    I am on a massive brownie kick at the moment! Every recipe idea I have seems to centre around brownies. I'm not complaining, I just hope you love brownies as much as I do! You do don't you?

    The base recipe of these brownies are adapted from my cookies and cream brownies. I've made a few adjustments here and there but otherwise it is the same base recipe. I think it has become my favourite brownie recipe, closely followed by my never-fail triple chocolate flourless brownies of course.

    But what makes this brownie recipe so special?

    Brownie Tips

    • These brownies use a higher brown sugar to sugar ratio to increase moisture and add extra chew and depth of flavour. All my edge piece lovers will appreciate that added chew on the edges!
    • Only two eggs are used rather than four or sometimes six in other brownie recipes. I cannot stand the 'eggy' flavour some brownies have.
    • We use melted dark chocolate and cocoa powder for added richness.
    • Slightly under-bake the brownies for the fudge like texture!
    • No added raising agents to ensure fudgy brownies. No cakey brownies here!
    • Baking these in a 9"x9" baking pan instead of a 9"x13" pan ensures thick brownies!

    The idea of cookie dough brownies has been on my mind for a number of weeks now so one night - around 10pm - I couldn't take it any longer and I made cookie dough brownies! As we need to freeze the cookie dough balls so they don't bake in the oven, you can imagine that I didn't finish making these until well over midnight. They turned into a fun, midnight treat!

    This is how you 'adult' right?...

    Right?

    Okay, so making brownies at midnight and sitting and eating them straight from the pan in the early hours of the morning probably isn't the greatest, but hey, I can do what I want. Besides, how can you resist cookie dough?

    I used my homemade and safe to eat cookie dough recipe. This recipe contains no eggs and gives options for using oat flour in place of regular flour or a method for cooking the flour first if you find eating raw flour gives you a belly ache like me.
