Patriotic Brownie Cookies - Recipe from Price Chopper

Make Brownies

1. Preheat oven to 350°. Line a sheet pan with foil.
2. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt butter and chocolate chips, stirring constantly until smooth. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
3. In a large bowl, whisk eggs, sugar, vanilla, and cooled chocolate mixture. Gently whisk in flour, cocoa, and salt until just combined. Pour batter into prepared sheet pan and smooth with a spatula.
4. Bake for 10-15 minutes or until a toothpick comes out with moist crumbs sticking to it (brownies may puff up in the middle).
5. Cool brownies in pan completely on a wire cooling rack, then use a 4-inch biscuit cutter to cut out as many circles as possible (any leftover scraps are great crumbled and mixed into homemade ice cream).

Make Frosting

1. Place cream cheese and butter in a medium bowl. With a handheld electric mixer, beat on medium speed until creamed. Beat in sugar, vanilla, and just enough milk to achieve a creamy, spreadable consistency.

Assemble

1. Spread cream cheese frosting over cooled brownie cookies, then generously top with sliced strawberries and blueberries.
