Chocolate Cookie Cake

This was supposed to be chocolate sugar cookies. Instead it turned out to be more like a chocolate cookie cake.

Here's what happened:
The recipe called to combine melted butter with the brown sugar, until lumps dissolve. Well, it's been so dry lately that there was even less moisture in the brown sugar I used. In other words, I had brown sugar rocks. By the time I worked those out with my egg beater, the butter had turned to cream. Whoops! When I added it to the flour, it didn't absorb any. Milk, maybe? I added a cup, 1/4 at a time, until the consistency was similar to a cake batter. Into the oven it went; I checked on it every 15 minutes to see how it was behaving. 50 minutes total baking time, which is short for my oven.

In the end it was a mixed breed, with the texture of moist cake in the middle, and the dryness of a soft cookie on the top and bottom. I think adding one more egg would've helped balance out the batter as well. Either way, you can't go wrong when paired with a glass of milk!
