BROWNIE-BATTER COOKIE CUPS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
• Mix flour and sugar together in a large bowl. Set aside.
• Beat cream cheese and butter together using an electric mixer in a mixing bowl until combined. Stir into flour mixture until just combined. Press pastry dough evenly into the bottom and up the sides of each cup of an ungreased 24-cup mini muffin pan.
• Heat milk chocolate chips and butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat until melted and chocolate is only slightly lumpy, 2 to 3 minutes. Cool slightly and stir in sugar, egg, and vanilla extract.
• Spoon roughly 1 teaspoon batter into each pastry-lined muffin cup.
• Bake in the preheated oven until pastry is golden and filling is slightly puffed, about 20 minutes. Let cool in pan 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

COOKIE JAR BROWNIES

Steps:

• Make the shortbread layer: Preheat the oven to 350˚. Line a 9-by-13-inch baking pan with foil, leaving a 2-inch overhang on the two short sides; lightly coat with cooking spray. Arrange the shortbread cookies in a single layer in the prepared pan.
• Make the cookie-dough layer: Whisk the flour, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl. Beat the butter and brown sugar in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until pale and fluffy, 3 to 5 minutes. Beat in the egg and vanilla until smooth. Reduce the speed to low and beat in the flour mixture until just combined. Stir in the baking chips and M&M's.
• Make the brownie layer: Melt the butter and chocolate in a medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Let cool slightly. Stir in the granulated sugar and eggs until smooth and glossy. Stir in the flour, cocoa powder and salt until no lumps remain.
• Spoon about half the brownie batter over the shortbread cookies and spread gently to cover. Flatten handfuls of the cookie dough mixture into small patties and lay on top of the brownie batter in a single layer. Spread the remaining brownie batter on top to cover.
• Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center of the brownies comes out clean, 55 to 60 minutes. Transfer to a rack and let cool 1 hour in the pan. Carefully remove from the pan using the foil overhang; transfer the brownies to the rack to cool completely. Cut into pieces.

BROWNIE COOKIE BARS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan.
• Combine sugar, butter, eggs, and vanilla extract in a bowl. Beat in flour, cocoa powder, salt, baking powder, cinnamon, and allspice. Spread batter into the prepared pan; it will just barely reach the corners.
• Bake in the preheated oven until top is dry and edges have started to pull away from the sides of the pan, 20 to 25 minutes. Sprinkle confectioners' sugar on top and cut into squares.

DESSERT HEAVEN (COOKIE DOUGH, REESE'S, AND BROWNIES)

• Prepare brownie batter according to box directions (but do not cook!).
• In a greased mini brownie or mini loaf pan (12 slots per tray) press cookie dough in the bottom of each slot.
• Put an upside down Reese cup in each on top of the pressed dough.
• Top by pouring brownie mix evenly over each slot.
• Bake approximately 18 minutes (will vary by oven).
• Allow to cool, if you can wait, and enjoy :).

OREO AND PEANUT BUTTER BROWNIE CUPCAKES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350f (180c) degrees and line a 12 muffin cup baker with paper liners.
• Prepare brownie mix according to package directions. For each cupcake cup spread 1/2 teaspoon of peanut butter over each Oreo cookie and stack them on top of each other. Place oreo stacks into the cupcake lined muffin cups. Spoon 2 tablespoons of brownie batter over each stacked oreos and let it run down the sides of the cookies. If you have left over brownie batter, bake separately in a separate baker or muffin tin. Bake cookies and brownies for 18 to 20 minutes, until brownies are cooked through. Let cool completely then serve.
• Makes 12 servings.
