Cookie Dough Brownies
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

Reviews
This was an ok brownie recipe. I doubled the cookie dough layer as some suggested but I thought it was too much. Maybe 1 1/2 recipes would work?
This is one of my very favorite dessert recipes! I've been making these brownies ever since they first appeared in TOH in 1995. They always bring rave reviews and a pan of them never lasts very long!
These brownies are delicious. After reading the other reviews, I used boxed brownie mix (9x13 size), doubled the filling, and added mini chocolate chips. I will make these again.
These definitely satisfy our sweet tooth. They're yummy!
You need to double the cookie dough portion. Otherwise there isn't enough.Great brownies. Cookie dough is amazing. They are much richer than I expected.
These were AMAZING! I will definitely make these again! Loved the taste of the brown sugar combined with the chocolate and brownie!
Really, really rich! Great to take to a bake sale or potluck because they cut into squares easily.
I made 2 pans last week, 1 for a function and another for myself. The whole pan was gone quickly at the function. I also have very strict dietary restrictions due to allergies and I was able to make this without dairy, eggs and soy which was a definite plus for me. We just subbed apple sauce for eggs, and used soy free dairy free butter, almond milk and dairy free chocolate chips. I was a bit skeptical of how they would turn out but boy was I surprised how great they were. Wonderful dessert and we will be making these again soon!
I baked the brownies only 20 minutes so would not be dry. Still the brownie was nothing special. I doubled the filling like many other posters had stated and divided the filling adding mini chocolate chips to half and mint chips to the other half before spreading it over the brownies. It was too much filling for the amount of brownie, my fault. I did like the filling that had the mint chips in it. The glaze was too hard, thus making it hard to cut. Glaze broke up in chunks, I do not plan on making them again.
We omitted the nuts, but followed the rest of the recipe. We had to double the ingredients for the cookie dough mixture. It was absolutely amazing!
