Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Brownies, aka Death By Chocolate. No, Seriously.

I stumbled across this idea on Bakerella and decided I just simply had to try it. I did the making it from scratch thing though, using the one bowl brownie recipe from smitten kitchen and Symphony cookie recipe from this very blog! These were a big hit with everyone - I found it incredibly sweet/rich, so I cut them into tiny little 1.5x1.5cm squares, handed people a toothpick, and had them eat it like little brownie/cookie lollipops.

Time: 1:30
Serves: a lot

Ingredients:
Brownie from smitten kitchen, minus 1/2 stick butter
Cookie from Epicurean Adventures

Ganache:
12oz semi-sweet chocolate chips
slightly less than 3/4 cup heavy cream
6Tbsp butter

1. Make the cookie dough recipe according to OhmsAndFarads's recipe on Epicurean Adventures.
2. Make the brownie batter according to the recipe on smitten kitchen. Preheat oven to 350F. Grease a 9x13 pan. Pour the brownie batter into the pan. Drop spoonfuls of the cookie dough into the batter, pressing lightly to level it. Bake at 350F for 35min, or until a toothpick comes out mostly clean. Let cool.
3. Heat the cream and butter over low flame (don't boil). Pour over the chocolate chips and stir until the chocolate melts. It initially looks like it's seizing up, but just keep stirring and it'll be fine. Spread over the cookie-brownies and let set in the fridge. Cut and enjoy!

I think you can cut down the amount of sugar/butter/eggs that the individual recipes call for. I personally found this super super rich, so next time I think I would only use 2 eggs & 1 cup sugar for the brownie, 1 bar of chocolate for the chocolate chip cookie, and perhaps use half unsweetened and half semi-sweet chocolate for the ganache. It's really up to each baker to determine how they want to adjust recipes to their own tastes though.
