I have always had a thing about cakey cookies…and by “thing” I mean I don’t like ’em, I like cookies that are crispy and chewy. I guess I also have a thing with brownies too. I like the crackly top, somewhat dense, maybe fudgy and gooey kind of brownie. So, without seeing a picture of these, that is what I was expecting. Instead, these were more like cake. In fact, so much like cake that someone at the office asked me if I was the one who brought in the chocolate cake (despite my efforts to cut them up in to brownie looking pieces).
I did like the slight honey flavor, but otherwise found these sort of disappointing. If I was going to make a chocolate cake, there are way better recipes out there for it (Dorie’s got a couple!!), and if I’m going to make brownies, well…same thing. These weren’t gone from the kitchen until way late in the afternoon, so my guess is that I wasn’t the only one who didn’t love them!
Always good to try something new though!! Thanks to Suzy for hosting this week!!
Honey Muffin 
Agreed. Not a favorite here, either. At least we tried!
I thought they were ok, but my husband ate quite a few of them. Mine didn’t bake up quite right. They were cakey but also gooey (but not in a good way). I love baking with honey, so it was nice to give them a try.
Sounds just like me – not a big fan of these, but my office loved them! 🙂 Cake or not, your little slices are cute!
Wow, these look very tall and definitely cake-like! Mine were much more browniesque.
they look cute with the powdered sugar on top.
Ya win some ya lose some!! This was an interesting recipe! I like the pwdered sugar on top…
it’s good to try something new…and good to have coworkers who will gobble up what you don’t really like! 🙂
