Hey friends! It’s Aimee. Coming to you from Illinois.

Our move went smoothly. I forget how much work it is to unpack though. And sadly, I think I have less cabinet space at this new house! It’s like a puzzle trying to figure out what will be stored where. And then I switch it around. I think I’ve rearranged my cabinets 4 times.

But, now I’m pretty sure I know where everything is. So much so, that I whipped up these Sugar Brookies the other day.

If you recall, brookies are a combo of cookies + brownies….a delicious combo if you ask me! Scroll down after the recipe and you’ll see I’m a bit obsessed!

Today’s recipe was inspired by the insane amount of sprinkles I unpacked. One whole cabinet of sprinkles. Priorities, right?

And, can I just say that I’ve typed SHUGAR (not SUGAR) twice now. It’s a problem I have. I know how to spell sugar, honest. As a reminder (I’m asked frequently) SHUGARY is a play off my last name. Which is fun and perfect for blogging….not so great when you need to write the word SUGAR and you want to stick an H in there every time! Ha.

As for these Sugar Brookies…they are obviously a combo of sugar cookies and brownies. And sprinkles, of course. You can use a boxed brownie mix for the bottom layer if you prefer, I enjoy this easy, one bowl from scratch recipe below. And they end up being so moist and fudgy.

Also, these are REALLY good on day 2. Dare I say I think they may even taste better! Crazy how that is sometimes, right!
