lol) half stick of butter, melted, two eggs separated, 4 1/2 cups powdered sugar (a little over 1lb), 8oz cream cheese softened, 1 cup flour, 1 cup white chocolate chips or chunks (chunks taste better, but the chips are optional, I didnt have any at the time I was making these and left them out and its delish this way, but you need the chips for it to taste the most like the cheesecake brownies. If they are stale, they crumble right up and its pretty good therapy. Ingredients: 2 cups of stale chocolate chip cookies, crumbled very fine,(you can do this with a food processor, but I did it by hand. Here follows a recipe for a dessert that taste amazingly like the cheesecake brownies from Great American Cookie Company, and Ill follow up with more recipes, and whatever else I feel the need to share. This includes tips on how to achieve a fabulous mindset, because fabulous (wonderful, amazing, inspiring, role model, whatever you wanna call it) is as much as state of mind as being a jedi. So I decided to make this an all encompassing blog, and just fill it with every thing I do to make my life richer. I love to share my knowledge and tips and tricks, my cute ideas and money saving ideas. The thing is though, Im not stingy with the advice. Unfortunately, fabulous is not cheap, unless of course, youre me and you figure out how to do it cheaper than most people achieve average. My role models, from Lucille ball to Marilyn Monroe to your average 50's housewife did everything with style, and did it well. But my years of being flat broke, combined with being raised by an incredibly thrifty, crafty woman, has made me very creative in other areas of life as well. I have a whole bunch of super cheap, super easy meals that are delish leftover from my college days, recipes that needed to be foolproof due to a lack of sobriety while cooking most of them, and needed to be as thrifty as possible due to a lack of funds. It was originally going to be about recipes I have created, or will create. Imagine my surprise when I hit the nail on the head first try! I wanted to put this recipe out there, and began thinking about starting a blog. After much thought and deliberation, I decided that separating the eggs and whipping the whites, as well as adding in some flour, would give me at least a starting point. Of course, the texture was all wrong, so then I had to figure out how to make an ooey gooey dessert stiffer and more brownie like in texture. I am familiar with chess squares, my grandmother has been making them since I was a kid, and the flavor was similar, and the right color as well. In her blog she is talking about her chess squares recipe, and commented that the flavor reminded her of the very cheesecake brownies I was so set on, and it got me thinking. I was honestly stumped and surfing around looking for a recipe while I thought on it, and came across a great blog, Amanda and Kevin (which you should check out, she has some great recipes in it). I knew how to make the crust, due to a teenage job at said cookie company, so I pondered on the filling. I started breaking the flavors down by memory, in my head. A couple of people were asking for one, but no recipes. Surely, someone, somewhere, had this same craving as I had and had already duplicated the recipe. So I started looking for a recipe online. But I just cant afford to pay $5 for a brownie. This all started with a craving for Cheesecake Brownies from the Great American Cookie Company.
