Pinterest is slowly taking over my life...

Have you been to pinterest.com?  I'm not sure if I should tell you how awesome it is or if I should tell you to stay away because it's like a powerful street drug.  Once is never enough and you just keep coming back for more.  I started looking at Pinterest for some craft stuff, then I started looking at girl's bows, kids crafts, etc and last week I realized the HUGE amount of food recipes...  I had to make something to take to a family Christmas gathering and was tired of all my old standbys so I went to Pinterest for inspiration.  That is where I found it.

Ultimate Chocolate Chip Cookie n’ Oreo Fudge Brownie Bar!!

This is something you HAVE to make, but I'd suggest picking up some vanilla ice cream to have on hand, that is the one thing that could make this baby any better.

The recipe is so easy it is crazy!

First mix up your favorite chocolate chip cookie dough recipe, not adding quite all the flour.  (There isn't a science to this.  My recipe calls for 3 1/2 cups and I used 3 cups)  I think the goal is to be able to push it into a pan so I tried to get the same consistency of Gooey Butter cake batter.   Press into a 9x13 pan that has been sprayed with Pam or cooking spray of you choice.  Place Double stuff Oreos on top of the cookie dough, pushing in just a tad.  Then whip up a box of Family size Brownies according to box directions and pour on top.  Keep in mind you might need to adjust amounts depending on the size of your cookie recipe.  (If you put too much into the pan and run it over I'm not responsible or coming to clean your stove!)  Bake at 350 degrees for 45-55 minutes or until Brownies are done.  Voila!  It's like heaven in a pan!

The original recipe calls for a jar of Hot Fudge sauce.  A tad to be added to brownie batter and more to be put on top.  I skipped this step figuring that was just a bit too much for me.  But again, Ice Cream on top would be DELISH!

Happy Baking!
