Fudgy Frosted Brownie Cookies

I tried these because I was intrigued by using Bisquick and I thought they would be quick because of that. They are quick and easy. They are also delicious. I only made a couple of small changes which I have include here. They are soft and really satisfy the desire for chocolate. Before I dropped the last 6 onto the cookie sheet, I added a couple handfuls of chocolate chips. You really should try them if you are a chocolate lover.

Makes 18
Cookies:
1 cup Original Bisquick mix
3/4 cup granulated sugar
2/3 cup chopped pecans
1/2 cup unsweetened baking cocoa
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup sour cream
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 egg

Frosting:
2 oz unsweetened baking chocolate
2 tablespoons butter or margarine
2 cups powdered sugar
3 to 4 tablespoons hot water


Directions:
1. Heat oven to 350°F. Spray cookie sheets with cooking spray. In medium bowl, mix cookie ingredients until well blended.
2. Drop dough by rounded tablespoonfuls about 2 inches apart on cookie sheets.
3. Bake 9 to 11 minutes or until set. Cool 2 minutes; remove from cookie sheets to cooling rack. Cool completely, about 15 minutes.
4. In 2-quart saucepan, melt chocolate and butter over low heat, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat. Stir in powdered sugar and 3 tablespoons of the hot water until smooth. (If frosting is too thick, add additional water, 1 teaspoon at a time.) Spread frosting over cookies.
