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.
Brownie recipe
1 1/4 c flour
1 ts salt
2 Tb coco powder
11 ounces bittersweet chocolate
2 sticks butter (cubed)
1 1/2 c sugar
1/2 c brown sugar
5 eggs
2 ts vanilla
Over a double boiler melt your chocolate and cubed butter. Once the chocolate and butter is smooth, add your sugars and take off the heat. Add 3 eggs to the chocolate mixture and mix well. Then add the other 2 eggs and vanilla.
In another bowl, mix your flour, salt and coco powder. Sprinkle the flour mixture over your chocolate mixture and fold it into the chocolate mixture, being sure not to overwork the batter.
Chocolate chip cookie dough recipe

1/2 ts baking soda
1/2 ts salt
1 stick butter (room temp)
3/8 c white sugar
3/8 c brown sugar
1/2 ts vanilla
1 egg

Cream your room temperature butter and sugars together until light and fluffy. Mix in your egg and vanilla.
In another bowl, mix your flour, baking soda and salt.
Add your flour mixture into your butter mixture.
Add your chocolate chips.
Chocolate ganche recipe
12 oz chocolate
1 c heavy cream
Over a double broiler melt your chocolate and cream together, stir until shiny and smooth. Take off the heat. You can use the ganche several different ways. We are going to use this ganche right away.
Steps...
Make your brownie batter and cookie dough batter
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.
Bake at 350 for about 45 minutes to 1 hr.
Cool the brownie and once the brownie is cool, make your ganche and pour the ganche over your brownie.
Let the ganche set and then cut your brownies.
Enjoy!

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.
