Chocolate Chip Cookie Brownies

Is it a cookie? or is it a Brownie?

Warning...........

I take no responsibility to what this post may do to your waistline!

Truly the best description of these bars is, they are absolutely phenomenal! Imagine this: rich, decadent brownies topped with chocolate chip cookie dough! Topped again with Chocolate ganache! you just can’t get much better than these bars! Part Brownie, part cookie! It’s everything you know and love, baked up into one amazing dessert.

Make these and all of your family and friends will love you forever. ~ I made them for Hollywood's 22nd birthday!! They were a huge hit!

The best part, besides how amazingly yummy they are.....they are AMAZINGLY EASY!

All you need is your favorite brownie mix and a pouch of Chocolate Chip Cookie Mix.

Here's what I used - we LOVE the Ghirardelli Double Chocolate Brownies (I mixed up 2 boxes because they make a small batch of brownies) and One pouch of Betty Crocker Chocolate Chip Cookie Mix


Follow the directions on the box for making the brownies and pour into a greased 9 X13 pan.

Next, mix the cookie dough as directed on the pouch and drop by rounded tablespoons into the brownie batter. I pressed the dough down lightly into the brownie batter.

Bake at 350 for 35-40 minutes or until toothpick inserted 2 inches from side of pan comes out almost clean. When they’re done, take them out and let them cool completely.

The Betty Crocker website suggests you frost with a can of Betty Crocker Rich & Creamy Chocolate Frosting, but I made Chocolate ganache!

Chocolate Ganache
12 oz. semi-sweet chocolate morsels
3/4 cup heavy whipping cream
6 Tbsp butter

  • In a small saucepan, heat cream and butter until just before the boiling stage.
  • Pour over the chocolate morsels.
  • Stir until smooth.
Pour ganache on top and spread it out evenly. You will want to let the ganache set up before cutting.

Once the ganache has set, then cut the brownies and enjoy.

They sure look YUMMY!


They taste even better!

*Tip from the Betty Crocker Kitchens*
This is one of those little secrets we know you’ll love! Cutting brownies or any bar with a chewy and dense texture is much easier when you use a plastic knife.

Blessed with Grace

I've made these twice and both times was disappointed with how dry the cookie dough got it. How was yours? Your cookie part doesn't look super moist either but certainly not as dry as mine. Any trick? The idea of topping them with ganache is a great one.

Hope your daughter had a great birthday!

After I read this post I couldn't stop thinking about these chocolate chip cookie brownies so I made them! I had to bake them quite a bit longer for the brownie part to get done enough, but oh my oh my they are AMAZING! Especially with a glass of milk. Thanks so much for the recipe!

Fabulous! Next stop...peanut butter cookie dough!

I cheated by using some break and bake cookie dough I had in the fridge and they turned out great. And who knew I could make gnache?!

Thanks for sharing. Love your blog.

Cheryl, I just wanted to tell you that since I saw this post a few weeks ago, I couldn't get these brownies out of my head. When my sister-in-law asked us to bring a dessert to Christmas dinner, this is exactly what I decided to bring.

I didn't do the ganache part - I found a Ghirardelli mix that has a chocolate fudge packet to pour on the top, so I used a box of that and a box of the double chocolate as you suggested.

YUM! They were a HUGE hit, and I know this will be my go-to dessert from now on!

Thanks for sharing!!

Nester says these are great. And if Bakerella made them, too, well I'm gonna try them myself. Too bad you can't guarantee they won't increase my waistline...

Okay so I had been wanting to try these for a couple of weeks now... I finally did yet I didn't have Chocolate cookie dough mix (didn't want to take away from the simplicity and make a batch myself) so I used a pouch of Peanut Butter Cookie dough mix. I must say the PB&Brownie mixture with the chocolate Ganache! Was like a PB Cup Cake delicious!!

Thanks for the inspiration and my new found favorite chocolate dessert.
