Brownie Pecan Pie

I adapted this idea from Bakerella's own version over at bakerella. I used recipes from the Hummingbird bakery book (namely the pie base, brownie mix and pecan pie recipe) and banged it all together in a similiar fashion.

I'm afraid I'll have to get back to you with the exact ingredients as I've returned home for Christmas and my copy of the book is up in Dundee. So for now, enjoy the photos!

My first homemade pie base. You can tell!

Filled with the brownie mixture.

And on top of that, the pecan mix.

After a good few hours in the oven!

Last slice left!

Pillow Cookies.

It's been far too long! I've had a hectic few weeks, with bad grades, a weekend away, and a portfolio due in. Sorry that I've been neglecting this blog, but I have a post for you today and I'll have one tomorrow to make up for the wait!

This week's recipe is 'Pillow Cookies' which I discovered over at Bakerella! Brownies IN cookies?! Sounds good to me!

Now because I would be making brownies and cookies, I decided to cheat a little (or as Bakerella reccommends!) and bought a box mix. But, I did make the cookies from scratch from a recipe from Hummingbird (Perhaps I should venture into different baking books?)

After whipping up the brownies according to the box instructions, I baked them and then allowed them to cool. Whilst they were doing that, I made up the cookie batter. I then cut the brownies into squares. Taking a tablespoon of cookie dough, I squidged it down onto a baking tray, placed the brownie square on top and then put some more dough over the brownie.

I then repeated this step many times and cooked for around 10-20 minutes. Here's an inside look of a cookie!

Doesn't it look good? Full recipe and instructions at Bakerella's Pillow Cookies. Enjoy!
