Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Brownies

Ok…i admit it. I love cookie dough! I know, I know it is not the safest thing to eat, but it is so irresistible. When making cupcakes, brownies and cookie dough it is hard to resist not licking the spoons and beaters.

It has been engrained in me since I was a little girl when my mom would make something. She would always hand one beater to me and one to my brother. If you are a cookie dough fanatic like me then this recipe is for you! The cookie dough does not contain any eggs, so go ahead and break off a piece, you can eat these without fear! These Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Brownies combine two favorites into one delicious indulgence.

Fudgy chocolate brownies are topped with egg-free cookie dough and finished with a chocolate ganache. Three layers of irresistible goodness!
