This recipe for Cookie Dough Brownies is so rich and decadent it’s almost sinfully bad. But not quite. Unless you devour the whole pan.
I’ve been making this recipe for years and I’ve got to say – I think it’s my favorite brownie recipe. There are three layers – brownies, cookie dough (egg-free), and finally melted chocolate on top.
Chocolate, cookie dough, and more chocolate? What more could one want?
If I’m in a hurry, I use a box mix of brownies to speed the process along. Whenever I take these to a potluck or friend’s house, I get many compliments and recipe requests.

You make the most amazing looking goodies!.. I want to try so many of them but I’m on insulin and have to really watch my sugar intake..how do you think your recipes would hold up with a sugar substitute?
Erika says
I’d say it’s worth a try ,Melanie. I’ve never done it, but I’m sure you could look it up to see if there’s any tips or recommendations for substituting sugar.
And thank you!
