COSMIC COOKIES

Deeply chocolatey with thick, tender bases, indulgent fudgy frosting, and the classic, colorful smattering of cosmic sprinkles (of course), cosmic cookies are an obvious adaptation of iconic cosmic brownies. To be honest, I couldn’t tell you which of the two homemade versions I prefer.

The base for this recipe was an easy one to choose. I opted for the same chewy, brownie-style cookie that I’ve used on several of my gourmet cookies (including my buckeye cookies and dirt cookies). It’s a nice, thick cookie base that works well with scores of different toppings, but it neatly fit the bill for the nostalgic chocolate experience I was aiming to recreate.
