My sister in law is a fantastic cook. I’m not kidding. Awhile back she made some brownies that were absolutely the best I’ve ever had… well, almost every brownie has been the best I’ve ever had. But these are definitely worth repeating!
She told me her secret. I’ve posted the full recipe and pictures here. But this isn’t exactly a recipe as much as it is capitalizing on the convenient packaged mixes from the store and some good old Yankee Ingenuity!
I made a batch last weekend. My son gave the recipe an All-Star rating. His exact words were, “This is everything that is right and good about desert.” I think that about sums it up.
I think the next time, I will try spreading the chocolate chip cookie dough in the pan first. The spread the brownie mix on top. The way the brownies baked up with the cookie dough on top, some bites were mostly all cookie and little brownie. I’d like to see if the balance is more equal if the cookie dough is on the bottom.
Mary made her variation using dark chocolate icing. The result was a very rich brownie. I used plain white icing. I like the color combination. You can change up the icing to suit your mood. I’m thinking my nieces who are in elementary school would like to add sprinkles to the top of their icing. Feel free to improvise based on the occasion!
Serve these brownies with some ice cream, a cup of coffee or tall glass of milk. You’ll agree that they are “right and good”.
