Brownie cookies sandwiched together with a fluffy peanut butter frosting! The cookie has a thin crackly surface (just like normal brownies!) and is soft and moist on the inside. Not dense and fudgey, not cakey, it lies in between. Possibly the most indulgent cookie I have ever had. The frosting is fluffy and creamy with a touch of salt which cuts through the richness. I made these quite large - around 3.5" / 8.5cm in diameter - and it makes 10. These are an extremely generous serving and quite rich so if you don't have a major sweet tooth, you may want to make them smaller (makes 20 cookies with a 2"/5cm diameter).
