These look like mini brownies at first glance, but when you take a bite you get a chocolaty crunch like a candy. These are quite lovely frosted. I make little flower decorations on the tops of each.

To make the Cookies

- Grease a mini muffin pan. Use a small ice cream/cookie scoop to drop balls of mixture into each cup of the pan. Flatten (wet your hands to help prevent sticking, if desired).
- Place in the refrigerator to chill. When firm and chilled use a small knife to remove each cookie. Set on a flat surface. To make the Frosting
