These moist fudgy brownies have a scrumptious topping that tastes just like chocolate chip cookie dough! My husband and I and our young sons enjoy church fellowship at frequent potluck meals. Everyone loves these brownies...and they make enough to feed a crowd. —Rebecca Kays Klamath Falls, Oregon

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.

My daughter made these last night and they are excellent! The only thing she did different was omit the walnuts.

I had trouble spreading the cookie dough. It's definitely not a pretty dessert. I sneaked a piece before I put them out at our neighborhood barbecue, and it tastes delicious--it's just not pretty to look at! Also, the cookie layer is so thin, I don't know how it could possibly be that thick in the photo. If I make these again, the cookie dough will have to be doubled. So, this one gets mixed reviews. Tastes good, but not very easy to make it look good.

having made this recipe many times, i have a few changes that i feel are quite necessary. first, there is no stinkin way that it only takes 16-22 mins to cook those brownies! it easily takes over half an hour. exact times vary of course, but not that much. do not mix the chocolate chips into the cookie dough, it will either tear the brownies to shreds as you spread or simply refuse to spread at all. sprinkle them on top, please. this works fine without the nuts, subbing extra chocolate chips for the nuts works great. and this is just something i like to do, but a mix of almond and vanilla extracts with some honey works wonderfully as a sub for the straight vanilla.

This is a great dessert!! People rave about it wherever I take it! However I have a confession to make......I have never made the brownie part. I use a good-quality brownie mix,let it cool completely, then frost with the cookie dough layer. I always return home with a scraped-clean pan.By the way Philsfan and anyone else wondering the same thing, I never put nuts in the brownies as long as the recipe calls for one cup or less since I am allergic to nuts.

Do NOT cool before spreading the topping on or they will come apart. Ice the brownies with cookie dough while both are warm.

My 15 year old daughter made these for a church potluck and everyone loved them. She had so many ask her for the recipe.

Yes, the cookie dough layer is indeed raw. You do not cook it, but notice there are no eggs in the cookie dough part of the recipe. Therefore it is perfectly safe (and delicious)!
