DESSERT HEAVEN (COOKIE DOUGH, REESE'S, AND BROWNIES) RECIPE - (3.8/5)



Dessert Heaven (Cookie Dough, Reese's, and Brownies) Recipe - (3.8/5) image

Provided by á-48726

Number Of Ingredients 3

8 ounces refrigerated chocolate chip cookie dough
12 Reese's Peanut Butter cups
20 ounces brownie mix, prepared

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F Prepare brownie batter according to box directions (but do not cook!). In a greased mini brownie or mini loaf pan (12 slots per tray) press cookie dough in the bottom of each slot. Put an upside down Reese cup in each on top of the pressed dough. Top by pouring brownie mix evenly over each slot. Bake approximately 18 minutes (will vary by oven). Allow cooling, if you can wait, and enjoy :).

Tips:

1. Use a Good Quality Peanut Butter:

Opt for natural peanut butter without added sugar or oils. A smooth or crunchy variety can be used, depending on your preference.

2. Cream the Butter and Sugar Together Properly:

Make sure the butter and sugar are light and fluffy before adding the other ingredients. This will help to ensure a chewy texture.

3. Don't Overmix:

Once you add the dry ingredients, mix just until they are combined. Overmixing can result in a tough brownie.

4. Chill the Dough:

Chilling the dough before baking will help to prevent it from spreading too much in the oven.

5. Use a Cookie Scoop:

A cookie scoop will help you to drop the dough evenly onto the prepared baking sheet. This will also ensure that the brownies are uniform in size.

6. Bake the Brownies Until Just Set:

When brownies are overbaked, they become dry and crumbly. Check them a few minutes before the recommended baking time, and insert a toothpick into the center. The toothpick should come out with just a few moist crumbs attached.

Conclusion:

Peanut butter cookie dough brownies are the perfect combination of peanut butter, chocolate, and cookie dough.

They are easy to make and always a hit with friends and family. Just be sure to follow the tips above to ensure that your brownies turn out perfectly!
