What better way to end the year than with a final fix, before your sent off to food rehab in 2012? I decided to make a monster dessert. This baby is a brownie spooning with some cookie dough, covered under a blanket of chocolate ganche and this was the result of that situation. Keep your scale hidden underground for a few days after this one.

Butter a 9x13 baking dish and lay parchment paper in the pan
Pour your brownie mixture into the pan
Scoop out your cookie dough and lay on top of the brownie batter, softly push the down a bit.

And so it begins
Starting my brownie batter off with some chocolate and butter
I added some eggs to my chocolate mixture and in another bowl mixed my dry ingredients together. Then I folded my dry into the wet mixture.
Now I'm starting my chocolate chip cookie dough by creaming my sugars and my butter
I have my dry to the left (flour, baking soda, salt) and my wet (butter, sugar, egg, vanilla) to the right.

My cookie dough batter
Poured my brownie mix into my buttered and parchment papered baking dish
Then I scooped my cookie dough over the brownie batter
The baked cookie, brownie beast
Just when you thought that you had escaped the gluttony, dun dun dun... BAM! chocolate ganche.
