Print Recipe

Cookie Dough Brownies are a decadent layered dessert combining rich, fudgy brownies with a thick layer of eggless cookie dough and a chocolate ganache topping. They’re the ultimate treat for cookie and brownie lovers alike.

Ingredients

Scale
  • For the Brownie Layer:
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
  • 8 oz semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • For the Cookie Dough Layer:
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tbsp milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (heat-treated)
  • 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
  • For the Ganache Topping:
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Make the Brownie Layer: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper. Melt butter and chopped chocolate in a saucepan over low heat, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  2. Stir in granulated sugar, then add eggs and vanilla. Mix until smooth. Fold in flour and salt. Pour into the prepared pan and bake for 20–25 minutes. Let cool completely.
  3. Make the Cookie Dough Layer: In a bowl, beat softened butter with brown and granulated sugars until fluffy. Mix in milk and vanilla. Stir in heat-treated flour, then fold in mini chocolate chips. Spread evenly over cooled brownie layer and refrigerate until firm.
  4. Make the Ganache: Heat cream in a saucepan until just simmering. Pour over chocolate chips in a bowl and let sit for 2 minutes. Stir until smooth.
  5. Pour ganache over chilled cookie dough layer and spread evenly. Chill for at least 1 hour, until fully set.
  6. Slice into squares and serve cold or at room temperature.

Notes

  • To heat-treat flour, microwave in a bowl for 1 minute, stirring every 15 seconds, or bake at 350°F (175°C) for 5 minutes.
  • Brownies can be made a day ahead and refrigerated.
  • Use a hot knife for cleaner slices.
  • Store in the fridge for up to 5 days or freeze for longer.
