Last night Sister #1 made this wonderful dessert for a small dinner gathering.
Folks, the picture of the dessert is not deceiving. It really is as tasty as it looks. I mean, a brownie and a cookie combined? Come on, you know it taste heavenly. After one bite I knew it was very unhealthy. I could taste the butter goodness.
One difference between Sister #1 and myself is I eat something like this and analyze how much butter, sugar, or anything that's bad for you, is in the food. Last night was no exception; which is why this conversation took place....
Me: This is unhealthy?
S#1: Yes, but it's good.
Me: It has a lot of butter?
S#1: Not too bad.
Me: Lots of oil?
S#1: Everything has oil and butter.
S#1: It only had 2 tablespoons of butter in the brownie part.
Me: Wow that's not bad at all.
S#1: Oh and it had 4 tablespoons of butter in the cookie part.
Me: OH MY GOSH that's like a cup of butter. (I really have no idea how much butter is 6 tablespoons. American Math!)
Obviously, it wasn't gross because how could this creation be gross? I did feel better when our dinner host mentioned how many sticks of butter PW used last month. The amount is obscene! I would tell you the exact amount, but I don't remember the number. Oh wait I found it, 484 sticks! Can you imagine eating 484 sticks of butter? Wait a minute, how does PW stay so skinny? Do you know that 484 sticks of butter is 392,040 calories? Do you realize it took Google + 3 minutes of math to figure the calorie count out? Seriously, I need to work on my math skills!

It's less than half a cup, thankyouverymuch. You haven't eaten brownies until you eat my 3 sticks of butter brownies. They are worth every clogged artery.
those look very yummy and would be even better with ice cream on top!
Looks SO delicious!! I can just taste the buttery goodness and won't rest until I've eaten one!
Oh yeh...butter is in everything good. But 16 T. are in a cup. So eat 2 1/2 cookies to get your 1 cup of butter for the day...unbelievable, huh? I just recently saw a recipe for some brownies similar to this but there were double-stuffed oreos baked inbetween the choc. chip part and the brownie part!!!
P.S. Avenue Brigade plays pop rock!
I remember the first time I walked into the kitchen when somebody was about to make cookies. (It wasn't that long ago, actually.) I freaked a little, then decided that from now on I'd just rather not know.
