Questions you may have, and tips on how to make Cookies and Cream Brownie Cookies:
Can I use shortening instead of butter in this cookie recipe?
No. You will not get the same results as far as flavor, or texture if you use shortening. Butter is always better!
Can these cookies be made in advance and frozen?
Yes! The cookies can be frozen once they are baked and completely cooled. Or you can freeze individual 2 TBS scoops of the dough, and bake later! Just set the frozen dough on the counter for about 30 minutes before baking as usual.
I want to make these cookies but do not like mint. What can I do?
Simply omit the peppermint extract and replace the mint baking chips with more chocolate chips. Voila! Delicious Cookies and Cream Brownie Cookies without the mint.
