Cookie Dough Brownies

It is going to be an awesome, amazing, and incredible week here at Baking Delights. Why? Because I am having serious chocolate cravings and I am posting a new brownie recipe every day. Yep. You too, can come along on my journey to chocolate nirvana as I make a date with Hershey’s every single day. These will be the ultimate chocolate brownie recipes. Promise.
We are kicking it off today with a chocolate brownie that would be comfortable in any gourmet gift basket or amazing at a church picnic. I think they are my new favorite..today anyway. Who doesn’t like chocolate chip cookie dough better than the actual cookie? C’mon, be honest. Mmmmhmm..thought so. Well this amazing brownie has a bottom layer of chewy, intense, chocolate goodness, followed by a layer of, yes!, cookie dough, followed by a rich chocolate glaze. Cut them small because they are very, very rich.
I saw the recipe for the first time a couple of days ago on Barbara’ s site, Bless Us O Lord and I was intrigued. I was all ready planning a rocky road brownie that I have been working on to take to a church picnic on Sunday so I didn’t get to try it until Monday. Wow.
For the first time ever I have made a pan of brownies that have lasted more than an hour. Not because they are not good but because they are so rich even the kids were quite happy with a small piece. I did change it up a bit, the original glaze was melted chocolate chip, however I prefer a glaze made with cocoa and melted butter and confectioners as I feel I get a more intense chocolate taste.
Cookie Dough Brownies
2 c sugar
1 1/2 c flour
1/2 c Hershey’s Special Dark cocoa
1/2 tsp salt
1 c vegetable oil
4 eggs
2 tsp vanilla
Combine the flour, cocoa, and salt. Combine the oil, eggs, sugar and vanilla and mix for 3 minutes on medium speed. Spread n a greased 9×13 pan and bake at 350f for 25-30 minutes. Do not overbake. I took mine out slightly underdone because I like chewy brownies. Cool completely.
Cookie Dough Layer

1 c brown sugar
1/2 c sugar
2 tsp vanilla
2 T milk
2 c flour
mix in mixer until smooth. Spread over cooled brownies. Refrigerate.
Glaze
1/2 c unsalted butter melted
1/2 c Hersheys Special Dark cocoa
1/2 c confectioners sugar, give or take.
mix together until you get a smooth, glossy glaze the texture of melted chocolate. Spread over chilled cookie dough layer. Chill.
Makes 1 9×13 pan.
