Ingredients

For the fudge brownie filling

For the cookie dough

Instructions

To make the fudge brownie filling:

  • Place the sugar, butter, cocoa, and salt in a large microwave-safe bowl, and microwave in one-minute increments, stirring, until the butter is completely melted and the mixture feels very warm to the touch.
  • Stir in the egg vigorously.
  • Fold in the flour.
  • Stir in the vanilla.

To make the cookies:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees, and line baking sheets with parchment.
  • Cream the butter and sugar, just until smooth and combined.
  • Mix in the egg until incorporated.
  • Stir in the vanilla.
  • Add the cornstarch and salt, and mix on medium-low speed.
  • Stir in the flour, 1/2 cup at a time.  Stop adding flour when the dough gathers itself into a ball and pulls away cleanly from the sides of the bowl.
  • Roll the dough out between 2 sheets of parchment paper, to a thickness of 1/8 inch.*
  • Use a 3-inch diameter cookie cutter to cut circles.
  • Place a scant tablespoonful of fudge brownie filling in the center of each circle, and fold 3 sides of the circle inward to create a triangle.
  • Pinch the corners to seal them, and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until just beginning to turn golden around the edges.

Notes

*Rolling pin rings will help you get an even thickness.
