Brownie Thins image

I pulled this from a Real Simple magazine and included them in the goodie bags I put together every year for friends and family. It got rave reviews so I thought I would share. You get to eat a brownie without all the guilt. Feel free to sprinkle the tops with any of your favorite nuts . These cookies can be made up to 5 days ahead...just make sure they are stored in an airtight container and kept at a steady room temperature.
