To give me inspiration, Pillsbury sent me a few items and I let my creativity flow and I came up with a Brookie-cake!

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup butter or margarine
• 1/3 cup Cocoa
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1 tsp Watkins™ Vanilla

Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350°F.  Line one cupcake pan with Reynolds Baking Cups.

In a medium saucepan melt butter over low heat (or melt in microwave in a one-quart container).  Remove melted butter from heat, add cocoa, and stir until well-blended.  Add sugar and mix well.  Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.  Stir in vanilla, flour and salt.  DO NOT OVERBEAT.   Spoon into 12 prepared baking cups,  Spoon one walnut size piece of Pillsbury Cookie Dough into each cup.
