Did ya think I’d forgotten ya? Hardly! However from now until the end of June I’m focused on some work-related activities that are extremely time and energy consuming, so my apologies from now that updates will be rather sparse. However if all goes as planned I will be able to resume a much more prolific schedule again

This time around I’m back with today’s Tuesdays With Dorie challenge, Chipster Brownies. After the success of the Tiramisu Cake (I even got offers to make it for $$$! :O ) I was a little underwhelmed by some of the other recipes that were picked since which is why I hadn’t participated. This week however the challenge was brownies, and who doesn’t love brownies? I know I certainly do (they are probably the most well-represented dessert here on TriniGourmet.com )

As always, Dorie gives a well-worn favourite an unexpected twist, by including a layer of chocolate chip cookie dough ontop of the brownie batter. I wasn’t sure how this would work out, especially since my cookie dough seemed a LOT heavier than the brownie batter (maybe cos I omitted the walnuts?). Thankfully the ingredients sorted themselves out in the baking process, and as you can see the brownie batter rose a lot!

Contrary to the title I didn’t get many chips in my ‘chipster’ the chips seemed to settle halfway through the brownie batter, forming a gooey almost fudge like layer between the crisp cookie topping and the cake like brownie base. Can’t say I’m complaining
