When I take these rich brownies to any get-together, I carry the recipe, too, because it always gets requested. Children of all ages love the tempting "cookie dough" filling. This special treat is typically the first to be gone from the buffet table - even before the entrees! -Wendy Bailey, Elida, Ohio

Tip

Substitute for Nuts

If your family loves the crunch of nuts in brownies and chocolate chip cookies, but someone is allergic to them, add granola or crisp rice cereal in the same amounts as the nuts called for in your recipes. But, always check the granola or cereal packages for nut allergy alerts to be certain.

Fantastic idea but the brownie layer themselves are nothing special. You'd never use the brownie recipe by itself, so next time I'll make brownies I LOVE and then layer the same cookie dough recipe on top. I added chocolate chips in the dough to make it seem like choco chip cookie dough. Great idea though and took them to a potlock and everyone loved them, just like I said, not the greatest base brownie recipe--I like them richer and gooier.

These were good, but my dad and brother thought they were a bit too sweet.

I haven't made this recipe in a couple of years, but it one of my absolute favorites. My sister made these for me the first time I had them and they became a fav... I have made them for parties and office potlucks and they are the first to go... The cookie dough filling is so wonderful that now my sister and I have taken to doubling it for some extra goodness... Actually I think I may make these tomorrow...

I have always used the recipe out of the original magazine, but couldn't find it so I came on line...I was SHOCKED to see anyone DISLIKED this!! My children have ALWAYS loved this recipe...as well as anyone I've made this for! The cookie dough portion is delicious and you don't have to worry about raw eggs...the kids have talked about using it to make home made cookie dough ice cream!! Follow the directions and it is amazing!!

These brownies are great! I have been making them for years and everybody always loves them. I don't know how these could get a bad reveiw. If you overcook these they will get dry so pull them out when it says to even if you don't think they are done they probably are. If you follow the receipe, you can't go wrong! YUM!

These brownies are so delicious! I made them quickly, without waiting for the layers to cool, and they still tasted great!

These were wonderful! I don't see how some people had issues with these. I was in somewhat of a hurry so I had to spread the cookie dough on top before the brownies cooled completely and even put them in the fridge to chill while they were still somewhat warm. They still turned out amazing!
