Somehow these days it is always craving for sweets. I need a break. Nevertheless the idea of fudgy brownies with crunchy chocolate chip cookies is a marriage made in heaven.

While I was going through quite a lot of recipes that paired them up, I found most of them were uncooked cookie dough. That I wasn’t very sure as I couldn’t open out to accept the fact that raw flour as edible. I’m glad I found this version. Every bite is heavenly. The fudgy chocolaty brownie with an amazing crunchy crust of the chocolate chip cookie

I liked the beautifully decked up chocolate chip cookie layer with the chocolate chips. But I also couldn’t resist the idea of having a ganache layer on top. I also had some left over caramel sauce which I drizzled on top of ganache. My preference is the one with ganache layer and the caramel definitely adds up to the whole world of flavors into one bite.
