The five of us Mower girls would love to live in a row of neighboring houses on a cute little street, but we don't. We're not even all in the same state. Since we can't just run down the street with a pan full of our latest culinary discovery to share, we keep this blog as our virtual "family row". Here we can share the nifty and yummy recipes we come across with each other and pretend we're all enjoying it together.

Cookie Dough Brownies
Ok, so this is Ethan. I dont think that this will beat Nate's bangers and mash, but it was really really good. So here you go:
Brownie part:
1 cup butter
2 cups sugar
4 eggs
1-1/2 tsp vanilla
1/2 cup cocoa
1-1/3 cups flour
1/2 tsp salt
Cookie Dough Filling Part:
1/2 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 sugar
2 tablespoons milk
1 tsp vanilla
1 cup flour
1/2 cup chocolate chips
Glaze Part:
2 cups milk chocolate chips
2 tablespoons shortening
3/4 cups walnuts (or not, whatever)
Directions:
Brownie Part:
Cream butter and sugar together. Add eggs and blend well. Add Vanilla, salt, cocoa, and flour. Do not over-beat. Pour into a greased 9x13 pan. Bake at 350 for 25-30 minutes. Let cool completely.
Cookie Dough Part:
Cream the butter and sugars. Beat in the milk and vanilla. Gradually beat in the flour. Stir in the chocolate chips. I suggest mini chips, big ones were a little hard to eat being cold. Spread this over the cool brownies, you may have to use your hands to avoid beating up the brownies. Chill.
Glaze Part:
We did not have enough stuff to do the suggested glaze, so we just used a regular frosting. But here is the original intsructions:
Melt the chocolate chips and shortening in a microwave in 30 second increments, smoothing and mixing together each increment. When blended, spread over brownies. You can do your nuts now to if you want.
Enjoy!
This recipe wouldn't be the same without the picture at the end.
ReplyDeleteWe are definitely going to have to try those. We tried something like this a week or so ago, but it didn't work so well. We put a really thick layer of cookie dough on the bottom of the pan and then the brownie batter on top, hoping that the thickness of the dough would make the cookie dough cook slower to match the brownies. It didn't...instead it seeped up and over the top of the brownie batter making a hard burnt cookie crust...but the brownie inside the burnt cookie crust was good.
