened the door to a man, a stranger. He stood there with a with a decorated box of goodies packaged with cellophane… a hamper. I didn’t process that this was actually for me.

He explained that he was from the ‘basket brigade‘ and that someone in my local community has nominated me to receive a hamper. I just stood there. All I could say was ‘wow, thank you’ repeatedly. I was speechless. I asked if he knew who it was, he didn’t.

Whoever you are and if you’re by chance reading this, THANK YOU so very much!! My faith in the Christmas spirit has truly been restored.

Has anyone ever done anything for you that totally took you by a happy surprise?

  I know. I really wish I knew who nominated me for the hamper, I'd like to thank them personally. I was having a really tough day too, everything was going wrong and I was in such a foul mood until the knock at the door. Totally made my day!
  
  Thanks Marjorie. Hope you and your family have a magical Christmas too.

  Well, he's a really busy fella that night. I thought he'd need the calories to continue his journey but something so delicious, he'd remember my house and like visiting it each year too. :D
  
  Thanks Kayle.

This is absolutely priceless--lovin' the story, gal! And I bet your daughter is a great writer, too. Thank you for sharing! These cookies look like the chocolate truffle fudge ones I like to stuff with raspberry cheesecake filling :)

  My eldest daughter is a great writer. She's one of those quiet girls that loves reading her books and then gets inspired to write her own stories. I recently started a blog for her too.
  
  Those raspberry cheesecake stuffed chocolate truffle fudge cookies you mentioned sound insane, in a good way! Thanks Ala.

  Delicious? They're divine! I couldn't stop at one, that brownie inner is so much of a treat.
  
  Thanks Anna. I'm glad I came across your adaptation of this recipe. It's a keeper for sure.

That was the cutest holiday story I've read so far! And seriously, you better watch or Santa will expect these cookies all year round! ;) And congrats on your basket - that's so sweet. It's so heartwarming to see communities coming together like that to show how they care about each other <3

P.S. Love the holiday design up on the blog!

  If Santa wants these cookies all year round, he can now see the recipe and can pester Mrs Claus to make them. :)
  
  I'm still gobsmacked about receiving the hamper. I really wish I knew who sent it so I could thank them personally but a mysterious donor at Christmas time is so magical. Thanks Jess, I'm glad you like the Christmassy design.

I just made some cookies like this today! And I've figured out they're kind of the perfect type of cookie for me because they're rich enough so one is enough!

Yours look beautiful and I hope you had an amazing weekend!

  I just saw, Loretta, they look so very divine. You must have some serious self-control because I couldn't stop at one and they are rich enough too. Must be the chocolate fiend in me. Thanks Loretta.
