Notes

- Make variations in cookie's flavor according to your taste.
- Baking on stovetop, make sure to place an stand at the bottom of the pan to adjust a suitable distance between the bottom and pan. 4 to 5 inches distance will be ideal as it will save your baking dish to burn.
- Wisely monitor the stove top temperature to cook brownies. Initially bake on the high temperature of stove top for 5 minutes then turn the heat to medium to low to puff the brownies from inside.
- Use the proper pan to cook cookies on the stovetop. Nonstick is ideal as per my experience.
- Use safety accessories like gloves or tong to handle the pan.
- Check the cookies with a fork before taking out from the pan.
