Cookie Dough Frosted Brownies

     Brownies hold a special place in most people's heart just by themselves.  That warm chocolate chewy goodness we love is a wonderful thing.  The recipe I bring to you today does not try to improve on that.  This cookie dough frosting is just the perfect compliment to the deep chocolate flavor found in this unique brownie base. 

      I need to give my son in law credit for finding this recipe (he found it in Mel's Kitchen Cafe).  When he served these for my daughter's birthday party, I couldn't get home fast enough to make them again! The Cookie Dough frosting is really something special.  It doesn't overpower your taste buds or taste too sweet.  I know you will love them too! 

     First you make the brownies by melting butter and chocolate chips together in a pan over low heat.  (Yes you heard correctly, there are melted chocolate chips in the batter!)  When they are melted take the pan off the heat and stir in the sugar.  Add the eggs one by one until each is fully incorporated.  Add flour and salt and beat until you see bubbles in the batter.  Pour batter into a 13 x 9 pan and bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes.  Turn heat to 325 degrees and bake for 10 minutes more.  Remove from oven and allow to cool.

While the brownies cool, make your frosting.  Cream the butter and sugars together until light and then add the milk and vanilla.  Slowly add in the flour and salt until blended.  Stir in chocolate chips.

Drop in small spoonfuls over the top of the brownies evenly. 

Carefully use the back of a tablespoon to slowly smooth the frosting over the top of the brownies.  Enjoy!
