Cookie Dough Brownies

Cookie Dough Brownies are an indulgent dessert made with a rich, fudgy brownie base topped with a thick layer of eggless cookie dough and finished with a chocolate ganache. Perfect for parties and special occasions.

Ingredients

Scale
  • For the Brownie Layer:
  • 1/2 cup 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 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:
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Make the Brownies: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch pan with parchment paper. Melt butter and chocolate together in a saucepan over low heat. Remove from heat and stir in sugar. Whisk in eggs and vanilla. Fold in flour and salt. Pour into pan and bake for 20–25 minutes. Let cool completely.
  2. Make the Cookie Dough: Beat butter with both sugars until light and fluffy. Add milk and vanilla. Mix in heat-treated flour until combined. Stir in chocolate chips. Spread over cooled brownie layer and chill until firm.
  3. Make the Ganache: Heat cream in a small saucepan until just simmering. Pour over chocolate chips in a bowl. Let sit for 2 minutes, then stir until smooth. Pour over cookie dough layer and spread evenly.
  4. Chill for at least 1 hour before slicing. Serve chilled or at room temperature.

Notes

  • Heat-treat flour in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5 minutes to make it safe to eat raw.
  • Use a warm knife for cleaner cuts.
  • Store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or freeze for longer storage.
  • Customize by adding nuts or using flavored chocolate chips.
