Ultimate Chocolate Chip Cookie Brownie Bars


Hey everyone, I'm sorry that it has been a couple of weeks since I have posted, but we have been trying out some new recipes (as always), but unfortunately, none of them were share worthy! Fortunately, though this recipe is amazing! Then again, how can you go wrong with so much chocolate. this amazing recipe and many more are from: http://blog.babygizmo.com/2012/02/ultimate-chocolate-chip-cookie-oreo-brownie-bars/. She also has a recipe for a similar bar with Reese's that I can't wait to try. Too bad for me that Ethan is a huge Oreo fan and they were on sale. I guess hubbies have to win an occasional battle too. These are also the easiest layered dessert I think I have ever made. Note: all the blue instructions are mine for using an 11x9 pan.





Ingredients:
  • Package of Brownie Mix (+the eggs, oil and water needed for that!) Warning: Ethan and I needed two boxes of Ghirardelli's Brownies to cover our Oreos.
  • Package of Chocolate Chip Cookie Mix (I opted to make the Original Toll House Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough from scratch! If you go this route – use a little less flour than you normally would to keep the cookies moist.)
  • Package of Oreos (regular or Double Stuffed – you choose!)
How to Make Them:
1.  Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a 9×9 baking pan with wax paper or foil and spray with cooking spray. (You can opt for a 13×9 pan if you want thinner bars.) If you choose to use a 11x9 pan as we did, you will need to use a little more cookie batter and an extra box of brownies.
2.  Make your cookie dough whichever way you like and spread in the bottom of the pan. If you are making a full batch of homemade Toll House cookie dough, you will only need half the batch!
3. Top the cookie dough with a layer of Oreos. We used a whole bag minus a half dozen or so. 






 4. Pour Brownie batter evenly over the oreos. Warning: if you use a bigger, 11x9 pan you will need two boxes of brownies. 







5. Bake at 350 degrees for 40 minutes.  11x9 pan needs about 50 minutes to heat through the middle of the brownie.
6. Cool for 5 minutes and then enjoy!  Add some ice cream to completely put this indulgence over the top!
