Tuesdays with Dorie: Chipster Topped Brownies
Chocolate Chip Cookies. Brownies. Two of America’s favorite desserts.
They were made for each other.

This week’s TWD, picked by Beth at Supplicious, is Dorie’s Chipster Topped Brownies. Before I read the recipe, I wasn’t really sure what “Chipster” was referring to, but when I found out that it meant cookie dough, I was sold. I actually made these brownies over a week in advance (shocking!). I made 1/2 the batch in a 9×9 pan, and split it into about 16 servings (18 if you include the crusts I cut off). My servings were around 265 calories each.. (SPOILER ALERT: Dorie’s calorie count ahead!!) I think Dorie’s were closer to 400 cals.
Unlike some of our other TWDers, I didn’t have any trouble with this recipe. Some found it difficult to spread the cookie dough over the brownie batter- my method was to drop small amounts of cookie dough over the brownies and spread with greased fingertips. As for taste, I think these really hit the mark. With each bite, you get the best of both worlds. To me, they’re best eaten at a picnic, in a packed lunch or at a ball game (most of these were consumed during baseball games when the Phils came to play the Reds last week!).
Great choice, Beth! A perfect all-American treat to kick off the summer.

They look perfect. Adn now that I’ve seen your calorie count, I think I’ll cut my portions a little smaller, too 🙂
Those look delicious! And I love your new blog design!
Very well done! Those look beautiful–especially without the crusts (as I am also a de-cruster 😉 )!
Your brownies look wonderful. Yikes about the calories!
Yipes, that’s a lot of calories! (Not that I didn’t have a clue, what with all that chocolate and butter!) Your brownie looks perfect!
Your brownies look fantastic!!! Love them.
Yours turned out so nice! I love your new blog look too btw!
As for the toaster strudel, please do include it in your round-up! Thanks!
Those look so perfect. Glad you didn’t have any trouble.
I also used my fingers to ‘gently’ spread the dough over the batter, but still didn’t want to bake. They were still delicious.
