Paleo Brownie Cookies
These Paleo Brownie Cookies are insane! They have the structure of a cookie but they’re filled with rich and decadent dark chocolate flavors. In addition, they’re crispy along the edges and chewy in the middle. After combining my two favorite desserts into one epic cookie dough stuffed brownie, I knew I had to revisit these flavors again. Truly the best of both worlds!
