We’re big fans of chocolate chip cookie dough… and big fans of brownies… so why not combine the two together?!
This frosting is amazing… and really hard to resist eating straight from the bowl or spoon… just ask my daughter who kept coming back for more!
This recipe is easy to make and can be top allergen free, gluten free and vegan depending on your choice of butter and cream cheese.
The two items you’ll need from our shop are our double chocolate brownie mix (which requires just oil and water to bake) and also our vanilla frosting mix.
The first step to making these is to gather all your ingredients and supplies.

Tips:
- Be sure to soften cream cheese to room temperature; if cold, topping will be lumpy.
- Allow the bars to cool for the full 2 hours with the frosting – they are best served that way.
- The secret for cutting bars easily is to line the pan with parchment paper. When it is time to cut the bars, just lift the baked bar with the parchment out of the pan, and cut. This also makes cleanup extra easy.
These chocolate chip cookie dough brownies are best served within 3-5 days, store any leftovers covered in refrigerator..
I asked my daughter how she liked these she said ” very good and the moist… and the icing is the best!
