You cookie dough sneakers (you know who you are) don't have to hide anymore! Try these rich, chocolatey brownies and see what I mean. :-)

NOTE: Store in covered container in refrigerator. They are great cold, but if you let them warm up to room temperature, they are even softer, creamier and the flavors of the chocolate are enhanced.

That's a good thing! :-D

Pour yourself a big glass of milk for this one, you'll need it! Sea is right, if you love the taste of cookie dough then these will be your go-to brownies recipe. The brownie layer is not too rich. But the cookie dough frosting with the chocolate drizzle really takes these brownies to a whole new level. These are just full of chocolate goodness. Delish! The Test Kitchen

How to Make Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Brownies

Step-by-Step

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Brownies: Combine sugar, flour, cocoa, and salt. Add oil, applesauce, eggs, and vanilla and blend on medium speed for 5 minutes. Pour into a prepared 9x13 inch pan. Bake for 30 minutes and cool completely. (Be sure brownies are COOL!)
Filling: Cream butter and sugars, add a dash of salt, then add milk and vanilla. Gradually add in flour until creamy. Fold in chocolate chips and spread mixture over cooled brownies, then refrigerate until firm.
Drizzle: Melt chocolate and shortening in a glass bowl in microwave and stir until smooth. Combine and drizzle on top of brownies.
