CHEWY CHOCOLATE COOKIES
This cookie recipe-a favorite of our four children-has been in my collection for years. Sometimes I'll substitute mint-flavored chips for the semisweet chocolate chips. Either way, the chocolate cookies disappear quickly. This is one of our favorite easy chocolate chip cookie recipes. -Sheri Ziesemer, Olympia, Washington

CHOCOLATE-CHERRY BROWNIE CAKE
My grandmother taught me the tricks to making this cake, and I've added my own special touches. The melted chocolate keeps the icing from being too dry and gives it a texture similar to chocolate ice cream. I have more requests for the icing than I do anything else! -Susan Hayes, Massapequa, New York

Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor. A good semi-sweet or bittersweet chocolate will work well.
- Make sure the butter and eggs are at room temperature before you start baking. This will help the ingredients mix together smoothly.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the brownies tough.
- Bake the brownies until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached.
- Let the brownies cool completely before you frost them. This will help the frosting set properly.
- If you don't have brownie cups, you can use a regular muffin tin. Just grease the cups well before adding the batter.
- You can also use other types of fruit in these brownies, such as raspberries, blueberries, or strawberries.
- For a richer flavor, you can add a tablespoon of espresso powder to the batter.
- If you want to make these brownies ahead of time, you can freeze them for up to 2 months. Just thaw them overnight in the refrigerator before serving.
