Chocolate Chip Brownie Swirl Cookies (aka Brookies)

Let’s talk about Fall. Are you a fan? I know… It’s hard to smooch Summer goodbye, but I have to admit, I ♥♥♥ Fall like whoa! Mainly because there are just so many things I’m looking forward to. Long afternoon bike rides, leaf peeping (we have so many colorful trees here in the Hudson Valley!), apple picking with my nieces, and late night hot toddies by the fire.  

Speaking of excited. I’m also – obviously – super stoked for the Fall baking season! During the Summer it’s so hot even the most dedicated bakers slow down. But now that the days have cooled, it’s time to crank on the oven and bust out the butter! I’ve already churned out cinnamon sugar donuts, cinnamon swirl apple crumb cake, pumpkin pie cheesecake, and butter pecan blondies… so far September has been pretty sweet. Today it’s time to introduce cookies into our Fall baking party.
