COOKIE DOUGH BROWNIES

Cookie Dough Brownies image

When I take these rich brownies to any get-together, I carry the recipe, too, because it always gets requested. Children of all ages love the tempting "cookie dough" filling. This special treat is typically the first to be gone from the buffet table-even before the entrees! -Wendy Bailey, Elida, Ohio
