Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Brownies

With three layers of chocolate brownie, raw cookie dough filling (without the egg!), and rich chocolate glaze topping, these luscious sweet treats are the perfect way to spread the love this year.

For brownies

• 1 package brownie mix (or your favorite recipe) (I used family sized dark chocolate fudge brownie mix)
  
• 1/2 cup chocolate chips, added to mix

Bake brownies according to package. Cool completely.

For filling:

• 1/2 cup butter, softened
• 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 2 tablespoon milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1 cup flour

Beat butter, brown sugar, and sugar until fluffy. Add milk and vanilla. Blend well. Add flour and mix well. (I added in a handful of mini semi-sweet chocolate chips) Spread mixture over cooled brownies. (It seems like there isn't enough of this mixture to cover all the brownies, but it is very rich so I don't think you'd want to make more. The easiest way I found was to flatten out portions at a time and then apply it to the top of the brownies.)

For chocolate glaze topping:

• 1 (6-oz.) package chocolate chips
• 1 tablespoon corn oil, margarine, or shortening

Melt chocolate and butter until smooth. Spoon glaze over filling and spread to cover.

(Instead of using this glaze, I made a semi-sweet ganache.)

These were impossible to resist! Rich and delicious. We liked them best chilled so I covered and stored them in the fridge. If I were bringing these to a dinner or potluck I think I would chill them and then cut them into bite sized pieces... the perfect thing to pop in your mouth!
