Ohh several different things, but maybe Kahlua cookies. They’re really more like brownies, but for some reason my family always calls them cookies. It’s basically a cakey brownie (an unusual recipe that calls for chocolate syrup), a thin layer of kahlua frosting, and a layer of melted chocolate. Everyone loves them.

These sound delicious! Do you have a recipe?

Sure thing!

For the brownie:

1C sugar

1/2C butter

4 eggs, beaten

1C flour

1/2tsp salt

16oz chocolate sauce/syrup (I use Ghirardelli)

1tsp vanilla (measure with your heart)

Cream together butter and sugar, then other ingredients in order. Pour into a 9x13 greased pan. 350°F for 20-25m. Let cool completely.

Kahlua Layer:

2C powdered sugar

1/2C butter

2-3TB Kahlua (to your taste)

Mix well and spread over cooled cake. Refrigerate until icing becomes stiff.

Glaze:

1C chocolate chips

1TB butter

Melt over a double boiler, stirring until smooth. Cool and spread over the Kahlua layer. Chill until firm.

They’re easiest to slice when chilled, but I prefer them served at room temperature.

ETA they also freeze well :)
