Rich fudge Cookie Dough Frosted Fudge Brownies topped with a dreamy chocolate chip cookie dough frosting for an outrageous brownie eating experience!
Honestly, every time I bake my one bowl fudge brownies, I think…it doesn’t get any better than this! So easy to bake and pure brownie bliss to eat. They just melt in your mouth with all their gooey fudgy goodness. We love love love these brownies!
Well, the other night I proved my thoughts wrong when I topped a batch of these warm brownies with a creamy dreamy cookie dough frosting. I combined my love for brownies and cookies and all I could think was why have I never thought to do this before?! To die for!
These ended up being the most perfect treat for girl’s night. I was trying to decide between cookies or brownies and went with brownies, but as they were baking, it dawned on me that I could combine the two into one decadent dessert for the girls and I to indulge in while we chatted the evening away. Talk about a sweet way to end the day!
These certainly didn’t last long and I’ve had so many requests for the recipe that I decided to make them again so I could post the full recipe on here. They’re one of those desserts I’d add to a list of ones you must try before you die! They’re out of this world amazing and they’re so easy to make. I used my one bowl fudge brownie recipe because they’re the best and the frosting can be whipped together in no time with ingredients you probably already have on hand.
You might want to sit down the first time you eat one. They’re a treat that will knock you off your feet! Enjoy!

Rich fudge Cookie Dough Frosted Fudge Brownies topped with a dreamy chocolate chip cookie dough frosting for an outrageous brownie eating experience!
Ingredients
Brownies:
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 4 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 1 and 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
Cookie Dough Frosting:
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup light brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 and 1/4 cups heat-treated all-purpose flour (see Notes)
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/3 to 1/2 cup whole milk
- 1 cup mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- To make the Brownies: Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray and set aside.
- Place the butter and chocolate chips in a large microwave safe bowl. Heat in the microwave for about 2 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds, until the chocolate chips are melted and smooth. Remove from microwave.
- Whisk in the sugar and cocoa powder until well combined.
- Add the eggs one at a time and whisk until smooth. Stir in the vanilla.
- Add the flour, baking powder, and salt, and stir until well incorporated.
- Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish. Bake for about 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool completely.
- To make the Frosting: Beat the butter and brown sugar together until smooth and creamy. Beat in the vanilla. Add the heat-treated flour and salt and beat until well combined. Start by adding 1/3 cup milk, then add more as needed until the frosting reaches a smooth, spreadable consistency. Stir in the mini chocolate chips.
- Spread the frosting evenly over the cooled brownies. Cut into squares and enjoy!
Notes
How to Heat-Treat Flour: Since the frosting isn’t baked, it’s important to heat-treat the flour before using it. Place the flour in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave on HIGH in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until the flour reaches 165°F on an instant-read thermometer (this usually takes about 1 to 1½ minutes, depending on your microwave). Let the flour cool completely before using in the frosting.
My first time and I wouldn’t change a thing! Delicious!
Yay! So happy to hear! I hope you continue to enjoy!
Just a question on the flour in the frosting- I thought you weren’t supposed to eat raw flour? Because these look amazing, maybe I heard wrong? Thank you!
Hi Sarah! I’ve hear mixed stories over the years and haven’t had any issues eating raw flour myself or in my family. If you’re concerned about it, you could substitute the regular flour with an oat or nut flour. Hope this helps! Enjoy!
Don’t eat raw flour! It does contain bacteria!! Just cook the flour on a sheet pan at 350 degrees F for 10 mins and then follow the recipe!!! Stay healthy! 🙂
How do you think it would be if I substituted whole milk with almond milk?
Hi Desiree! I couldn’t say for sure as I never use almond milk. I’m guessing it would work great and probably just add a hint of almond flavor to the frosting which would be nice. Certainly worth a try. Enjoy!
Absolutely loved this brookie!!! Was a little impatient with the frosting, so when it started melting I was a bit worried- but in the end I had a gorgeous creamy texture that was so good! Will try waiting next time to try the other way. 🙂
Totally drooling over here…two of my favorite things combined in one!
Holy moly, these look amazing. What a fun new twist on a brookie! 🙂 I can’t wait to try these. Thanks for sharing!
