" JOE'S" PEPPERMINT COOKIES N CREAM BROWNIES
Tired of eating Candy-Cane Joe-Joe cookies straight out of the box? Try them in this recipe! (note: this year I've also seen peppermint Oreos, so you could use those if you don't have a Trader Joes near you). These delicious, fudge-y brownies are made with the popular candy-cane chocolate wafer cookie available at Trader Joe's during the holidays. Make these early in the day as they slice best when cooled completely.

COOKIES & CREAM BROWNIES
You won't want to frost these brownies, since the marbled top is too pretty to cover up. Besides, the tasty cream cheese layer makes them taste as if they're already frosted. The crushed cookies add extra chocolate flavor and a fun crunch. -Darlene Brenden, Salem, Oregon

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Look for semisweet or bittersweet chocolate chips and pure vanilla extract.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in tough, chewy brownies.
- Bake the brownies until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached.
- Let the brownies cool completely before cutting them. This will help prevent them from falling apart.
- For a fudgier brownie, use more chocolate chips and less flour.
- For a cakier brownie, use less chocolate chips and more flour.
- Add your favorite mix-ins, such as nuts, dried fruit, or candy.
