The Next Browniebabe

I've been waiting for Myriam to start another round of Browniebabe of the Month. For my entry, I decided to bake Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Brownies. Very successful but very rich. I had 2 brownies, and now I feel sick. Maybe next time I wouldn't use a stick of butter in the cookie dough. I like this recipe because there's no egg in the cookie dough so it's perfectly safe to eat. It overpowered the brownie, so although you get the texture of the brownie, you can't really taste it. Next time, I'm going to try baking the cookie dough on top for a few minutes. I think it might not be as rich than just chilling it on top in the fridge.

Now I know what you're thinking. If I had changes to make, why am I entering this into the round up? I don't expect to win. I enter challenges to try new recipes and to share recipes I find successful or recipes I tried and suggest ways to improve them. I would make these brownies again but with the changes listed above.

I got this recipe from Cookie Madness but I changed the ingredients a good bit.
