Cookie Dough Brownies Is The Perfect Match

I made these delicious Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Brownies when I visited my buddy at the end of 2013.

He knows how much I enjoy being in the kitchen, so I thought it would be a pleasant surprise to give him and his daughter a treat when I went for a visit.

Like myself, he loves brownies and cherry cheesecake, although I never did get around to baking him one of those like I said I would.

I’ve been meaning to post this recipe for a while now but I had forgotten about it until I found it in my archives which I was scrolling through the other day looking at photos.

Blending Two Recipes Into One

What I did was I took my chocolate chip cookie and fudgy brownie recipe and created this cookie dough brownie recipe.

I’m forever making homemade cookies and testing new homemade brownie recipes, so I figured I could combine the two to make this bar recipe.

Why enjoy a regular brownie when you can jazz it up? Don’t get me wrong, I stand by the Classic Fudge Brownie.

You only have to look at my Pinterest page to see how much I love brownies.

There are well over 2000 Brownie Pins and plenty of brownie-loving followers.

For this recipe, I wanted to make sure that the brownie was dense and fudgy because you don’t want to make this a cake brownie as you might struggle with the cookie dough topping.

Making The Cookie Dough Brownie Base

I used my own brownie mix recipe Mr. CBB’s Fudgy Brownies and eliminated the baking powder to achieve the dense texture.

Even though I find my brownies are dense, you will appreciate leaving it out.

You will also notice that I add lots of chocolate chips to my brownies and that’s what makes them so unique.

But don’t tell anyone I told you that; it’s my brownie-baking secret. Shh!

Once the brownies are baked let them cool down to room temperature, then make your cookie dough topping.

I know you might think that eating a brownie with cookie dough on top sounds odd and very sweet but don’t worry I promise you will love them.

I can agree, though, that these cookie dough brownies are lovely but you wouldn’t be reading this if you didn’t like sweet treats.

Besides, the photo kind of says it all.

Lots of chocolate love!

Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Brownie Topping

Some of you might be wondering about the cookie dough and eating raw eggs, but don’t because I’ve removed them from the recipe, and it still tastes fantastic.

You will have no worries about salmonella poisoning.

Since we are not baking the cookie dough you don’t need the eggs or the baking powder or baking soda I would typically use in a chocolate chip cookie.

You will notice a fair amount of butter, sugar, and milk to tie it all together, but it will make sense once it’s all done.

Once the cookie dough was done, I spread it over the cooled brownie and refrigerated it for a couple of days before heading to my best friend’s house.

Can you freeze the chocolate chip cookie dough brownies?

I put them in the freezer after 12 hours so they traveled frozen.

That way, I didn’t have to worry about them melting on the way to his house.

When I made this particular batch, I used tinfoil pans from the Dollar Store.

They seem to be half a pan of a 9×13 tray of brownies however, you can make this cookie dough brownie mix as thick or thin as you want, depending on the pan size you use.

These brownies are best eaten after 12-24 hours, giving them time to set and the flavors to shine through.

When you cut them, use a sharp knife and cut them cold; that way, they don’t mush on you like they might if you wait until they come to room temperature.

On the top, I drizzled more chocolate, but I waited until I cut them.

That way, it was easier to cut the brownies.

You can also add coconut on top, or some people like to add mini chocolate chips too, then drizzle with more chocolate.

I hope you enjoy these cookie dough brownies as much as we both did.

In fact, I think he enjoyed them more than me because the tray was gone within a day.

Cookie Dough

• 1 cup of unsalted butter

• 1 cup packed brown sugar
• 3-4 tablespoons of 2% milk
• 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
• 2 cups chocolate chips (you can use 2.5 cups of mini or regular semi-sweet)
• 1 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour
• Pinch of salt
• 1 cup of chocolate chips to melt and drizzle on top if you want, but it looks pretty!

Instructions

1. Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees
2. Brownies
3. In a mixing bowl, sift the dry ingredients together (flour, cocoa powder, salt)
4. Mix your butter, sugar, and vanilla in another bowl.
5. Add your eggs one at a time, then mix.
6. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix.
7. Add toasted walnuts (optional) and chocolate chips and fold them in.
8. Line a 9×13 baking pan with parchment paper or tin foil so you can easily remove the entire pan of brownies once they are cooled and you are ready to cut the finished product.
9. Bake at 350 for 20-25 mins. Test with a toothpick to ensure it comes out clean, but don’t over-bake.
10. Cookie Dough

12. Add in your vanilla and milk and combine.
13. Add in the flour and salt, then mix.
14. Fold in your 2 cups of chocolate chips until combined.
15. Once your brownie base is cooled, evenly spread a cookie dough layer on top. Cover with tin foil or wrap and refrigerate for 12-24 hours or freeze until needed. Once you need it, take it out and cut it while it is cold so you get nice brownie bars.
16. If you wish to drizzle more chocolate or other goodies on top, I did it once I cut the bars.
