Cookie Dough Brownies.



Can I just say AMAZING! 
I will say You're Welcome now as these are that amazing that you will love me forever!

I know my photos are not perfect but hey I am just a girl with a baking problem ;)

I discovered these while browsing around on my new obsession Pinterest.
Thank you!!   http://www.recipegirl.com

Here we go

It took me more like an hour to make them.
I also had some help from my amazing cooking friend I.

make sure you have the butter at room temp.  It is important to make sure it blends correctly and if you melt it it may not.

I made the dough while the brownies were baking.
It is really amazing how good it is with no eggs!!

It was good that the cookie dough was a bit warm, it made it easier to shape onto the Brownies when it came time.

I did not have shortening to make the drizzle.  I used a bit of butter.  While it "worked"  it was not a smooth drizzle and i gave up and drew a chocolate smiley face. 
*note to self buy shortening*

I did not add the extra chocolate chips to the top after.   Honestly we forgot but it is delicious either way.

These are a delicious treat and one serving is just perfect.  
I would cut them individually if taking them somewhere.
Plus with the no eggs they can be left out at a pot luck no problem.

Enjoy, Happy Baking!!

Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Brownies

 32 brownies

Prep Time: 30 min + cooling time
Cook Time: 25 min
These brownies are a major treat for cookie dough lovers...

Ingredients:

BROWNIE:
4 ounces unsweetened chocolate, finely chopped
1 cup butter, at room temperature
2 cups light brown sugar, packed
4 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
COOKIE DOUGH (EGG FREE!):
3/4 cup butter, at room temperature
3/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
3/4 cup granulated white sugar
3 Tablespoons milk
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups mini chocolate chips
1/2 cup semisweet chips + 1 teaspoon shortening for drizzle, optional

Directions:

1. Prepare the brownies: Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Spray a 9x13-inch pan with nonstick spray. In a medium glass bowl, melt chocolate in the microwave in short bursts of 30 seconds; stir after each burst and remove from microwave when melted and smooth. Set aside to cool slightly. In a large mixing bowl, mix butter and brown sugar with an electric mixer. Beat in eggs and vanilla extract. Mix in melted chocolate. Blend in flour and mix just until combined (don't over-mix). Spread batter into prepared pan. Bake 25 to 35 minutes. Watch closely and remove from oven when toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool completely.

2. Prepare the cookie dough: In a medium bowl, use an electric mixer to combine butter, brown sugar and white sugar. Mix in milk and vanilla. Mix in flour just until combined. Stir in chocolate chips.
3. Spread cookie dough over the cooled brownies. Refrigerate until the dough is quite firm. It's okay to speed up the process and place it in the freezer too. The firmer the dough, the easier it will be to cut into neat squares. Use a sharp knife to cut the brownies. You may need to wipe the knife off with a paper towel in between cuts since the fudgy brownies and cookie dough will tend to stick to the knife a bit. These brownies are best to serve placed inside cupcake papers and served with a fork.
4. If you'd like to add chocolate drizzle on top, melt 1/2 cup chocolate chips with 1 teaspoon of shortening in the microwave; stir until smooth. Scoop the melted chocolate into a zip baggie and snip off the corner. Squeeze the bag to drizzle the chocolate on top of each brownie. Sprinkle additional chocolate chips on top, if desired.
