These are 3 layers to these brownies:
A brownie base Eggless Cookie Dough Chocolate Ganache topping
A fun and flavorful variation is to substitute peanut butter or butterscotch chips in the cookie layer. The recipe below also shows you how to make your own brownie layer from scratch instead of from a box. If you go that route, add eggs to your shopping list.
Let’s Make Some Brownies
Set aside some time to make brownies with cookie dough on top because the recipe comes together in stages. You need to bake and cool the brownie layer before adding the cookie batter and topping. To Make Brownies: To Make the Cookie Batter Layer: To Make the Ganache Topping: Refrigerate until chilled and set. Then cut into squares and serve. For a truly luscious dessert, make your own blizzards by roughly chopping or lightly processing some cookie dough brownies, then mix with slightly softened vanilla ice cream using a hand blender.
How Long Will Cookie Dough Brownies Last In The Fridge?
Cookie dough brownies can be stored for days at room temperature or refrigerated. Cover or seal tightly to prevent them from drying out, and you’ll have moist, chewy brownies for up to a week or more.
Can I Freeze Them?
As with most sugary baked goods, you can rest assured that cookie dough brownies will keep in the freezer for months without deteriorating. For optimal results, store the cut squares in vacuum packs and they’ll retain their moisture. Thaw at room temperature before serving.
