Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Brownie Recipe

Not too long ago, I listed these brownies on my Mother’s Day Wishlist .  This past week, I decided to make these bad boys for my mom’s group at church.   Surprisingly, there were many left over!  For the sake of my summer wardrobe, I gave away the rest to my son’s preschool teachers.  It was a difficult sacrifice and one I am now second guessing.  Seriously, fitting into clothes can be so overrated!  But I know myself, and these brownies should have come with a warning label!
Just in case you are looking for an excuse to buy a new wardrobe in a size up, I am going to post this recipe for you.  They are nearly impossible to stop eating once you start.  Also, if you are serving these to guests, you might want to include a label with the brownies explaining that the frosting does NOT contain any egg.  I think many women passed them up for fear of salmonella poisoning.
Okay Beth, enough with the chit chat, just give us the recipe already….
I modified this recipe just a tad from the original which can be found here by Carla@Let’s Get Cookin’.
Ingredients needed for brownies:
2 boxes Dark Chocolate Ghiradelli brownie mix, plus ingredients to make them  (or your favorite brownie recipe)
Frosting:
1-1/2 sticks butter, softened
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/3 cup sugar
4-1/2 tbsp milk
1-1/2 cups flour
1-1/2 cups mini chocolate chips.
1.  Prepare each box of your brownies according to the package directions and spread batter in a 9×13 pan.  Original recipe requests using one box, but I do not see how one box could possibly produce a sufficiently decadent brownie, and therefore, wholeheartedly recommend using the two!  I baked these for 40 mins at whatever temperature the box told me to.  I find that the secret of a fantastic brownie lies in knowing when to pull them from the oven.  Don’t overbake.  Erring on the side of underbaking is always better.  If you pull the pan from the oven and the center is jiggly, it needs more time.  I don’t rely on the “clean toothpick: method.  I use my nose and my eyes to determine “doneness”.  

2.  Cool your brownies completely before frosting.

3.  Once cool, combine the softened butter, sugars,  and milk using a mixer.  Slowly add the flour until well combined and then hand stir in the mini chocolate chips.

4.  Frost your brownies and then chill them thoroughly before cutting.

5.  Once chilled, slice into bars and try not to eat them all!

Enjoy!  If you try these I’d love to know what you think.  But please, don’t blame me if after eating the entire pan you have a wardrobe malfunction!  I DID warn you.

  1. Just found this recipe and made it over the weekend. You get rave reviews from the whole family! It was scrumptious!!!

  2. I made these thanks to your Mom's Day Gift post! =) And they were incredible! My husband wanted to eat them all in one sitting. Mmm, wish I had some all over again, lol.

  3. Oh you!!! I'm trying to watch my figurine….but I think with a baby on the way I could justify eating these. Brownies are my WEAKNESS and cookie dough…well lets just say that I think I could bake a lot more cookies if I didn't eat so much dough! I'm DEFINATLY making these!!

  4. I made these for teacher appreciation after seeing them on your blog (I am new to your blog too)…they were wonderful!

  5. WOW you just mixed my two favorite loves in one recipe! I can't wait to try it!

  6. … So, it's 7:30 AM and I'm catching up on blogs. Alex (my 5 year-old) who decidedly does NOT have a sweet tooth, just walked in the room, and saw the photo of you holding a brownie. He immediately recognized your fingers (I have no idea how!), and BEGGED me to email you right away and ask you "to save some of those brownies for me, please. They look sooo yummy!" So, I am passing on the message! Looks like if HE was at the mother's group, you wouldn't have had any left-overs! *grin*

  7. Gosh those look absolutely sinful….
    Just the way I like them.

  8. WOW Beth those Look DELICOUS!!! I may have to surprise my sweetheart and my kiddos with these this week!!!

  9. Holy cow, those look decadent!! I can't believe there were any left over. I wouldn't have been able to resist them, myself. Yum!

  11. Here is our latest super brownie recipe. Bake your favorite brownie mix in a 9×13 pan and when it comes out of the oven, spread with a small jar of marshmallow creme. Let it cool a bit and then frost. Your frosting is 1 cup of peanut butter, 2 cups of chocolate chips, and 3 cups of crispy rice cereal. Melt the chocolate chips and peanut butter in the microwave, stir in the crispy rice cereal and then spread over the marshmallow creme. I put in the frig so it can all set. I've been sending these brownies to my stepson who is in the Navy. They are getting rave reviews.

  13. These were amazing…..I could not stop thinking of them until I made them….curiosity may have killed this cat, but it was a delightful death…because of these puppies I fell off the weight watcher wagon and got dragged for miles:)

  14. I made these tonight–added a little salt after tasting the cookie dough icing. Exciting! I'll let you know how they turn out. I may be linking up to your blog if I get a chance to write about these this week. They look yummy! Thanks for sharing.

  15. okay, so I'm literally eating one as I type this. All I can really say is that i ♥ you. 😉

  16. My Son-in-law is going to thanks you for this one! He's my brownine guy. Have a blessed week, and wonderful Mothers Day.

  18. These look amazing!!

    BTW – was sure you lived in Lancaster, was wrong! Love what you are doing with restoring the city!!

  19. i made something similar not too long ago. My hubby and I polished the whole pan off over the weekend – they were SO GOOD!!

  20. Oh, you are evil!! Seriously, though, I can't wait to try these! Have you ever had the brownies topped with chocolate chip cookies? I think it's Betty Crocker that makes a mix that comes in a pouch, they are SO good! We call them brookies!

  23. Okay. So totally worth the extra dress size. 😉

    I've made brownie/choc. chip cookie mix and baked them together in a layer but I am LOVING the idea of the frosting. Frosting is my dear love and nemesis though. I may be in trouble.

    Happy Sunday, girlie.

    XO*T

  24. mmmm, yummy! I've got to get my husband to make these for me 😉
